Various EB questions
 

All my accounts are "personal" type. All have 100% different and REAL people details. All are registered on COM. Adress countries varies but they all in EU.

1. If registering and selling on COM then after first sale pasport or drivers license number is asked. After giving it to them it says that it is verifying and they will come back later. But it keeps verifying forever - two months later still verifying..
So the question is do they have ability to verify it at all if user is EU citizen? Can i enter there just a dummy number next time?


2. Some accounts gets restricted and they ask to contact them to ask a few questions and they will fix it quickly blablabla.. Two options are here- chat, which is never available, and email. If i send them email asking what should i do next, it always comes an answer that nothing can be done and they decided to suspend it completely. There is no even questions - you ask them whats next and they suspend you. So can restrictions be fixed at all???

3. What is recently happening with a new accounts "estimated delivery time"??? Whatever service i chose it shows expected delivery time exactly the same. Old accounts looks like working ok.. So for the new accounts it doesnt matter what delivery options you chose - displayed delivery time is gonna be the same??

4. Is it worth to send ID in advance before converting buyers account into seller account? Because on few accounts sent it in advance and on a couple of them they emailed with automatic letter with a question why im sending it and what is problem, and on some got nothing. But the question stays the same - any advantages sending them ID before they ask for it?

5. Seen some members here add VCC on seller account. Does this gives any advantages?

6. I have one account which got suspended today with some funds available. It has bank account on it. Are they going to pay it out or all is lost?

Hi there,

I will try to answer your questions.

1. Its possible that the ID is already verified but you just dont have a message showing that. Is there a red banner on the account page ?
Nobody knows for sure if Ebay can check the ID details. You can try with F8k3
and see what will happen.

2. Those accounts are dead. Proceed with new ones.

3. I cant answer this question. Maybe its a new thing ebay add.

4. No advantage at all. Send the ID when ebay requires it.

5. No advantage at all. Its more risky than the regular cards.

6. If the account is registered with real details, ID is verified, bank is verified they will send you back the money in 60+ days.

3. That's correct. Rule of thumb is just try to ship the items same day and get it delivered within 3-4 days.

4. It's not less or more risky. The right VCC works perfectly. The advantage is you can protect yourself from eBay pulling money out that you don't want to.

6. It depends on suspension. If it's fraud based, you can say goodbye to that money.

So why did you get suspended?

Re: Various EB questions
 

If i knew why i got suspended then i would never get suspended again :)

Hi,

Regarding 2 - always chat with them. On all accounts chat option should be available :)

They ask those questions - then its a coin toss, some accounts get unsuspended, others not.

Regarding funds - it can be that they will never disburse those, same as amazon does (technically not stealing the funds, just holding indefinitely, ha)

If you need any help with fund appeals - let me know

It is ~160 eur.. So..

Re: Various EB questions
 

Anyone can tell me how to speak to a rel person on a costumer service of CO.UK ? Because when calling it just says to go to help pages and no options to email. After suspension they removed every contact option.. Or how to email them - also no such an option..
