Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Well I did my test by using a hotspot , but the account still got suspended within 20 mins of first listing .
Im not sure why they all keep getting suspended if it’s not an ip problem .
I have no idea how I’m going to create any new accounts , everything was working so perfectly before December

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Wait for mid or end of Feb !!!
Now its not best time…

By they way - what is amount for what you list item ?

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

If you are using the same name each time, and have done this too many times you are an easy target. You can only get suspended so many times before you freak the bots out. Something you are doing is obviously flawed because you shouldn't have this many problems. If you have the same information used on repeat I would take a break, or change the data. Kinda hard since you have to use real information...

This is why each account we make must be treated extremely carefully. Can't just burn accounts.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I have varied the amounts from £30 up to £65 , all still suspended

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

New number name etc was used each time . Your probably right they are somehow linking me but I’m not sure how , as everything I have been using had been different

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

You are creating new account and at same day move to verify phone number and list first item for sale? No collecting cookies etc?

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Cookie collection is not really needed. Buying is also not needed. It is something else that causes the ban.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Cookie collection and buying makes my accounts stronger

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

How it makes stronger ? You think some of ebay monkeys who is sitting at ban button is looking at accounts and thinking “ ohhh this one has buying history, ouuu and cookies as well “ no, i will not ban him 😂😂😂😂

If account is strong and ebay system is over with christmas ban, then you can list whatever you want without buying…..

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Are you serious ? Do you think someone at eBay is sitting all day and is banning accounts ? It’s all automated by an algorithm which is scanning each new account and then determines which positive actions have been executed along side with the potential risk. No monkeys are banning your new accounts.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I agree with this... and I can tell you it's not IPburger that's the issue.

If it was, then all my accounts would have been toast too. I run very very big amazon accounts and I exclusively use their residential IP with no problems whatsoever.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

it is not meant literally, but figuratively. But still buying and cookies its not giving you anything.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I am a fan of this as well - bit of time taken

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I think the better view is, adding cookies defiantly doesn't hurt the account. We should all do our best to increase chances for accounts to last. If you open a brand new account, and your first activity within that day is listing something shortly afterwards, you roll the dice. I don't think eBay checks fingerprints or all these things some are paranoid about, but algo's do flag accounts.

The smartest approach to listing on eBay is treating it like you would if you had never sold on the platform before. I doubt 90%+ people who have never created an account with eBay before open a brand new account and immediately start selling something. It's not normal behavior, and that's what algo's search for.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Same thing happened to me and when I called they did an entire credit check questioning...4 to 5 questions about passed addresses and people I know ...and blah blah...
20 mins is it all it took for them to ban it...since than I use phones but even the phone accounts on last so long...but that might have been on my selling pattern and items. So It guess or check for me. I'm tired of burning phones and real people lending their real info for me to use...pretty soon I'm going to have to buy profiles to use

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Maybe they seen the account had no cookies or browsing history and thought that was a flag? Not sure

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I would consider buying an already-created account that has a little age on it. Then tune the residential IP to the location of creation on IP burger. Keep it under the radar then when you get the dreaded update of your tax information, plug in your details and again return IP to your details.

I know my old accounts did fine going to Ipburger VPNs after years of using a different service.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Aged accounts are treated differently than new accounts. No question. And this makes 100% rational sense. You’ve established positive enough reputation, why should algorithms be strict on accounts like this? They aren’t. That’s why most of eBay sellers who run profits are from aged accounts. It’s in their earnings reports.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Well an update , im still getting banned within 20 minutes of listing and I’ve run out of ideas as to why . Only thing I can think of for now is that they somehow see me creating these accounts on the same Mac but that doesn’t even make sense .
Idk anymore tbh , they just seem to ban every single account

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I use a program called tmac to change Mac address of computer. Try it and let me know

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Speaking of which what is your current method of account creation?

Milwaukee a no go?

Seen them listed on Aliexpress and DHGate, but pretty much everything has a copy. I think it has more to do with refunding services now.

I have to agree, buy some things needed first, browse, message, watch, do not change any registration info in the 1st 30 days. Keep it simple and slow for 30 days

no, not at all. I mean changing phone, email, etc...
