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...

branded with quite the potential of knock-offs in existence

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Are you telling me you change the
Stealth account to a real account info that has been banned after 30 days?

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Tried an auction style listing for first listing account still banned .
Anyone who has been able to successfully make a new account and list recently can you please show your method and I will follow .

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

what did you list by the way

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I listed a gym bench as someone recommended before for £30 just as a test .

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Buy items first

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

alright - clear - and that shouldnt be considered high risk indeed

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I’ll find a way

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Keep us updated how you get on. It's tough out there at the moment...

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

the reacitvate your account message seems to be appearing often, I got one this week, did the call in song and dance but it did not work and account remained restricted

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

From Nov till Feb it seems a bad idea to create new accounts at all. Even old and established ones tend to die at that time without any reasons.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

brutal time - many ppl trying

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Still have no idea whats new that is causing rapid suspensions, and yes its a brutal time, those that have Amazon suggest you move your eggs over.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Basically staying under the radar now is extremely important. Like using xLogin software with a proper config, very good IPs, no any kind of VPNs, hosting or whatever. Selling some 1 dollar crap for 3 months until reaching 25 sales. Then selling something a bit more expensive, to reach a turnover of 250 usd in the last 3 months. And only after that selling something bigger. Even this scenario causes suspensions in the beginning, but definitely not 100%, around 50% of accounts have good chances of getting through. At least this makes you through the initial few days when most of the bans happen.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Well an update for anyone who wants to know . I’ve tried many different things such as listing first item for £2 and even doing cheap auction style listings but everything just leads to a ban within 20 minutes .

The problem is not with IP, address , phone number or anything

I’ve tried from my laptop and phone but same result

There has to be a way . Are you telling me that regular people are not able to create eBay accounts and list like us aswell ?

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Been hearing this from everyone, its like they dont want new sellers. I had to shift efforts to Amazon at the moment, every single account as of newly created ends up dead. Been at this since 2000' like you said has to be a way around it

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

It doesn’t matter if are you are new seller, real seller , never sold on eBay , your account will get suspended.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I bought a new computer and said I'm going to create a regular account as a real person. As soon as I registered as a buyer I was suspended. I didn't understand. This is so crazy.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

sounds like something is causing the suspensions...

new people registering on eBay shouldn't be getting suspended even after selling 1 item

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

suspension as a buyer immediately is odd - list your steps of account creation for better discussion

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Yep, 100% they are.

My father made an account in his own name, own address that hes lived in for over 25 years. Never been another account under that address.

Banned on 1st listing.

Seems like they dont want new accounts at the moment.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I guess that they have some stats indicating that defect rate across new sellers is much higher, than across Top Rated ones. And handling every defect costs them a lot of money. To avoid a situation, when there is like 10x spike in defects because of new sellers trying to take advantage on Christmas sales, they are just banning everyone out and let established sellers to make them same profits, but with less defects.
So, I believe that this ban wave should end somewhere in February when eBay has resources again to control newcomers.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Sounds logical.
But now something has changed, but not all. Still need to wait till end of Feb !

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

There's no such thing as a ban wave, those selling accounts will probably attest to this.

It's all down to poor account creation process and/or management.

Since MP was introduced Ebay have upped their game, sellers need to as well.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I don’t necessary disagree with you however every time someone claims here “it’s all down to account creation” when approached privately, they clearly don’t know jack ****. Every person I have ever questioned in private , they all seem to be knowledgeable in a group but when it comes to practice , they are just as clueless as everyone else here. So instead of talking in absolutes , maybe you should say something like “ it could be possible their account creation might be incorrect ”

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Are you having some success now ?

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Well that does make sense . Should end soon

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I disagree , for the months before December/ January I was easily able to make new accounts without issue . But when these months came in everything changed and no matter what I tried for 2 Months it all failed.
However if this “wave “ which apparently should end soon doesn’t end soon they maybe eBay have changed , we shall see

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

is it banned or more they need to talk to you to confirm some things?

Big difference there

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Yes i have

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

There you go - slowly build from there

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

But still has some problems. Maybe Feb will work out this :)

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Good that it’s working for you , I’m still getting banned , this needs to end

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

It's not going to end, it's the new norm.

"Ban Waves" is a topic only discussed on stealth forums like this, visit any legitimate site and their own forums and it's not mentioned. Ebay do not cancel legitimate accounts, there is no such thing as a ban wave.

Given their decline in seller numbers they're not looking to simply ban new sellers, quite the opposite.

As I said above, instead of blaming ebay for wholesale blind banning of accounts, ask yourself what you're doing wrong. I can 100% guarantee that if I create an account today (UK) it will not get permanently banned. I guess it could be temporarily suspended pending further info but I'd be able to provide that but not outright banned on creation.


For those who believe ban waves do exist then decide when you think this is and don't waste valuable/legitimate info trying to create accounts during this period. Simples. :)

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

valid approach :)

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

This comment makes me want to throw a book. The ignorance and yes they will ban an real account. Ive used all new real information and all new items and location i can atest that this comment is pure filth.
