Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

No, nothing !

How to manipulate the fingerprints? which browser are you using?

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

interesting - possible system change/downgrade security

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

this is the same problem that leads to mass item removals in the time around christmas , they just have a spike in activity which they manage through computers

when the spike goes down the system remains in place but the scale goes down

You need to watch less fantasy movies !!

Seems like you know more than ebay

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

it is not a fantasy , towards the end of the year they always become stricter , for example removing more items for copyright problems

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Im not talking about items, but about accounts.

Explain why i can list now what i want but from nov - feb i even can not normaly create account ??

Its not ban wave ???????

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Increased activity on eBay platform due to new year etc.
Also I noticed that they increase suspend ratio when they have some major update or system change

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Does anybody else get the "reactivate your ebay account" message? I've called in and they asked the usual questions of what I'm selling how I will ship etc but then they suspend the account.

I don't think there's an error in creation as that would suspend the account automatically, I'm wondering whether browser fingerprinting is an issue as these accounts I create on mac laptop go down but the one on Windows laptop is so far ok.

I'm perplexed, any one have any ideas?

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Its a security question future i called and they uped my limit?

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I’ve been getting that on some accounts aswell . Imo once you get that message it’s best to ditch the account as it will not survive long after as I have seen .
But what you bring about the mac is interesting because I also use a Mac to create my accounts.

the noose is usually tightened across the board in the time around christmas but it does not disappear after christmas just waiting until it is tightened again

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

I mentioned this before, its a hardware fingerprint now. U can change browser fingerprints using the same hw and most time when u make too many accounts too quickly from the same hw they all get nuked.

If you got a few phones laptops and using them in random order the success rate is much higher... but they can still finish you off on repetition patterns. 5 accounts created in 2 hours from a similar geo location based on your isp/4g using different hw is possible. 20 created in 1 hour won't roll well with ebay. Yes somebody tried telling me millions of people living in the same city so it doesn't work like that. Well in a perfect world it doesn't but in ebay hell it does.. now. Some genius at eBay or perhaps even a ai self learning rule decided that X amount of accounts made with Y amount of similarities in Z frame of time are all unfriendly bots and burned.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

it is a known fact that ebay suspend if too many accounts were made within a short period of time. it might seem to you that there are millions of people living in the same city but in fact a very limited number of new accounts are opened on ebay so that opening many accounts within a short span attracts attention

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

yesterday i registered to ebay , was banned less then an 1ht later.
as a BUYER ACCOUNT

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

That's very strange and possibly something is tripping the bots, ebay don't usually check buyer accounts, only once you list something then the verification process starts amd that's across private sellers as well as business accounts.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

It means there was too many accounts created too quick with similarities to your account. You are collateral damage

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

time of creation is indeed an issue , there are times when there are waves of new accounts so they just suspend everyone , they really don't care much , you just open up again

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Utter rubbish. If everyone who tried to create an account was permanently suspended there'd be mountains of articles about it.

To say they 'really don't care much' is ridiculous, what planet are you living on, they're trying to attract sellers to run a profitable business.

Sometime I think you live in a dreamland with the amount of unproven gibberish you post.

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

it is a proven fact that ebay do mass suspensions of new accounts , the times when they tried to attract sellers have been over for a long time , the vast majority of new accounts get suspension or restriction. in time when very many accounts are opened they just suspend in waves , literally everyone

Re: Jan ban wave ??
 

Proven fact...then show us the proof.

You can't, you simply prattle on with your conspiracy theories with some misplaced idea you know what ebay are doing. You don't.

Not that you would allow yourself to believe me, but I'm going to be creating a new account pretty soon with unused legitimate details. I know it won't be suspended and why should it be?

Makes a mockery of the account sellers here if everyone gets suspended. Are you calling them liars when they say they have fresh accounts for sale?
