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

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

ddone99 · #60 01-26-2023

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

Camaro2SS · #61 01-28-2023

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

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.

Beautiful · #63 01-29-2023

sounds like something is causing the suspensions...

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

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

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.

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.
