Nice experience in time hmm

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

Yes it seems they update limits probably after doing a few checks on your info...

Another uk account I opened also with low limits, updated to the same limits 1000 items and 40k pound

Also same info...same payoneer account

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

So there is no limit as to the amount of accounts one person can have

What will happen though if they are all linked is the selling limits can be shared across the account. This used to happen all the time on eBay - it happens less often now but it does still happen

Another issue you will face is if one account has an issue all the other accounts that that account is linked to can also have issues

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

For OP I forgot to give you my advice, if you are looking for longevity and getting the most out of your "PII" then start slow, one account at a time and modestly and slowly ramp up your listings as recommended here in the forums.

When and if you run into issues, you can go boot up the backup accounts you have made, etc

Just one account, made 35k profit, about 22k revenue over about -5 months until I started got alot of attention from budding competitors, threatening messages like "Been watching your shop, sir..bla bla" and Im sure my demise was hastened by angry competing shops.

Average was about 5-10 orders per week.

There has been a huge influx of sub-standard shops on Etsy thanks to youtube videos promoting the dropshipping and AI-digital product routes..which are saturated and high-risk..too many sellers disappointing Etsy shoppers, so the new algorithm/AI machine they launched is ruthless.

Of course I sell high value items and that carries its own risks. :bounce:

Lot of stiff competition in your niche eh

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?

There's always a lot of stiff competition in the viagra business

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

So you could have 20 accounts in your own details, and ebay would have no issue with this?

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

are you actively selling on every account?

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

In theory....probably. If issues come up on one account though they will probably come up on all accounts.

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

The link could lead to issues - possibly, just something to be aware of

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

Technically yes, but I'd also be cautious because it's not that simple.

I'd say read around the forums more to see other people's experiences and troubles for doing this

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

I don't think this is true. I have spoke with the merchant support trying to fix an account that got suspended. He literally while on the phone searched my account from 2022 and linked me. Because I felt I needed that account, which I did not, I played his game by answering the database questions. I know better not to do that, and maybe that is needed but if you have a suspended account, you're linked via SSN. Whether or not they take time to search is another story.

The longer you wait in between suspensions better chance you have in it not being a problem but the idea they cannot find an account isn't true for USA.

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

Are you talking about a business account with an LLC?

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

Yes, single member LLC however my LLC is owned by a parent company. I am sure it differs for countries.

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

So your telling me that, if you have multiple LLC based ebay account, as you being the primary account holder, ebay has linked all those accounts together, did I get that right?

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

Every account has to have a beneficiary, I think you know that. It is not that the business accounts are the same it is the personal details like my name and SSN. I try to change the address, and name slightly but SSN is enough for anyone if they wanted too.

I don't think regular trust & safety checks this, if they did that with every account who has the time. But lets say you get restricted and someone suspected you for having another account, if they wanted too, they could find it. That's all I know as fact. At least for American accounts.

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

Im hoping for this as well. Both ebay and etsy are being bitches to me currently.

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

you have multiple accounts going?

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

I understand your point that they could find it, but do you have experience where they actually try to suspend it?

Let me tell you what im thinking. If you have multiple businesses, and almost everything is different except for the SSN, name and DOB, would they have enough confidence to auto ban the other accounts? From what I know, its not the case.

They group attributes, and depending on how many attributes are grouped, thats when auto ban happens

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

This is the part I do not know for certain. It would have to be where you already got the MC099 for a different reason, then they would find this while reviewing your account. I am not implying I think they have built in the algorithms to detect matching SSN rather it is an ability they have to search in the database manually.

For reference, the account I had was already suspended. So maybe not a great example but it was an account I had from 2010, I paid the past due balance and started selling however it was linked to other accounts that got suspended around that time. I remember calling explaining to them I had no other accounts on eBay. This was with merchant support, and I was trying to get him to tell me what the accounts names were that were linked. What he did was tell me he would search but I needed to answer database questions, I did, and that is when he matched my information with an account from 2022. However this was not the original account linked that caused my restriction, it was other dormant accounts from 2010.

But once he linked me with 2022 account I was screwed either way so I gave up. It would be impossible to fix it at that point.

Re: How many account from 1 persons legit information?
 

I fully agree with what you’re saying. Now what was the link, did he link you with SSN, name or address. If you are linked with an account that got MC099, that is not good news, any other account that isn’t suspended is much more acceptable.

Hey bro, send me a message. Let’s have a convo about account creation, and scale. I looked thru your posts and I agree with a lot of the things you say.
