if it is not a problem with items or performance the only remaining issue I can think of is linkage between various accounts , you are not running them from the same computer on different users , are you?

Something isn't right here, you're leaving out info. If you've used that account for 3-4 years, how is it possible there is 807 total feedback and 106 positive within the last 30 days??

That ratio is a red flag. For you to get 106 feedback that quickly means you had to of sold a tremendous amount of goods relative to prior history, OR you a buying cheap items to boost your feedback score.

Did you get mc011 after this 5 day review? It was because you increased your sales so eBay just wanted to do a quick review of your account.

If they ask for mc011 they probably saw all your stock your selling and want to know where it’s being sourced.

his screenshots show 677 items sold within 3 months and 1577 sold within 12 months

this means that 43% of annual volume were sold in the last 3 months , if the other 57% were sold evenly with about 19% per quarter this would mean that his sales volume more than doubled in the last 3 months which is a frequent reason for reviews

another question is what exactly he was selling , if he started selling a different type of items suddenly in relation to previous selling history that be a reason for suspension

A local accountant told me in the early days of listing AMZN listings on EBay and making AMZN to do the work,one of his clients made 22 cents per order and ended up with $22k per month,for the year,she made $220K
At first I dont believe him,but he said he is her accountant and did her tax return.
So back in the early days,you can use a software to list your AMZN listings on Ebay,constantly update these listings when they are out of stock ,price change on AMZN and adjust your listings accordingly.
Such software is no longer allowed on Ebay.

another reason for suspension might be the tracking numbers , he is probably selling the same stuff on all his accounts shipping it from the same location in a different state , all tracking numbers display the zip code so that his accounts could have been linked , especially if he listed identical items on various accounts

It has to be more than how many orders she gets,it is what she sells and someone could have reported her.

Volume itself can be a trigger, not just amounts. I said it before but it is worth saying again, my strongest account on eBay was built under the most organic process I've had since I started with eBay. That is because I had so many accounts when I first started many years ago, and eventually most got suspended by my own mistakes and ignorance with stealth. Then I had one left, and that ended up being my main account over time but my sales curve line was very even. I did not intentionally do that, it just happened, which was organic, which is what eBay expects an account to have.

Sales spiking is the most obvious red flag.

You cannot be greedy selling on eBay anymore, if sales spike you've got to put your account in vacation mode or you are risking suspension.

ALSO if one usually sells low price items and then all of a sudden starts selling high ticket ones ,like designer handbag,cell phone ,precious metal jewelry.

you do not need to stop selling after a spike but just reduce volume

if you get a review you must reduce volume as a review is an indication of too high turnover and too many sales

you can increase it though over time but not at a 50% per month rate unless you are on a very low volume where for example $100 or $200 per month do not make any difference

$3000 per month is a lot of money though , it is enough to get kicked out of ebay

Yeah but how do you control that? If it is ending listings I guess that is an option however it's a lot more time consuming and some listings are better to keep active if they have sales because those produce more sales overtime.

My last account that got suspended I speak from experience with this same problem. I guess I have mastered things outside of eBay so much so that when I do try on new accounts my sales come extremely fast. I had to put my account on vacation mode many times. Though when I would go back live I'd get $800+ days, only need a few of those to really impact your monthly total which ends up in a red flag scenario.

The next account I plan to use I'm just going to reduce my items listed, and make sure I do not exceed $1000 in the first 3 months, and keep a 10% increase as the months follow. If ever my account is at risk of exceeding it I'll put it in vacation. That is the only control one has to reduce risk completely, or you just end all your listings but why do that? Vacation mode is a better solution.

Basically for me I cannot view eBay as a stream of income for the first 6 months, which sucks but thats how I am going to use it. Then come holiday seasons my hope is to average out around $5k, then next year at most do $10k per month. I used to push $20k+ when I only sold on eBay but nowadays I don't think that is smart, and I'd rather just keep things safe and be happy with 10k per month.

It is really hard to stop sales coming in once they do, for me at least.

[murdered_by_ebay]

if you have items where you know how much they can make or control quantity listed , going down to zero damages the selling history in case you want to start volumes later

If so,Ebay knows them.
Ebay does not like retail arbitrage,buying from another retailer and selling them on another retail site,but if your CA location is just a warehouse where you stock your goods,thats not a retailer to retailer.
or it could be your wholesaler/distributor

It is just the warehouse, and the fee is lower, that is the reason, so I want to confirm if i should list my real item location, not the regestered one on ebay file.

totally not the same computer, what i cannot understand is that other's accounts get MC011 directly, why mine is holding for 5 days review, don't know what they are reviewing.

I use the accounts when others been restricted, so if i have enough accounts, i will just make small quanity orders to maintan accounts, that is why the feedbacks are not that more then you thought, and I can tell you that I have feedback more than 2000 and have the same situation with this account.

if you mean large sales, that I can tell ,yes, last year is more than the year of 2022. so ebay will check date by year?

yes, I get mc011 after this 5 day review, but don't know how to know the sale's increased time period? for example this year than last year? this month than last month? I have one account don't have sales for 3 months, and got this review then MC011.and another account regetered in 2019 and never have sales, also got 5 days review and then suspended.

thanks for your explanation, i think it is about orders in period more than before, not different items, i only sell one kind.

I totally don't use software and all my items are about USD15 items, all are normal sales.

I suddenly remember one thing about the shipping i changed, don't know if this matters, i always use USPS first class and priority mail to ship my items, but since last November, I used USPS GA, because this is cheaper,but the delivery time is around 2-3 days more than before.

should i put my account on vacation mode when I don't want it to sell too much? for example just to maintain the account in normal status, not ask for sales. Because I have other accounts for main sales.

Yeah this is spot on the sudden increase gave him the performance holds but normally this is reviewed and wiped away sometimes in 24hrs but to then get MC011 after the 5 day review eBay clearly doesn’t like something after the 5 day review as this is when they ask for, ID, proof of address, and invoices.

He said he changed shipping any change from shipping your using to shipping time your posting items out to change of items your selling all cause this to happen.

Yes, for the record my last account on eBay a year ago had about $1000 the first month, $2000 the second month, and $3000+ the third month which resulted in a periodic review = suspension. I'll be the first to admit the stupidity of doing it. Just a few higher ticket sales of $200 along with a bunch of lower price items was what I had. It does work great long term, but not on a brand new account. Low priced items help saturate the metrics in the event you get hit with a few bad customers. Also boosts feedback.

The most I got out of the process with the suspension was they thought I had another account. I didn't try to fix it, and they didn't even allow me to send docs it was a indefinite suspension. It wasn't even that I purposely took advantage of the account, I put my store on vacation mode multiple times each month its just I had enough days where it was $500+ that hurt me.
