Try a different device.

Don't know what it is but my s24 seems to get hit with more reactivate or verify identity requests than my Iphone 11.

used or new watches,plenty of counterfeits out there,Rolex has a lawyer who would send you an email.

I just created an account and had captcha but didn’t request SSN. Just name, address, and confirm phone number. Which is odd because usually they ask for your last 4 digits of the SSN before the auction listing goes live.

I didn't realise captchas can view browser history outside ebay. So it would be best to view other websites outside ebay and search for some items on search engines, as well as ebay browsing for a few weeks before creating an account?

In these cases, the best thing is to continue selling and understanding how the system works now and continue selling, not stop learning and asking questions.

interesting point about captcha and other sites...hmm sharing of some browsing cookies are possible, etc

Actually this captcha request kind of rings true for Poshmark. When I get hit with it when creating an account and making a listing, they ghost the account with the listing removed.

When I don't get hit with captcha, account sells fine.

It's not even just on eBay. These AI bots have been messing it up on other platforms as well.

Mercari, Etsy, Poshmark.

Listing removals, BS account closures. None of it having to do with logical reasons.

[SaiJin]

I have to concur, the AI bots are rampant.

So far the best way is to make new accounts, but also prepare the docs and papers that'll be needed later on.

Basically assume you'll get these reactivation crap
