Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

you don't because they will never tell you

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I think I can split the opinions here with a fair suggestion. Mc999 is a very large term to umbrella why they banned an account. Whether that be: can't confirm identity, patterned rule breaks, risk management of listed inventory, etc.

I have experienced both.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

this topic is solely on welcome suspensions

these are not related to failed MP verification

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Of course it is a general term BUT I am talking about MC999 at the early stages. I am not talking about receiving MC999 6 month later. If you received MC999 at the very early stage after account creation then it means eBay was not able to verify your identity, they linked your account (s) to another suspended account or they they were able to identify falsification/tempering in your documents.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

do not spread false info here , there is abundant proof that people using completely clean details get mass suspended

even people who already have an established ebay account have problems to open a second one as they get suspended immediately

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

You are the one spreading false information. People who claim they use real info are using stolen dubious information and then claim it is completely clean because they assume buying DL SSN PASS on the dark web means it hasnt been reported as compromised. You dont think they have a central database where these very docs are being reported in mass as compromised? You dont know anything. Sit the F down U RAT!

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I mean clean info , not stolen info. this includes people using their own details , also people who never had any relation to ebay in the past with completely clean details

you are the rat here , go crawl back into the hole you came out from and stop spreading lies here

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I have access to a decent number of legitimate ID's. I'm currently running 6 eBay accounts, 5 business, 1 personal. I do not sell dodgy gear although I will admit I have lost a some in the past due to me pushing the boundaries of legitimacy.

I have never had any issues in creating these account. Not one.

The suggestion that there are 'ban waves' is, in my opinion, forum Chinese whispers, gossip and misplaced assumption based upon stealth failures.

If you've opened a legitimate account recently then you'll know eBay are all over you trying to get you up and running, selling and anything else they can do to further the account. My most recent, opened on 30th December already has a 1,890 / £25,000 limit without even asking.

IMO the suggestion that eBay don't need new sellers is ridiculous, AI and their existing systems/procedures can manage whatever is thrown at them.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

6 accounts are a large number , how much time did you spend creating them? you should definitely let the aspkin admins know that ebay uk account opening is easy again as they lost all their account sellers due to suspension waves

and the TO is likely stupid losing dozens of accounts

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Ok Ok, ! Calm down you both.

No need to call each other names.

I was actually enjoying the 2 sides of the story until this page.

Let's keep the debate civil so we can find some common ground eh?

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Mass suspensions do exist historically, spring and summer are the best times to sow your seeds. Ban wave can start from October through till about March. That's not to say that you cannot make successful accounts during this time, but it just seems to be harder. And you might find that your accounts get wiped out in one fell swoop.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

EXACTLY! I speak from experience and careful observation. If what you are using is truly legit , not stolen and belongs to you, you won't have any issues with verification. Therefore you will have much better chance to survive on eBay without receiving MC999. Once you passed verification stage , if you dont violate policies , dont have sudden spike in sale or a bunch of chargebacks/INRs, you wont have any issues. Why? Because you won't trigger the algorithm to flag your account. Anytime eBay sees inconsistencies the alarm bells are up. Reminds me of this old game " Little Big Adventure", if you know you know.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Hahaha I called him RAT as a joke. I dunno why but it made me laugh so much LOLOL!

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Either way, back to topic.

I'm curious as to who is right in this case, you or him.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Frankly I dont care lol. This isnt a D measuring contest for me. Those who know , they know. Those who resist to adapt to constant changes will be left behind. You cant teach an old dog new tricks applies to them.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

6 accounts is not a large number! Takes about 15 minutes or so to create an account and you aught to know this, but I did have all anticipated questions and documents ready - because I know what I'm doing.

Not sure why you think I should let the admins know I'm creating accounts. In any event, you're missing the point. I'm creating legitimate accounts with legitimate and verifiable detail including a bank account in the account holders name. They're not opening accounts 'again' as you claim, they never stopped opening legitimate accounts and has always been 'easy'.

The sellers here had two major issues, firstly they were useless at creating accounts and secondly they were using fictitious and/or stolen details which they knew fine well would never be verifiable. It's got nothing to do with a 'ban wave' as you claim, they were 'approved sellers' and should know new account requirements and how they system works if such a policy exists.

I'm sure you know this but I suspect you were simply trying to be facetious.


no idea what this is supposed to mean sorry.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I tried this exact process , even used an anti detect browser too. Listed an auction as suggested today and was banned not even 5 mins after . I did login from my safari on my phone once but no way eBay’s tracking can be tha advanced.
I don’t know what else it could be

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

damn , I am stupid. I will be waiting for new account sellers on the marketplace , I am sure we will be back to normal soon after all these years. it is so much easier than doing it myself

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Anti-detect browser - which one?

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Did you do the process once WHILE using an anti detect browser?
I never told you to use an anti detect.... I never use one myself.

And I never told you to login from your phone either.... I said. dedicated laptop

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Go login is the one i used

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

The whole process was done while using an anti detect browser and residential ip . I used the anti detect just as extra .
I logged in from my phone by accident
I have another account I made at the same time as this one but have not logged in on my phone only the anti detect . But I don’t know what to do differently on it to not get banned on first listing .

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

It really pains me to see people with a British flag on their profile say that they are using residentail IP? Unless are outside of your country and trying to make accounts then these people have been brainwashed by those promoting residentail IP

Tether with your phone, or if you must use mobile proxees

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Ok then if the issue ain’t ip and mobile hotpot can be used , what is the reason for all the suspensions , what could it logically be .

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

smart people already gave the answer above , you use personal details that can be verified and you will not be suspended. let know how it works out

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

See SaiJin's comment above - I wouldn't use an anti-detect browser...platforms can pick up on this.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

The reason mobile IP's are good is because many many people use mobile IP to open Ebay accounts so the behaviour looks normal.

People seem to forget the basics of stealht. I'm pretty sure that when you first started using ebay back in the day that you didn't try to open a seller account the first time you visited the site. You surely clicked around the site for a while, you saw something you were interested and added to your basket, maybe you clicked help pages about how to create an account etc etc.

Nobody is going to spoon feed people here, we all hard to learn the hard way.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Lot of questions still remain to discuss - what kind of items were you selling for one?

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I posted a low risk item , all I posted was a black unbranded backpack in one account that I had and the other was a clothes hanger .

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I know many people trust anti-detect here, but I am just not sold on it. Far too many things can go wrong with coding and cookies. Ebay has always been a cookie sniffer and always will be. I'd personally refrain from anti's and use classic partitions.

As for the hotspot debate, it may be fine. But you can't tell me that massive abuse from that type of connection wouldn't alert a bot. This falls right in line with the days of using a VOIP for phone numbers. Residential IPs are proven as a hard point of existence and can be made fresh. Not just some random reused generated hotspot IP. They do recycle them and it could be potentially flagged in the UK database and range of possible IPs.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I'd say a lot of ppl don't trust anti-detect here but you're right about the detection

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

does the static ip location have to match or be close to where the person that the ebay stealth account lives???

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Basically I have had success as long as IP matches the country of registration...

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I created a UK eBay business account under a ltd. I was using DLCLOAK so I had a separate browser with a separate MAC address, fresh clean 0 fraud score UK proxy, Barclays Business bank, registered service address the whole 9 yards. Yet 2 hours after listing an item I get MC999'd. Same story for 2 of my US LLC's too. I do not understand how the hell you are supposed to create new accounts?! I am just wasting money constantly registering new companies. Luckily I have 2 other old accounts that are established paying for it all.

Does anyone have any tips on how to successfully list the first item without MC999. I get the "Reactivate your account" email every single time too, but always get that sorted with a phone call.

Anyways, apparently if you stay persistent calling them up you can get them to verify your identity and eventually reinstate you, especially if its MC999 in the early stages

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Any account they re-instate after an MC999 will ask for ID documents later on down the line, that is my experience. Still testing strategies.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

That’s completely fine for me I can provide ID documents, I can never get to that stage though I could only wish they asked me for documents!

Hopefully today when I call they do that.

How are you doing it? ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details then real later? Or setting up as a new company each time?

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

RIP called 4 different agents all said same thing. **** sake.

Can I try reusing the same LTD on an aged 4 year old buyer account?

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

Use a sole prop (single owner, no LLC) with a US EIN. When asked to verify, you will only need to provide your EIN creation letter. May save you quite a few pounds on creating companies.

Edit- It seems to be legal with the IRS to be a uk citizen and still grab an EIN. Maybe more of a hassle comes tax time, but it's an outlet that works here in the States.

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

To get a non citizen EIN number, you need to register an LLC though no?

Re: How are you guys making new uk accounts ?
 

I have registered for EIN with my Canadian business without needing the LLC - I am fairly sure this applies for all non-US citizens
