Hi all
so my ebay was restricted, its past the 6 months and i have changed all the details on the account, but im sure they have the name and details anyway... im planning on opening a new account and am happy to do a business account, but am i good to use the same name under a different address? i plan on using a mobile phone and a sim card, no wifi, how likely is this to not get banned?

As far as I understand from the research I have done, they cannot link you by name or DOB alone. If I am wrong I am sure someone will chime in and correct me

ebay do not care whether you were restricted unless there were significant problems like fraud
in the vast majority of cases you can register again under same details and you can register multiple accounts too
ebay is not amazon , on amazon you would have to be concerned about this unless you are a serial scammer who is targeted by the system but suspensions for performance , high risk or just random suspensions by bots do not have much meaning to ebay

Can still buy but they perm restricted seller account for counterfeit violations, even though they were unbranded. lost the appeal, can i still use same details you think?

I wouldn't be quite as categorical as some people. With an eBay EU business account, they ask for your full name and date of birth, and then require you to submit supporting documents. If you open an account using the same details as a previously blocked account, you run the risk of shipping orders only to have your account blocked overnight—with very little chance of recovering your money. Maybe it is different on eBay US/UK/AU
If you decide to go ahead with it anyway, try making one or two sales and waiting for the funds to be released before you start selling in earnest.

You can use the same name, DOB (doesn't matter) and fresh address, but you understand if you get hit with an ID verification (which will 99% happen with time) you cannot submit your ID, if you were banned off eBay you will need to use stealth IDs anyways, so it's good measure to use different name/details regardless.

He is using his cousin account to sell,the account is linked to his cousin bank account.
My question is why is his cousin logging into that account?is he selling as well or he just curious to find out if any item sold and money will soon be deposited into his bank account.
His cousin would be getting 1099K from Ebay,one copy will go to IRS,he would need to explain he is selling for his cousin and not liable for income tax on his income tax return.
Is he being compensated for letting you use his Ebay account and bank account?
'I'm confused on what I can change and can't.
what would you like to change???

Pay his taxes etc - his credit history is probably benefitting as well so...

Temporary restrictions: These may be automatically lifted due to issues such as identity verification, seller performance, or payment problems.

Early in their sales journey, any account can be permanently suspended with the explanation that it's a risk to the community and support won't be able to help. One rule: multiple stable accounts at the same time, so you can be interchangeable if something happens.

Could you tell me whether using the guide gives you a 100 percent chance of creating an account, or is it just good reading with useful information? I’m looking for knowledge.
