opening a new account after restriction
 

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

Re: opening a new account after restriction
 

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

it wasnt fraud, so in theory i should be ok then.

Re: opening a new account after restriction
 

What about seller permanent restriction? 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 hear you, but I'd err on the worse side so I'd not risk even using 1 bit of the same info if this was my account.

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.

Have any of your family members accounts gone down?

Re: opening a new account after restriction
 

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.

No I been on my good cousin account for 5 years and no issues whatsoever. The money does goes into his bank account only drawback lol. They ask for his ID after a while he does it. I'm not changing absolutely nothing on there. I'm not risking it. I'm confused on what I can change and can't. First getting his account it was a big problem he would logged in and after that I would log in and we are in two different states. eBay was not treating that lightly.

Re: opening a new account after restriction
 

why is your cousin logging into your Ebay account?
Is he selling as well?or just curious?

Re: opening a new account after restriction
 

The account being discussed is his cousin's agent - not his own.
