Ebay now bans entire countries
 

Short story. I've been trying to open an account on several occasions for the past days on behalf of few different persons, and Ebay won't even register the account after sending the sms code (which I've inputted and was accepted). I use clean new numbers, new ips, new devices even etc etc. (no vpns)

Message I'm getting
"We're unable to register an account at this time. please try again later"

This lasts for days now, and I suspect much longer than that. Trying to register directly with email results in getting the same message from above.

Saw same posts on Reddit from members having exactly the same issue from several different countries.

Does anyone have any insight?

what countries?

Re: Ebay now bans entire countries
 

could be that certain countries are considered high risk , ebay does almost 100% of business in just a few countries so that any others are secondary

if this continues wait until the summer ends , during the summer peak season there is less activity hence you attract more attention

Try opening an account through Google Mail; I'm sure it'll be easier.
Some countries may be more risky. You'll need to test different ones.

Doesn't work either. I've mentioned it. Getting the same message after the second step which is phone verification after inputting the sms code.

It's very strange. Try changing your mobile phone operator and registering through the app on your smartphone:coffee:

Try registering on a phone with mobile data enabled, NOT WIFI.

The flag you're flying isn't on the list of supported countries..

Thanks brother. I'll try and let everyone know.

Re: Ebay now bans entire countries
 

what do you mean by "everyone" ?

Re: Ebay now bans entire countries
 

You've been making accounts for 15 years registered to a non supported country?

Re: Ebay now bans entire countries
 

The country is open for buying and selling for more than decade. Maybe even two.

I don't know anything about geopolitics where you are.. I just noticed that Macedonia isn't on the list of supported countries (only North Macedonia). :noidea:

The OP's flag is North Macedonia - just saying so...it should be supported.
