Ebay now bans entire countries

[wondering mouse]

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?

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

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