Sorry but this part was totally unnecessary in the first place. You could have saved yourself some decent $$ here.

What was their reason for banning you? Were the 3 accounts that you made being used with the same info and stuff as each other?

i got the new computer because my old one stopped working. I didn't get it just for ebay...lol. They banned me for "abusing ebay"

It's because you listed iphones. Iphones are considered high risk items and I would not recommend selling them on first time accounts until you build up feedback.

Burning,

I believe you're right. I tried listing 5 of them but i had them spread out.

My copy of this book has nothing about selling iphones on brand news accounts.
Maybe.... I'm sorry this happened,Romeo. With these items you are at risk even with a seasoned account.

Time to start again

WOW Iphones are that bad?? I don't get it. Why are they high risk? What's the scam being ran??

Ghost · #12 04-21-2010

All high-end electronics are "high risk" according to eBay and Paypal. Just because they said so.

**aspkin** · #13 04-21-2010

Anything popular has a high amount of fraud associated with it, thus it's high risk.

High risk items are watched carefully by eBay. They tag sellers if they list too many high risk items. So listing five iPhones in a day may not sound like a big deal.. but to eBay it is.. and depending on many factors you may be shut down. So instead you want to spread out your risk, take your time and build up your accounts first.

You mean anything popular, or just anything popular and expensive?

GreenBean · #15 04-22-2010

@Ghost, depends on ebay on the day the account gets 'caught'.
