Help with Ebay account
 

Good day everyone.
This is my first post but believe you me I have done lots and lots of reading.

This is my problem:

I was on ebay from 2005 till now when I got suspended for selling items that were not promitted on ebay. I was close to 200 + possitive feedbacks. I have tried to start up a new account using new email address, someone else name, different phone # and even did the IP reset thru the modem and router by unpluging and even tried IPCONFIG to reset. But no luck they suspended me again when I listed a couple of items..I even re-registered on a friends computer and still no luck....

Can anyone help me in what direction I should be going....

Thanks

why were you suspended the 2nd and 3rd time? If you werent linked, your best bet is to try to reinstate your account fill out this form and submit all required info. chances are they will reinstate you without a problem.

this what they said:" We're writing to tell you that we have suspended your eBay account because our records indicate that it's associated with the following suspended account" how do they no that????

You're clearing your cookies all the time, right?

Also, never use the same passwords for eBay or Paypal. They will link you with that.

i have empty the cookies. And tried using a new password.

This is what they said in the email they sent me:

"We're writing to tell you that we have suspended your eBay account because our records indicate that it's associated with the following suspended account:


***About the eBay Previously Suspended Users Policy***
Unfortunately, while your account is suspended, you're not permitted to use eBay at all. This includes using another existing account, registering a new account, or using any eBay services -- under any name.

Yeah, they always say that..

Whenever you change the IPs, are you keeping track of which IPs to use for each account? It's possible you just landed on another one that you had used before, even though you keep changing it.

thanks for the reply.....What about when I re-registered on a friends computer it would of regonized is IP address on registration. But when i open the account on my computer would it pick up my IP address ? and when they put 2 and 2 together and suspened me again.

Yes, to be safe you would have had to use your friend's computer (or any other IP you haven't used) each time you log into the account. If you log in to your account with ANY IP that has been blacklisted by eBay before .. even once .. it's game over.

ok thanks
Maybe Im doing something wrong when I say I reset my IP address. This what I do : unplug the power source for 30-60 seconds and plug it back in. and then I Go to Start -- Run -- type in "cmd " a black prompt screen will pop up. I type in "ipconfig /release" . Once this is done I unplug the modem power source, wait a couple minutes and plug it back in. will this be good enought. Cause I also unplug the router and plug it back in. Is there anywhere you can go on the computer to see the IP address before and after the change is done????

Go to IP Chicken - Whats my IP address? ip address lookup or IP Burger - What is my IP Address? Find Your IP Address! It will show you your IP address.

Thanks for the Ip address link.....Going to check it out
Thanks again

I like Geobytes Home Page It gives a little bit more detail

I just tried to reset my Ip address but it did not change....So that would be my problem......Cause when I check the before and after it shows the same ip address. so when I re registered with ebay my ip was never changed...

Its really nice that for once the poor person asking for advice wasnt reamed for not reading all 30,000 posts! wow if people help each other things can have great results.

I totally Agree, Dakrei :))

Thanks guys for all your help.....

I agree too but sometimes the poor person has to help himself..

Ever heard the saying.."Give a man a fish he eats for 1 day, teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime.."

if you change your ip# but use the same name and phone# as before are they able to tell....

Find your router/modem model here to find how to get into the interface.

Some cable modems do not have an user interface though. Once you find how to access your modem interface, go to the Home network section, you are looking for the LAN DHCP Settings. Go to the lease time option and change it to 11 seconds, instead of 1 day. Click save changes. Wait 11 seconds then unplug you r modem, or if you know your user and password. Go to the login section and disconnect, wait at least 11 seconds then reconnect.
If all else fails, use SMAC 2.0 to spoof you MAC address and this should get you new ip address, unless your internet provider is suppling you a static ip. Most IPS charge extra for giving you a static ip instead of dynamic one.

whats the difference between ip address and mac ip address???:confused:
thanks

mac address ids your network card address(the card that u plug ur DSl or cable Ethernet cord into), your Ip address is the address of your cable or dsl modem...
