Buying on eBay after suspended?

[wizardhat]

My main eBay account got suspended for selling used cell phones on eBay =/. I miss buying on eBay there is a lot of very good deals on there. Am I allowed to create a buyers account and start buying stuff off eBay again without selling? I will be using a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name but using the same physical address that my main account got banned on.

hell no bro. Same address will surely get you banned..but maybe you can get away with a few buys before they suspend you?

If your going to open a "Buying" account only, use a family member address but ONLY if your using it to buy.

Do you think a PO box will be fine?

Hello, I have a buying account too and i'm running on banned address, but it's a variation been good so far, the main thing is you need to the first address of the line slightly same with the post code at the end. ( been running for 6/7 months now no problem at all!!)

Experiment i say, you have nothing to lose really - and yes run under a different name completely.

PO address is also another option but normally your not covered buyer protection for po box in the UK anyway not sure about where you live but i would imagine it's the same.

Good luck give address variation a go! theres always way around it - i was in your position couple months ago missing out on deals too :(.

That will be a excellent and sensible choice.

Your aim is to not be linked to aything suspended.

The PO box will save the worry of being caught. :D

PO Box will work.

Maybe change up the name a bit and make sure your card you fill out at the PO matches the name on the buyers account.

Ex:

John D. Smith

Jon Smith

J. Don Smith

Depends on how picky your PO is as well.

I have over 5 accounts registered to the same address for buying only because main account at address is suspended. Of course on each account I get I need to verify with a credit or bank debit card the address on file after a few purchases so I just create another one with no problems.

PO Box will work. And if your PO Box gets blacklisted you can always do this:

Box 411
PB 411
PBox 411

Its the same thing and the Post Office will recognize the number.
In addition, you won't be flagged for using the same box number.
