oh dear!! Thats not fair condidering u purchased the account.

You're going to have to call. Have all your information ready for when they start firing questions at you. If you don't call within 48 hrs the account is automatically closed.

No rhyme or reason why this happens, but I'm going to guess too many listing too soon. Personally, I'd have several other accounts ready to go.

Good luck.

Gotta call. No way around that

You listed way too fast.

For the future, list one item then get the feedback, list more once they establish that you are shipping out your item and all is well with your client base.

They are going to want to get your information.

Not necessarily true - sometimes listing too fast will bring you down. Buying the account still means you have to go slow and steady.

Called - Failed Questions - Require Bill & ID.. Bill Ready.. ID... Well... Waiting lol

Pm me......

Questions.
 

Just for my own knowledge. What type of info do they ask when you called? Its been a while since ive had to do that with my real account..im in process of making new account now and want to be ready for info.

This happened to me and I called and it didn't matter I had all my info. Ready and they closed my account because they couldn't confirm where I was? Stupid

here are some things that you can sell next time so they don't shut down your acc. sell stuff that a good price like 9.99 with free shipping. if you don't have any-items to sell just pick up something at the store for a good price and try to sell it. sometimes you will have to lose money b4 you make money that's what i do on my new acc and it works all the time. don't sell brander items sell non brander items i hope this helps. ebat is geting really bad know the MC999 are going left and right. good luck

when should you actually start listing the items you want to sell to avoid mc999

I let mine sit for 2-3 weeks.

I do a lot of looking and adding to watchlist during that time.

Then list 1.

Day later list 1 more.

etc

PITA but they are really going after new accounts.

What is the fb on the account? Is it buyer or seller?

You rushed into high category items too soon.

MADE 3 accounts yesterday . 1 instant suspension... no rhyme or reason.. other mc999 i called in, failed questions/guessed but i was very friendly with the CS and played good actor about many things. She went on hold after 2nd set of questions and lifted the restriction.

Other... no mc999 listed a random auction and it ended, not going into any further details.

So 1 of 3 no problems. 1 instant ban? dunno why, i asked why.. waiting

And 3rd, i socialized with the young woman on the phone and got it lifted.


All in all 2 out of 3 is good. I'm happy.

The 3 accounts started selling right away?

some people don't understand stealth.

rsot, i use a different stealth method that previously allowed me to sell immediately. I just made another last night and listed a dog leash... but with a brand name in it.. eg.. coach and i was insta-banned. My stealth method has been flawless in posting auctions immediately with 0 feedback. This is now not working, I guess my next step is to buy some feedback and then list a cheap item. It seems like this has been super difficult since the last time i made stealths.

It depends on what you sell. Plus if they had a rash of 0 feedback sellers going over board selling high vero in your category with lots of complaints I find Ebay comes down hard with those items for a while.
The key is lots of complaints. If you find a place where there are low complaints, you've struck gold...for a while.

I wouldn't ever sell vero on a 0 feedback. I try to get 10-15 buying feedback and then sell. But, like i said with my method i was getting away with that.

They key is "was" . might go back to making pure stealths since they are mc999'n the real/stealth variants now too.
