shutting down an ebay account before it gets suspended
 

ok for example if i have 2 ebay accounts,X account and Y account. all have about 100 feedback and they are linked due ip address or cookies etc. all of a sudden on X account i started to get negs, disputes and auctions pulled down. and you kno any day now your X account is going to get suspended. and your Y account is in good condition. if you X account gets suspended the Y account also will. so would it be a good idea if i shut account X to save account Y from suspension?

What is the actual link? Is it IP address or something else? Same name etc etc.
Why sacrifice an account with 100 FB?

well lets just put it this way if any one of those accounts goes down both will.

I looked in my ebay seller dashboard today and I followed the rating on --Ebay Policy-- the thing said -good, no violations of ebay in the last 4 MONTHS--

From that I can infer that they may have a preset number of violations (for different things, different violations) within a 4 month period as a standard for account suspension.

So as hard as it may be, I think you should let them cool off for a bit, especially if they pre nov 2007 accounts.


In 2005 I had a couple of accts suspended for vero, and it took 4 veros before each acct was suspended. But that is old info and should be taken with grain of salt.
