New thing Ebay is doing? Selling limits and sellers vetting department

[Dmshark25]

I started adding a bank and visa vanilla , I find even though only one I'd necessarily that u look more legit verifying and confirming and linking accounts

[okay]

^^this is why I only have 1 stealth since I have been on this forum!

These big-daddy sellers on here say it ain't sheesh. You guys have a lot of

cheese, man. these things cost money to activate.\

Seems the reality is unless you are not the lucky one, stealth will cost.

Almost every other post will say, "..always make new accts..have backups.."

'Hotspot devices and broadband data plans are NOT cheap, either.

Oh, and big daddy, he sell a lot, too lol

[Dmshark25]

I usually spend the rest of the funds on mostly Gas after the charge, before they did it right away now after adding it u need to go to view limits and to lift limits u need to hit confirm card which brings u to a page where ur card is charged and on the overview page u need to click confirm card and type in the code, so on 5 accounts that I created when this started happening or was newer I made in July and just added the fund and spent the balance so I had to purchase all new cards

I don't get why they do that instead of just a way to inconvenience the seller

The 1.95$ in your pp balance = more $$ for pp (fees)

They probably are thinking heck, all these staelth accounts coming in and getting left in cold, abandon...

man, I wish I would of known they canceled them all the time I just bought stealth ebay thinking it was a great thing now hearing this it just seems like a hassle

&okay I started with my computer and Internet that's it, and 10 items, everything comes in time, I didn't even have a cell provider or bubble wrap it was using newspaper and just taping regular paper for postage cause I couldn't afford adhesive lables, u build up and with ebay it's a slow start but once 6-7 months comes if u have say 25 accounts boom ur in another level when they all get increases, now I have a room for storage of all shipping supplies and product nicely stocked went from ni phones to 6 cell providers 5 phones and a hotspot, and in the beginning I made every account free, I just added a bank or prepaid card which u get online free and instant and as the accounts grew I added the vanilla visa to lift withdraw limits, and for new numbers there so many apps that give you free numbers and minutes, and that's how I did it nice and slow

Once I've discovered the failure rate, I've basically taken to practice of abandoning the accounts that get this review. It's much tougher than the old MC999 where they ask the basic questions "are the items in your possession? how do you plan on shipping etc. . ."

Exactly my experience today! Got 1 of 4 reinstated and she said it must be a mistake (after answering "none of the above"), reinstated and increased my limits. Other 3 account, not so lucky. Just going to abandon...

Something tells me the "creative" folks are about to get really busy. Anyone have any creative friends they would recommend? I created 6... and thus far the 1 i called in on, got sent to vetting department and after an hour... i was able to fenagle only sending an id.. because the stealth is only 19 years old. Well, maybe 1 doc might be worth it. i dunno. They can't keep this up indefinitely..Right ? On hold for #2 now. for a dog collar..... 2 mc999's out of the 2 i got.. all sent me to vetting department because i used information that could not be looked up. This is not so good news :/

Anyone know someone creative?

It is not a hassle at all.

All you need to do is call and answer the questions.

Rough at first but if you want to save the account it can be done.

You have to do what you have to do.

What do yo mean "all you need to do is answer questions"???? I was asked on 3 calls "public profile" questions. 3 each with 4 multiple choices.Unless you have an unbelievable amount of luck on your side you can't answer those correctly.

[zoneout]

But I don't think you have to get all 4 right. 2 or 3 might be good enough especially if you tell them you are suffering from amnesia. Just be creative like a moscutter says.

[Dmshark25]

Your rushing the selling on accounts, you can avoid getting the Mc999 all together, you need to create buyer accounts and wait a month turn it to a seller account after a month or even two of browsing and buying a few things , get feedback, and than start selling slow when you change to a seller account and than after the first month of being a seller account than you start pushing, and you look like a legit account and wont get hit with mc999, make a bunch of buyer accounts ,they require little information and let them age as a buyer account and than start to age it as a selling account and you will see the progress

I know patience is terrible , but if you need to go full steam ahead be prepared to lose many accounts and hopefully you dont get discouraged quickly

I was always promoting 4 weeks of buying and bidding activity - I have brought it down to 2 weeks but perhaps back to 4 weeks is the move to stick with

I was able to get the limitation removed and yes also waited an hour on hold for trust and safety, it's not too hard to lift if u get creative

But I received another email today and went through the normal questions and they told me my ebay and Paypal were not linked so we took care of this during the call and everything is good to go, they received my documents.

So I almost guarantee that this is why I was flagged, because now that I'm in no rush for accounts I create slow and sell slow, just a book or shipping label , low risk item , I'll sell one and go back 1-2 months later to that group and sell my normal items to the limits and found by doing this I usually get an increase on 2 of the accounts out of 10 made and this has been consistent since June and every month following.

Has anyone else noticed when getting this type of MC999 that ur ebay and Paypal were not linked

I think you may be on to something here... I think mine were not linked because when I purchased an item on that account I was asked to link at the end of transaction.. I'll look into it further.

[glacier922]

I have been creating quite a few accounts since the 28th of October. Have not gotten the mc999 yet. The only time I got it was when I accidentally logged into one of the IP as my more established stealth. Then i got the database question. So far I am linking my PayPal since the 28th to my eBay. Have not gotten one since. I actually sold something last night on an account that was created on the 15th. This one I linked before I sold.

Stealth will cost, but so will losing your ebay account and not having a backup source! Ive only got one stealth at the moment but have just started my second one and eventually I want five, not only for backup purposes but its also good to spread sales over many accounts to try and keep them as private accounts and under the radar, id rather not have one account that will be forced into a business account or powerseller account, as an eBay staff member might take a closer look at you! Also with the star rating system eBay are dropping sellers like flies, so its always best to be ready just in case.

Five is good to start with - more the merrier.

Dmshark, not true about the linking your PayPal. I just got one today after I sold, and it was linked. Granted I sold a medium risk item. I.e. generic case.

[glacier922]

Just called Ebay on the new MC999. Nice lady. I thought she would ask me the public information stuff, but she didn't. Maybe it has something to do with me telling her I'm from another country. Anyways, she explained in great detail of how I can file a case if a buyer does not pay etc etc. Then she tried to verify my phone. It's a GV. Then she asks me that in my paypal that I have linked, it does not have a bank acct, so asked me to add one. Added it, and waiting for deposits to come in to verify. Said she'll call me in 24 hours to see what's up. Strange. I wonder how that will turn out.

I hope they won't be able to get the name from my account somehow. These days, you never know.
