Ebay closed
 

Well just after a bit of advice, i opened new account and put on a couple of watches not ⊗⊗⊗⊗ and not expensive and they were bought legitimately from an auction of a closed down local store

i then unexpectedly got this message

You cannot sell expensive, new, branded items on a new account.

Has been discussed for months here.

Re: Ebay closed
 

It doesn't hurt to try, if you want to salvage that account. Chances of it getting reinstated are slim to say the least.

You can try to submit documents, but in parallel, you should also be growing stealths.

And most importantly, follow Sandy's advice and not sell new/expensive items on a new account. This will always fail.

Re: Ebay closed
 

How much were the watches , even $150. Watch although cheap when talking about a price of watches can be too high of a price to start selling an item at on a new account and needs to gradually build

Also your selling in a risky category where there is risks of counterfeits so not a good item to start out with on a new account, the first 90 days is critical

It's a probation period and if your numbers reflect risk they cut you out

And if you provide the documents within the time frame they can restore your account

Re: Ebay closed
 

Not expensive watches

RRP £60 or about 90 USD if you prefer

I started with the crappest 2 to warm the account a little

~I got a fair few all genuine they go up to about £250, and they all genuine from a liquidated local firm

I dont like giving a bank account up but i think computer will now say no, even if i send telegram from queen

I could do the receipt for watches no problem, i could do an address letter but i cannot do photo id and god i have tried lol

So i pay, and i feel thats not going to be worth trying

They asked for photo ID??? Usually the times I was asked for ID I always covered the picture

Re: Ebay closed
 

How many days old was the account bro?

Re: Ebay closed
 

hmmm i assumed picture was part of the post for ID. It says 2 forms

Is that same for Paypal then??

Just the one day

Re: Ebay closed
 

Not so fast bro ebay as changed over a time frame, got to let accounts age at least a month before listing an items. Do a few bidding or buy it now to gain feedback and establish your credibility on there platform. They like when you spend plain and simple

Re: Ebay closed
 

Probably,

i have a few accounts though although 1 day is the quickest i have listed

I think the main problem though is the actual item sold, it probably raised a flag

i think i will ring tomorrow and explain, shame to waste an account before it starts. Although im pretty sure im wasting my time

Re: Ebay closed
 

@thered, new account is stealth right? Might as well get creative and attempt to unblock BUT get stealth backups going in case of failure

Re: Ebay closed
 

Yes its a stealth one, i dont like wasting bank accounts tho

What is classed as acceptable ID as per first post?

Re: Ebay closed
 

Passport or UK licence....

Re: Ebay closed
 

Thats where im stuck,

my creativeness= crapness

not much good at getting Id
