Random suspensions
 

Hey guys,

Do you know if the suspension wave is over? Tried to create an account that does not have any real details on it (name, dob, address), as they still ask for ID details only after the first sale. Listed first cheap used item, after 2.5 days got suspended. Fresh device for account creation, real phone number, local 4g ip, all cool and as usual. But suddenly banned.

You need real identity info, I think the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ identity days are over because of the new 1099k reporting. I used your exact same method. Mobile data, real number.

I’ve created 3 successful selling accounts last week no issues yet after getting the first sale on all 3. One of them I created with no cookies or cache. Straight to the selling account creation.

Re: Random suspensions
 

All 3 accounts with same MP details?

Re: Random suspensions
 

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a such thing as "random suspension." You're most likely doing something that is just not working with the new managed payments system. Rest assured, though, these are new waters that we are all navigating.

Re: Random suspensions
 

None of the MP details are the same. They can not be the same or you’ll asking for trouble

Re: Random suspensions
 

I mean that random details are used only when creating a new account. Once ebay asks for ID details - all the details are changed to the real ones. However, in this case it never came to that point - suspension just came 2 days after the first listing. I've created many accounts the same way and it was all good. But this one suddenly got banned.

Re: Random suspensions
 

So when you make the listing, you skip both the ssn, dob and the bank until item sales? And you still get banned?

Could be the phone number you’re using. I was getting message we couldn’t verify your identity please contact us when I was using Textfree numbers until I switched to Verizon everything is fine

Re: Random suspensions
 

Not in US, so not talking about SSN. Bank is not attached either. Phone number is real local sim card, ip is regular 4g mobile local internet, device is real, not emulator or vps. First item is 1 dollar cheap unbranded used crap.

Re: Random suspensions
 

I still get them as well.

With the testing I am doing, I have found that:

Type of item first listed doesn't matter.
Age of account doesn't matter.
Phone number doesn't matter (as long as it isn't a VOIP one) to an extent.
Details such as address and name doesn't matter.
IP is iffy as I had success with VPNs on mobile device and mobile IPs than I do using desktop.

Re: Random suspensions
 

I have some concerns about requirements for the OS installed. Will try from some newer device.

Re: Random suspensions
 

A high quality number and IP address is the most important.

Re: Random suspensions
 

It is all very good. No VPN, no virtual numbers.

Re: Random suspensions
 

Which OS using before?

Re: Random suspensions
 

As I recall from previous years the banning wave can last until February

But now we are in unchartered waters, and hard to see whether the suspensions are related to a banning wave or something else.

Time will tell

Re: Random suspensions
 

I don't eBay can detect ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name/DOB, you need to use real address and active phone number

Re: Random suspensions
 

My setup is very real. Do must be somethibg else

Re: Random suspensions
 

I have created 2 more selling accounts since this post. All is working fine. Get a high quality phone number and mobile hotspot that’s it

Re: Random suspensions
 

And you've listed and sold ar least one item and no issues?

Re: Random suspensions
 

Yes sold and shipped. No issues

Re: Random suspensions
 

We are in Europe. No verizon

Re: Random suspensions
 

how do you avoid id verification?

Re: Random suspensions
 

Can't be avoided, at least, in Ayden countries.
