Virtual Box Cause Suspension ?
 

Hi Folks,

Yesterday I created a stealth ebay account and list a normal product by using Virtual Box(First time to use Virtual Box for ebay).But today I received an email like this:
After reviewing your eBay account, recent activity has raised serious security concerns. As a result, we've taken the following action on your account:
- Your eBay account has been suspended.
- Item listings have been removed. A list of removed items is available further down in this email.

You won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account. Any outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file.

We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm -- however unintentionally -- to the eBay community.
Here are the listings we removed:

Now I doubt Virtual Box cause this suspension. I tried to use VB this year for Creating Amazon and eBay. The result is two of Amazon accounts are suspended and others are still review, and this ebay is suspended.
Everything should be good for stealth.
Do you guys have any ideas ?
Thanks

What did you use for IP?

I don't think the virtualization software caused your suspension.

Did you list something high risk or expensive?
Did you make sure your Mifi IP was fresh, and not used by you before to make another account?

They don't usually link accounts based solely on IP post-account creation. But if you're creating multiple accounts with the same IP that's known to cause problems.

My product is plastic letters mold for $49.99.
My PayPal is fine, I am thinking that stealth name and address most likely cause this suspension if it is not about VB.

$50 is pretty expensive for a first sale. That's another possible reason.

You are right, I should try to list below $10.

Quick update. eBay just reinstate my account after phone call.
They said this is normally verification of product I listed , then ask some questions like who own these product , do you have warehouse .. I barely hear (the signal was not good), I keep answering yes.
