Changing your EBAY name, address, account details. Safe? What address to give EBAY?

Yeah, the phone number was a fax number but EB wouldnt know that. I think.

I tried to list an item and EB pulled me up for it stating that I did not have proper cantact information Blah Blah......

So how do you know 4 sure it was the PO BOX? Was your phone number correct? Was the name real info?

[spike1]

had to be the fax number. i know paypal can tell if you're using a cell phone or not, maybe ebay can tell if it is a fax number

[powerbid]

FAX NUMBERS are not any different then normal phone numbers.. unless someone calls them and finds out the fax tone..

Any way on the internet you can get some kinda phone number you can register with ebay??? i ran out of phone numbers to use and just ptu a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ one the my new account that i created today. gonna follow rules on this one this time, taking it nice and easy.

Hi,

I recently discovered this excellent forum and have spent the last several hours learning a great deal about the suspension process. Of course I myself have been the victim of numerous suspensions and am trying to avoid any future mishaps.

Last night I made a very silly mistake, I updated the personal information/credit card section of a 4 month old account to the credit card number of a suspended account. The credit card however was never used to pay any ebay fees etc.

I am wondering if I should go in and immediately change it to a clean credit number or just leave it. Will changing the number so soon cause flags?.

Any input would be appreciated.

[Rosanna]

Unfortunately if I were you I would change my ip address, etc. now and prepare to start a new account, but you might get lucky. Good Luck.

Lol omg I just did the same exact thing you did. I thought I didnt use the card and i looked at the transaction history so I thought it was fine. But after i did it I found it was linked with a suspened account. But funny thing is i realized that when i used the card it was last month. I only saw transactions on it this month T.T

But idk wut will happen, its about 6 months old the account.


edit now that i remember i did made this mistake once 7 months ago. Im pretty sure the account was fine.

Yes that is what I did, the new account is about 4 months old. I am wondering if I should immediately edit it now or just leave it and see what happens?.

when i used a previous suspended accounts credit card.. to a full swing 160+ feedback account it was suspended overnight... it might be too late.. i dont think u can save ur account any longer.. adding a new credit card will only make it useless tooo.. u should be creating a new account now and save that credit card for it.... i might seem a bit straight forward.. but thats my experience.

I have a question about payment addresses.

I understand you're suppose to use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ addresses so that it wont link to your original suspended account, but does that apply to the payment address as well? if so than i wont accept money orders/checks but if it has no affect than i will.

please email all answers to polandfreshness@yahoo.com or post on this thread. thanks.

[aspkin]

It's the same as any other address on your account. EBay will suspend you account just the same. You can PM your buyers with the correct address, or you could setup a PO Box address and that'll work. I'm sure there are other options as well.

LOLLLLLLLL :D :D :D :D :D

For my payment address..etc..I've put "Please ask me, 23 Please ask avenue..." something like that.

[polandfreshness]

i have been putting my payment address as my own, no wonder i keep getting suspended, also I was wondering if you complete all the other steps except for the change the ip address one, will you be suspended no matter what?

[vers0]

I do accepts checks and MO and will email the buyer my address information. NEVER send message using eBay....So far I have not had any problems, but I also try to keep those customers happy to not give them a reason to write to ebay with my information.

[Jonas]

If you make a new account then don't put the address and it's fine but if you put one you have to put "please ask contact me first" stuff. eBay told me it was allowed to do that.

[vers0]

Jonas good information...

[polandfreshness]

am i suppose to state it in the additional checkout information or no?

[Slavaja]

heres an answer make a po box and get ur post office to redirect the mail to ur from your address to your po box. example i sent a letter you ur address but it gets mail to ur po box since u redirected it. know what mean?

[DogFacedBoy]

Here's the situation. I had two ebay accounts sharing the same Payapl account but with different email addresses for each.
The other morning I got slammed with the "you need to provide additonal information" This immeadiately shut down the EB account that I was selling on. The other EB account is still doing fine. I have never sold on the 2nd account and now that I have a few positive feedbacks and it is over a month old I would like to start using in. The problem is that the email address for PP goes to the same account that serviced the EB account. So, what is the point of selling if the money goes to a PP account that I can never collect off of. Is there a way to change it? It seems that every PP link on EB in "My Profile" just sends me to PP and nowhere where I can change the address, say like you would enter a different CC to pay your fees

Okay I figured out how to do it. I simply went and changed my notification email address to the newly set up email that was added to the older Paypal account and actually sent out a payment. We'll see how it works for trying to sell something, but I think I will wait a few more feedbacks before I do that
