Re: eBay suspending all new accounts??
 

They have bots pulling accounts "over" like traffic wardens doing random checks.

Reason I say this is because I have now opened 6 stealths myself on top of the one I purchased on here. Haven't done anything differently or listed anything different. Same items across all accounts. Same methods of browsing and building cookies etc.

3 of them appear to be running fine, 3 of them got suspended. I recovered 2 with creative ID's. 1 of them the ID was rejected but it transpired the real reason it went toast is due to the fact the stealth paypal did not link to the account and it let me list an item, that flagged it.

I also have 2 additional accounts that are semi-stealth linked to my genuine paypals. They appear to be OK for now but I am sure they will soon be banned if I slip up or when the bots do a deeper scan and detect it but I am doing everything I possibly can to give them as little info as possible including paying the fees via VCC on those. On top of bending over backwards for my customers.

Ebays methods will continiously change and the stealth game will become more difficult but we just have to hope for the best and share knowledge between each other to bypass hurdles.

My guess is going stealth with a legitimate business, you should be fine indefinitely / for many years once the account becomes established.

But going stealth to list vero or to violate policies and defraud people ... expect to be banned.

Before few days, i make a new buyer account on the virtual machine with working seller account. Using the same name. I just scrooll few pages. Never making this account seller or conected with paypal. But after 48 hours the account was suspended.

Re: eBay suspending all new accounts??
 

Yeah, more and more accounts are getting suspended. Something has been changed... We are selling stealths, so I have never seen so huge suspension rate.. This is a huge trouble

"My guess is going stealth with a legitimate business, you should be fine indefinitely"

Im a great believer in this.
Ebay are so unpredictable, its impossible to be legitimate and make alot of fast turnover money.

To maintain a long ebay stealth, you have to be selling very little with low risk and not making decent money.

Re: eBay suspending all new accounts??
 

yep, totally agree. ive seen a massive raise in account being banned/restricted.

Re: eBay suspending all new accounts??
 

I think the same, ebay has become way more stricter than it was before, it is getting harder and harder to successfully operate your business on their platform

Re: eBay suspending all new accounts??
 

you have to find things to sell,and it takes work.
There are still some categories which you find on Ebay and hardly anywhere at a discount,time pieces,period jewelry,ethnic antiques,prints/
They are out there on Ebay.
this is where brick and mortar antique dealers treasure hunt.
ELDERLY will sell to raise money to pay for food and medicine,fix roof,basement,pay some bills,
if there is something you are interested in,buy some books and study them.
