Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

This is bs! I created a new account with ebay and PayPal using my brother's information. He has never had an account before. I create a fresh new account login on my pc. Made sure everything was cleared up. I used a VPN. I used my father's address. I verified the PayPal account. And they suspended me. I got suspended and called them using a different phone number which I used for the accounts and had never used before and they lifted the suspension. Then a day later they suspended it again. I called them and they said I couldn't do anything. So I talked to their supervisor and he said the same thing! They told me it was final and they can't tell me why because it's a secret and they don't want it to get out. This is total bull****!

how long after creation you listed first item?

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

Second day. It was a small item. I know a lot of people that create an account just to sell things. The do it the same day!

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

Are you saying you called them to lift the first suspension with a phone # other than the phone # you used to create the eBay account you were calling about?

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

No I used the same number.

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

what VCC you used to create paypal account?

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

its not the vcc, obviously not the info he used cause its his brothers, and used a different address.....think think think

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

Sounds to me like a VPN and/or Phone issue.

What VPN service did you use?

What phone service did you use?

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

I used netsped. I user dedicated VPN with vpnshazam. I used a paid subscription to textnow.

now i see 2 issues lol

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

OK? Please tell.

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

You used textnow for the phone number? That right there would have killed the account.
Listing an item after a day - that would also have killed the account. And I say that without even knowing what the 'small item' was. Anything branded or electronics related could cause this - a small item such as a phone charger that sells for under $10.
And don't bother looking at what 'other people' are doing. You see the ones who got lucky - for the moment. What you don't see is the vast majority of people who just like got suspended within a day.

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

A normal person who wants to sell on eBay will list something the first day as you say. Difference is they will be using their legitimate information and if an account issue arises, they can call in and verify their identity.

Since you are using all "legit" info I would be surprised if they wouldn't lift your suspension after calling in.

Must have been something else that triggered it. The TextNow number is one, VPNshazam is probably another.

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

There... you just found your answer.

Try IPburger for VPN and no more textnow

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

Answer is VPN in the first place. Is it residential? Or did you just link yourself to the other half a million using it with paypal / ebay. Text now is also no good. Just go buy a prepaid under a legitimate network such as straight talk which will come up as t-mobile.

Re: Wth! I created an account and it was suspended in days
 

out of my last 50 created accs half of them got suspended.

if you call them they restore it and supsend it 1 day after. (i called 10 times and every time the same, didnt bother to call anymore after first suspension)

all my ips and phones are fine and i can tell you that it is completly random and you just need to create a new account.
