Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Hi,

I made a new ebay/paypal account. New address, new name, new IPBurger IP, new mobile number, new PC user, new VCC, new everything.

I browsed for 2 weeks, watched items, bid (and lost) on items etc.

So On Thursday I listed a used book, with my photos (exif removed) at £ 0.02 auction. The account gets suspended because of serious security concerns. I call in and the rep tells me that ebay are suspending accounts after 1st listing, new policy but if I answer some questions I might get it unsuspended. He asked what I'm going to sell, if I have had an account before. I answer, household items, never had an account. He says fine and removes the suspension.

So the next day I list my used book again.

Today I am suspended again!! :noidea::noidea:

Any insight into what is going on?

I'll have to call in again. :help:

UPDATE- I called in and the rep says I need to send in proof of name and address. Will do.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

lets just be honest, EBAY IS BECOMING AN ABSOLUTE JOKE. And PAYPAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN A JOKE. The middleclass of ebay will be gone soon. Just like real life. Hopefully the big man above will watch over us. But I doubt it.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

It could be the book itself or the price. 2 cents is pretty low...
$5 would be less risky usually

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Same situation with me. Listed different kind items with different price range ! Every time got suspended. Firstly i was need to confirm basic questions, second suspension was removed after confirming my phone. But there was also third limitation for every account and this limitation was final which cant be removed. After asking questions to ebay they told me it is because of my financial information. Because my paypal is not confirmed. But actualy it is and 100% confirmed.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Are you using stock photos or real photos?

I often list items with unconfirmed paypal on new ebay accounts

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Real photos.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Book is a textbook? Just wondering

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

non fiction about the drug wars in Mexico.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

It's not the book. Non-fiction used books are safe. Focus on your account set-up. It's Ebay's security bots not trusting your account. If they don't like ANY of the following, you'll raise this security flag:
IP address (number itself or the fact it's a data center IP)
Physical address (banned or abused before)
Phone number (banned or abused before)
Risky first item listing (not a problem in your case)
Not building cookies long enough (listing too fast before they get to "know" you)
Duplication of any information that you've used before (linking)
Listing without an attached verified PayPal account (they share info with Ebay and solid PayPal account helps)
Using a computer or phone that still has old cookies on it without creating a new user account, or using windows 10 computer which leaks information throughout user accounts.
Bottom line:
Ebay and/or PayPal doesn't like something about your account, and it's best to review everything and figure out what went wrong with your account.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Well with the bold sentences above , Is it meaning VCC doesn't work anymore ?
Because i got Notification next day for Unauthorized Payment method because of VCC ( then suspended after that )

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

windows 10 leaks info across user accounts? i have multiple user accounts but i restart my laptop when switching accounts and dont just switch accounts. is this a safe practice?
i of course switch ips through tethering from my boost mobile phone each time as well.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Most likely because PP not linked to EB. Also, from the side of EB, an user that never purchased anything before selling is a rare thing. So listing something without buying something first is high risk and causes suspensions. It is pretty logical - very few people would have courage to sell something on a new platform for them, before trying safer way - buying something first and seeing how it works.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

plenty of people create a seller account to sell something around the house,in fact Ebay attraction is to be able to raise money fast by selling some personal belongings,AMZN attraction is to buy something cheaper than a brick and mortar store and have it delivered to your home fast .
Unless you are selling brand new high risk item with stock photo like the latest version of Iphone

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Not really, most people are first exploring and buying, and only then go for selling, once some trust is built, as it is that simple putting an item for an auction only for experienced sellers, but for a fresh-comers it is still a miracle - to sell something one the web.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

The biggest reason for getting suspended is lack of history, create history and cookies before listing your first item and you'e generally ok

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Did he not do this?


"I browsed for 2 weeks, watched items, bid (and lost) on items etc."

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Yes, logged in almost everyday building cookies etc...

Is it safe to use RDP with windows 10 with proxifier and ipburger fresh ip?

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

If you are connected via RDC to a remote computer, there is no way anyone can see your own real address.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

eBAY Told him it is his financial profile,his Paypal account is not verified with bank/cc .

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Yes same was hapened to me, and same story from ebay.

I think it is realted to that cos we cant fully link paypal to ebay. Even paypal is 100% verified.

It is glitch from ebay side but its is related with this account suspension rampage what is happening now !

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Definately got whacked myself....probably not a bad idea to buy something first there are many things you can buy for $1

I also used a USED item.....I still think new items are better than used for the first few.

I also buy from myself via friends and send with tracking so i can fill in the tracking number....that really helps with the trust factor FAST.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Question on building cookies.....I used remember password and never have to log in again.....is it better to log out and log in again to build cookies? To make sure the login gets logged and cookied.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

does anyone have any solution to this issue??

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

No, there is no solution for this so far

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

It seems that there should be some way. For example, buy 15 items and ask for feedbacks from every seller. Then wait for some time and try selling.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Ebay is definitely cracking down, sounds like they could still be linking you or identifying you somehow. For example, have you checked your DNS?

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Ebay now days ban even new buyer accounts, not even seller

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

If even your buyer accounts are being suspended, then there should be something wrong with your method

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

I am clicking mouse in wrong way? Or I am pasting email in wrong way?

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

sarcastic but the truth is nowadays ebay is banning buyer accounts which created by abused IP.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

eBay and PayPal are just scrutinizing activity that most NORMAL users don't do.

Using Data Center based IP's: Proxies, VPN's, etc.
Using virtual phone # (such as Google Voice) especially when signing up.
Using a foreign issued prepaid VCC from suspect country.
Listing too soon after account creation.

Those are the top 4, but there is a bit more to it than that.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Karlis, Which ip address you using upon registration? Do you buy socks/proxy or VPN? you doing latvian accounts or uk ?

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

In this case, I predict your account have seller limit to 500 items or higher. right?
I think they reviewed and found that the information you used to register for the account was duplicated.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

there are ways to still make accounts, and not get suspended even when listing an item. Either they do not know or dont want to share here, but lets not with the mass hysteria. Stealth is still very doable.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

send you pm

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

Of course there is a way . But they're right to keep them for themselves. Because if a lot of people do that, it's abuse. One thing that catches my attention is the fact that there are many people who take everything offered and sold here and still fail. So if something is missing, something should not be sold. Because the people who sell them are people who know this business and they know what they sell. I feel so sorry for them. There are hundreds of topics for problems, all useful. But they're not complete information. Everyone here will learn a lot about Stealth. And I'm sure everyone will never share this information here. Nobody wants their business to break down.

Re: Ebay suspending new accounts on 1st listing
 

I have same issue,but my ebay account is aged account(2017 bought form forum seller but never use before),3 days ago,list first 5 auction items,today got the ebay my account was suspended,also security concerns reason.

Is your ebay account also UK account?I saw your thread,you called them twice,after you gave the proof of name and address,has your account returned to normal?

They will give you a link to upload the proof of name and address,passport and Utility Bill？
