RIP eBay 2019
Well its been a fun ride guys. eBay clearly is letting there AI bots sabotage them from the inside out. And there little filipino reps think they are FBI agents. Asking how the "weather" is in the town you created your account. Asking why the IP isnt matching the EXACT town your in (little do they know half of all IP providers rarely ever match the exact town)
Getting suspended twice FOR NO REASON (didnt even do anything after the reinstatement) And yes I USED ALL REAL INFO. no gvoice crap or proxy crap. I even answered public record questions. So yeah rip i guess.
Why all of a sudden has it become almost impossible to make an ebay account? Were they really getting that much abused? Maybe to many sellers to buyer ratio?
I can't see eBay surviving this much longer if they keep this up. Other platforms are not near as bad as this.
But every great has its down fall.
Good luck stealthiers. Your gonna need it. aiight imma head out. Peace. |

They've decide to do something about it, not to finish themselves as you think, but to save themselves.
Long overdue IMO.
| I understand this, and thats fine. But im making accounts exactly how a normal human being would. Most of the abusers used gvoice and proxies, crap vcc's etc etc. But im doing what a normal joe blow would do if they wanna sell there last stack of pokemon cards. idk. But maybe this is a good thing. When one door closes another one opens. Just cant see the other door right now. |

Re: RIP eBay 2019
Yeah according to trustpilot reviews they’re even indefinitely suspending new accounts of innocent people who never even had an account with Ebay before. Ebay is a joke now. |

It's your creation method champ. Just because it worked before, doesn't mean it works today. Plenty of people making accounts with no issues. |

Re: RIP eBay 2019
They are trying to get on Amazons level. Zero tolerance.
It's the only way they will survive otherwise they can expect to be crushed like a cockroach.
Plenty of other second hand markets and shops are creating their own space online. So ebay will be finished if they don't act quickly. |

| In all fairness, ebay USA always seem to be harder and just harsher in general than their other subsidiary sites. They always roll out things first in the USA.
May be this new bot AI will be rolled out everywhere else ? only time will tell.
I got a feeling it's got something to do with their managed payments being implemented. During this transitional period they are just upping the security to maximum. It will calm down again no doubt. |

| Are you getting the double suspension, or just the initial one? How soon do you get the first, and second (if applicable) |
| iamlmfao | 10-29-2019 05:49 AM |
Re: RIP eBay 2019
The second suspension came about 24hours after reinstatement of the first suspension. And maybe only USA ebay is committing suicide. idk. |

Re: RIP eBay 2019
ebay does not profit from more sellers. there are enough people selling in ebay.
For them it is beter if 5 people sell the same product than 20.
This will not decrease the number of buyers so they stil make the same profit.
Why would they not make it super hard then for new sellers. |

I am personally very happy they are killing many stealth sellers. In all reality, if you need to constantly make accounts like lmfao, then ebay needs to rid the platform of those sellers. Run and Gun sellers are the worst sellers. :boink: |

Re: RIP eBay 2019
eBay isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but they are no longer catering to the small time seller or guy who is setting his used stuff around the house. eBay wants to be a lot more like Amazon and following in their footsteps.
My neighbor told me he is cleaning out his backyard storage shed and putting those items on Craigslist. He told me that eBay charges too much for fees and it's a hassle and too much work listing there anymore. Each to their own, I guess.
There are still sellers here that do OK with EB, at least for now. |

| I don't know much about how FB Market works, but I have heard of sellers shipping items to their buyers on there. It's only a matter of time before it becomes like another scam central such as Craigslist unless there are strict controls in place.
Speaking of Craigslist, they have more flakey buyers than a frosted flakes cereal box. |

| I've been saying and thinking this for a long time eBay and PayPal don't rely or need stealth accounts by any means. I'm sure stealth accounts are not even 5% of the total market.
Truth be told every stealth account created does more harm than good in the long run.
They've had all they want of stealth accounts now and have stepped there game way up and it's only going to get worse and worse...I wouldn't doubt if these forums have a big fall out. I've seen so many postings of people having so many problems. |

Re: RIP eBay 2019
Well we certainly have the biggest online presence and we are the go to place for stealth.
I disagree when you just say every stealth account created does more harm in the long run. It really depends on how they are used.
I want to believe that most people just want to make a living and do it the right way the best they can. That being said, there'll always be that 1 bad apple that is bad for business.
So let's keep a positive outlook shall we? |

| I'm sure we're a fraction of one percent. I ran across a seller the other day that had 65,000 feedback in the last month. Given a 30% feedback ratio, that's over 200,00 sales in ONE MONTH. I bet all stealthers combined don't add up to that one seller. |

Re: RIP eBay 2019
Dang, 2 out of 4 of my new accounts got suspended and I called and bitched the supervisor out for like 20 minutes.
I told him I worked same job as him and he could easily hit the button that approves me lol. His answer was he's choosing the safety of eBay community lmao. I sell over 10k in items on each account and only have like 1 negative on my 8 accounts
And ship within in 1 business day, I'm the eBay prime of shipping speed.
Safety of the community is definitely the goal at their morning office pep up meetings
Now my goal is to find out what system this public record search uses.
I'm thinking about using peoples identities who buy from me since I know for sure they are legit lol |
