eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

Hello guys, So about a week ago i got my main eBay account banned (MC011)

Then about 2 days later i purchased an account from a seller on this forum and have read the stealth book thoroughly.

Once i received the account, I bought a 3 month subscription to 24vc even tho this is probably not even wise to use, best is to use a 4g hotspot device if possible. but with all the people here saying that is not an issue i trusted it.

So then after two or so days of adding items and browsing on my so called stealth ebay, i list my first item. Not a high value item my asking price was $16.99 For the following 24 hours after i listed this item, my item was not even public, i tried the search results, i tried going to my profile page directly, the item was not public, but in the "my ebay" section it was still there. And after about 26 hours of it being listed but not public i get this email saying i am suspended.

Is there something i am missing? How can this happen? are these vpn services really this ****?

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

Yeah it's happened to about 5-6 accounts I have made. 3 Of them were re-instated after contacting CS. But then banned again.

Now I have 3 accounts just browsing / buying items. I will try listing items on those in a month or two.

It's getting harder to stealth during the xmas / new year period. Just browse on accounts until next year.

it's not the VPN that's ****. It can be a number of things and without details, I can't really guess what's up aside from it's the Holiday season and they are being anal about suspensions.

Thank you for replies guys. I just found this odd. The only thing that made me seem suspicious would have to be IP I used, perhaps DNS server, etc. my gut instinct was the use rdp cuz I can get a windows vps for around same price as those vpns advertised on here but was advised to not do so. I will be getting one of these dynamic prepaid 4g hotspots soon and hopefully this can solve one of my issues.

You have to remember you are registering during the hardest time of year to sell for new accounts, both amazon & ebay increase their security big time for all new accounts during the holidays. That's why its best to have accounts already aged and ready to go way before the holidays. If your planning on starting with a new account now you better take it extremely slow, ie registering an account and then starting to sell 2 days later is not extermely slow.

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

You have the stealth guide, instead of using VPS, why not just do it the normal way like new windows user account, dedicated computers, dedicated IP etc?

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

Listing first items after 2 days is so fast.
What your items listing?
Be slowly... Looking around ebay, bid, add to watchlist, etc in 7-10 days before first listing. I ussual choose Auction 7 days for first listing.

You could have saved that money for the 4G prepaid hotspot. I feel sad whenever i see this happened in all of the forums im in. I always tell them to just use a 3G/4G mobile IP address or residential IP address proxies.
They're really realiable compared to datacenter ips offered by VPN. Cheap as $10.00/mo and no set-up fee.
VPNs are only good for anonymity purposes, and not for payment processors.

Good approach :)

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

Do you use the same 4G hotspot device to create multiple stealth accounts, or do you buy a new one for each? And if you buy a new one, do you switch providers? My brother's company uses about 8 different hotspot devices for backup Internet.. I was thinking of using those.

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

Before I only use 1 4G hotspot device, but when i started managing quite a lot of stealth accounts, I searched a good 4G mobile/residential proxies instead. They're easier for me to use, and saved a lot of time in setting up. And I will no longer list the IPs im connecting to since i have a dedicated proxies in each of the accounts :bounce:

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

Can you recommend a good company to get the 4G/residential proxies?

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

Im not sure if im allowed to post links here, but if you can search on google,
just type 4G mobile proxies or Residential Proxies. I do not pick the providers on the 1st page, just get those providers on Pages 2 or 3 and so on :)

Thanks.. found some that were really cheap compared to some of the insanely priced ones that charge you per GB. It's the package named "Classified Ads"... Already found 3 companies for diversity... Just in case 1 of them goes out of business down the road

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

Hope it works out well :)

Re: eBay Stealth Banned for no reason.
 

When you were using a 4G wifi router, were you using the same 4G router to create many accounts?

Were the ips dynamic?
