Cell phone tether is not an issue as far I can see as the ip changes all the time, I used to do it all the time on Amazon and they are more tech savvy than eBay.

This is it. All my new accounts were getting banned because the Paypal was not verified. Since Paypal verified, no suspensions on the last 10 accounts that I have created. I think this is a new thing were sellers need a verified Paypal to sell on eBay.

Using a VPN would have certainly been a linking factor.
Using your cellphone as a hotspot device would work better. Be sure to keep track of all the IPs being used.

Ya something is definitely flawed in your process. I started a few a week or so ago and followed normal procedures. Build cookies, search around etc for a few days then listed no risk real picture items. Took about 24 hours and got notice two verify. Had to call twice for reasons stated in other threads. Public records type. Second call CS was helpful, I used common sense when it came to questions and got reactivated immediately. No problem.

I always use 24vc for VPN.. Probably used them for over a hundred accounts past few years and never any issues.
Just a thought, could it be opening so many at once leads to mistakes? Not saying that's the reason but I've never opened more than a few at a time.

Did you create multiple accounts using the same cell phone service, or did you mix it up with other cell phone services?

i got 50+ suspended recently. And i wrote all datapoints out. Nothing matches with remaining active one. And it looks pure random.. super super random. Everything what i read here does not match with my method.

[stealthbro]

- its not ip
- its not inactivity
- its not cookies
- its not "digital items"
- its not "high risk items"
- its not 3rd party
- its not phone number
- its not cc
- its not pp is not linked
- its not first or second listing
- its not email
...
nothing matches

I think the suspensions are to have you phone up and have the account verified over the phone by asking personal questions such as your height where you may have lived or car color etc.

Just another way that eBay is tightening up.

I expect that none of the suspended accounts were on managed payments.

i've always made it this way. plenty of big celluar people use ebay mobile they just cant ban mobile use..So ips refresh quickly, some duplicates i am sure, but ebay can't tie that.. there's too many mobile users.
I've lost a half dozen over the last month .. some 5-7 year old accounts. But, still issue persists.. on first listing, usually call or find another way

I used the same cell phone service.

That's right, none of mine were on managed payments.

I have a feeling this is somewhat true also. Problem is, to get verified, you need bank account, and if I make 30 accounts, I need 30 banks on the fly.

I've been monitoring my mobile hotspot and cell phone IP for the last few days. It seems that it really doesn't change all that often. Maybe once, sometimes twice a day... even when moving around to different cities. I think on my next batch of stealth accounts, I'm gonna try creating 3-5 accounts using 1 cell provider and another batch using a different provider. If the entire batch of 1 provider gets suspended and other doesn't, then I'll know where the link is.

Nah. You just need a VCC confirmed with the code and that verifies your account I believe.

Not true in USA
OP is in USA based on his flag.
There is no VCC verification anymore on US PayPal accounts as a bank account is your verification. Also, a US bank account is required to get your money from PayPal as you can't spend it or buy fees with US accounts unless giving them valid SSN and other information.

I think its a ebay AI first looking for patterns.
Then they ebay rep personally took out an entire range.
