Re: Ebay made it tougher for creating new accounts nowdays, and our adaption to it?
 

I think this is 100% accurate. I successfully created a stealth account a few days ago listed a baseball bat, smart watch, and a smart speaker all safe items and a new paypal with all new information. I believe the only thing I got lazy on which I never had a problem with before was my proxy provider.

AMEN! They can, they will and they do. Hell some are even members....proven beyond a reasonable doubt...

This forum is a lifesaver and has been forever...just wish there was a way to share more info privately...like as a group. dont know the answer but without it, the speculation, inconsistency with some vs others is giving me migraines...

quick follow up...might be old news to most but all the guessing about the new policy and why etc...got me researching for past couple months...not a solution but i can say with certainty at least part of the "why" it's happening...maybe that will lead to a solution...

the equifax hack in 2017 by the chinese opened the flood gates..first they hit Amazon hard and Amazon implemented stricter verification...after that ebay got hammered by ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts in 2018/2019. ebay then implements stricter verification policies (probably overreacted ) by suspending anything with even the slightest hint of stealth. even when you call, if the CS agent senses nervousness or uncertainty your toast. a major red flag that came out of the chinese hack that is now causing the guessing game on IP is that they used 34 servers in 20 countries......the public information questions came out of the same hack because they got peoples credit reports, so ebay is asking questions from credit reports....

I couldn't have been the only one here that saw these reports....

but I can say with certainty that is what sparked alot of this. again, not a solution and not an answer as to why some are getting suspended and some aren't...my guess, they overreacted in the beginning, realized and adjusted back a notch.

So apologies if i'm late to the game and it's old news...

I dont know the answer, like I said I just wish there was a way...

^^ Exactly why some information must never be let out on this forum, no matter what.

raise the barrier of entry,never understand why Ebay does not do it,but then no one at Ebay ever run a retail business.
