Try using something other than IPburger - IPburger is targeted at ebayers so the IP range may be a flag to ebay - using any data centre IP isn't the best idea... I'll probably be reprimanded for telling you this on this forum :pop2:

Really theres no need to use VM's. I've got over 20 accounts operating from my regular windows desktop. Just don't forget to switch IP's between access.

All in all ebay want you to buy/sell - but if you give them a big red flag they will act on it

Don't create accounts with VPN and your success rate will be much higher. One the account is up and running then you may use VPN

As Paul said, there is no need to use VM, I operate multiple accounts just with portable broswer folders

You're more likely to be suspended for other reasons such as:
account creation method, IP, VCC, or even using some online solution for phone numbers.

One way to know what's taking down your accounts is to try these:

1. Make a list of all the items or solutions it takes you to string your stealth account together.
2. You'd need to create several new accounts to equal the number of items on the list above.
3. With the creation of each account, change a thing or solution from your list and use an alternate instead.

For example,

If your list consists of IP, VCC, Phone Number, email, VM and Browser.

Account 1 should only change IP.
Account 2 should use the new IP solution + new VCC solution.
Same for subsequent accounts until you iterate the entire list.

If only one account goes down, you'd have figured out what the cause is.

If two pr more accounts are affected then make a list of items from those two accounts and repeat the process.

It might be tedious but speculating is worse.

You are right about the GPU, but it's not the only factor.
I know it because I had to develop a software and I had to prevent it to run in a VM, I can tell you that you can modify VM's configuration file and make it run as a normal environment, I will try it very soon so right now I cannot tell you the exact factors but GPU is one of them for sure.

thanks for sharing the info , that might be really helpful ,
there is some thing that is related to the subject , amazon stealth accounts creators usually use vm, that at least what i read around the internet , is that giving any information about the whole thing , they say amazon is the hardest to trick , they use the strongest security and detection systems ,

and about the vm configuration thing , there is some options in the vmware 15.5 that allows you to turn on and off the cpu virtualization usage , does that have to do with the configuration thing ?

Update: I created an account using VM using same PayPal of a different account (just changed email). After 2-3 days I listed a low-risk item and been waiting for it to appear, when it did, I listed very high-risk item and the list is still alive.

I don't know if my solution was helpful, I created many accounts and eBay suspended them and this one it didn't.
To test it further, I will have to create more accounts and see if this solution works for sure.

You can use the chat option, I reinstated many account using it.
The agent will ask you the regular questions, if you are gonna do it very often so just copy/paste the answers because the agent uses same questions at the same order.
