Ebay Suspension but why?

[JDB1980]

I created a new user account on my computer. Used a IP from Miami, created a new email, used newly downloaded firefox browser. No personal details. I created an ebay seller account....I didn't even get to linking paypal before the ebay account was suspended.

What am I missing?

You have to keep changing the way you make your accounts, no seller on this forum will tell you what u doing wrong
Its quite normal that ebay suspend all new account conatct them they will restore

This is normal you have to call in to restore the account

Hello, dont want to hijack the topic, but I too got suspended within an hour for creating a new ebay account. I was using VPN while creating the ebay account with a London based IP address.

Never been suspended like this, could it be the VPN as I could not think any other thing as all the info was new and not connected to old accounts?

Here is the ebay message:

Hello xxxx,
Your eBay account was suspended because recent account activity has raised serious security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm -- however unintentionally -- to the eBay Community.

You won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account.

Any outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file.

Yes it’s your VPN when opening an account don’t use VPN use mobile internet at least for 3 months whilst selling items and then move to VPN. eBay can see that your using VPN and they no longer like this.
