Impossible to create stealths
 

Creating stealth was always hard in the long term, because eBay algorithms constantly changing. What worked yesterday, might not work today.

But the solution was always just changing something small in the registration process, and it would work again.

I am having an issue now where I create an account, successfully list items, get suspended, and than either eBay won't reinstate my account, or they will ask for docs, I will provide docs, they will reinstate my account, than suspended me again.



I am clueless, I have tried 5 accounts, 5 different countries, none of them worked!


Is anybody else facing the same issue? accounts getting suspended over and over? (not always, just recently).

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

Yeah.. lots of people are.

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

Do you have any clue about what causing it?
I am suspecting now that it could be the fact the IP I am using for registeration is always changing (like mobile proxy). The DNS is the same, but maybe it triggers something in eBay.

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

It's the fact that eBay is starting to process their own payments. It's only going to get harder and harder as managed payments is implemented worldwide.

I don't know what to tell you. I haven't made a new account in years. I'm sure the account sellers would sell you a functional account.

Best option is to buy some incl. VPS here on the marketplace. Works best for me.

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

IP changing is fine.

ISP changing is not fine.

They're making them in Linux ssh

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

Do you think the OS matters? I highly doubt that.
Also using a VPS is problematic, since the ISP is not resedinital. It might work but has a lower chance of success than resedinital IP.

I am going to try using Android user-agent with mobile proxy. Maybe it would help.

My best bet is actually register Many accounts, on some they might get suspended , others get limits increases. so just spreading the risk on multiple accs, some die, some live :)

Also registering new accounts constantly helps stay fit in the process, more so having acounts with low level activity assures constant sales regardles of ban or not. You always must keep your backup accs ready.

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

yes , sure , every body is suffering lately from that , the problem is that ebay is using new security algorithm , fingerprint , and they collect a lot of information about your device and accounts connected to it , and will black list it if you try to make many accounts or got suspended first time for some reason ,
look for canvas and webgl fingerprint technology , these are the ones that is being used lately , and find solution to change them without it being noticed that it has been spoofed or this will also cause it to get suspended
yes it is 1000 time harder now than before to create new accounts ,

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

i totally agree ,i noticed this in many different countries accounts , so its almost a standard every where

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

the suspensions are not random. Ebay increased their security a lot in the past few month. There are a lot of things how can they find out it is you only with your browser.
Here are some examples what your browser leaks and what can be used to track you:

Canvas fingerprint
WebGL hash/fingerprint
Installed fonts (a combination of fonts which you have installed)
Browserlangauge
Timezone
WebRTC (if using VPN)
Flashplayer
Javascript leaks
Geolocation (disabeled by default)
installed browserplugins
useragent
operating system
enabeled/disabeled browserfeatures (https://browserleaks.com/features)
DNS leaks (if using VPN)
VPN itself is almost a guaranteed ban, unleast you have a residential IP whcih is not blacklisted

you can check what information your browser is leaking here https://browserleaks.com/
https://ipleak.net/ https://panopticlick.eff.org/

Most of the information are not a guaranteed fingerprint but putting all of them together is an almost clear indication. e.g there are many people with the same fonts installed like you, but there are no people with the same fonts, same browserlanguage, same useragent, same timezone etc. like you.

The bigest leak is WebGL since it leaks a uniqe ID. if you disable it ebay will most likley ban you anyway since it is very unlikley that someone disabeled it.

with WebGL any website can find out that you are using a VM, so first step would be to stop using VMs.

I currently have a way to create accounts and do not get any bans so keep changing things and try around.


edit: since "Residential IP" automaticly gets linked to Ipburger, i want to say that i never tryed their residential IP so i am not sure if it is good to create accounts or not

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

It means you can spoof the webgl naturally without having a unique hash ?

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

At this point I am wondering if it is worth creating new ebay accounts since so many of us are having bad lucks.

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

I have tried using a Netherlands VPS with 911.re netherlands clean proxy and creating an account, with the idea in mind that the fingerprint is new and clean because this is a vps, and the ip is also resdinital and clean.
Account suspended after 30 minutes.
I have contacted eBay, but I fear it is suspended indefinitely.

No idea what is done wrong. Maybe it is simple the registeration process, its a business account.

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

Residental ip is a proxy,not VPS,VPS is a server.since it still a proxy it still easily to detect by nowdays ebay tech even its residental ip.

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

No, I do have WebGL disabeled completly and it works for me. but if WebGL is the problem you can buy new videocards for each account

https://www.ebay.de/itm/263021002088

3 EUR for a videocard


maybe a fresh instlation of windows will also do the job. I did not investigate how exactly it works since for me accs are fine with WebGL disabled

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

when do people start to use their brain..

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

I put a proxy on the VPS. The ip detected is a resedinital IP. I checked on whatleaks.com, nothing leaks. How can they detect I am using proxy?

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

Alright, than please explain how can eBay know I am using a proxy. Because whatleaks can't.

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

Do you have any updates in your stealth book regarding to this problem?

Re: Impossible to create stealths
 

It's not easy
