Suspended moments after sign up
 

Just made an ebay account on a fresh VM with ipburger fresh ip, firefox portable, my own email domain, identity generated from ⊗⊗⊗⊗namegen and received permanent suspension email a few minutes after sign up. All I have done is look around, check intro message, go to account settings to add info but then backed out as I don't have phone number solution yet. Does anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong?

UPDATE: After inquiring about my suspension in eBay's live chat, they asked me a few questions regarding my planned usage for the account and after answering they reinstated my account.

Just in case it is helpful for anyone else I will give more details into the questioning below.

1.Tell us about how you plan to use this account:
I have been told by my friends that this is a great place to find good deals on many items so I was interested in just looking around and seeing what I find to potentially buy.
2. Do you intend to buy or sell with this account:
Right now I am mostly just looking around to see what interests me. I may eventually end up selling but I am unsure.
3. What kinds of items do you intend to buy:
Maybe some books and other household items. Possibly some items for recreation like games and such.
4. How do you intend to pay for these items:
I will probably be adding a PayPal account once I've found something that interests me.

Hope this eventually helps someone else, I know when I first got the email I was very worried I wasted a bunch of funds and time getting my setup started, but alas it worked out fine.

Yah, those are pretty standard.

Good luck on eBay. Keep asking questions

Hello JustCurious12, if account suspended, how you contact eBay live?

Sometimes its easy to get those reinstated

However if you are constantly being suspended moments after signup, that isn't normal. I'd reevaluate your stealth methods

they can easily detect VM. VM is a red flag.
