Trying to get some clarification on a new eBay account I purchase here
 

Hi all, I joined this forum about 2 months ago and I purchased the ebay stealth and the amazon ghost. I did learn a few things from each but it is mostly common sense stuff. I have been selling on ebay and amazon for almost 20 years. That being said I am not a techy person and have been able to get by just fine. Since my ebay account was permantly suspended for association I was looking for direction here and found that I could buy aged ebay accounts that would allow me to start selling faster and would have other benefit. My question/problem is that the person I bought these accounts from seems to be talking in code or something. I bought the accounts over 6 weeks ago and I still have no access to them. I won't go through the series of excuses and apologise I got from them but here is what I need to find out.
1) If I am able to change the password on one of the ebay accounts ( the one I am actually able to get into the associated gamil account with) should I do so or will that send up a red flag some where? To clarify I would be able to change the ebay password by have a link sent to the gmail account associated with it. I have been able to get into the associated gmail account.
2) If I am able to change the password without jeporidizing the account would I then be able to change other things on the account? I don't know how long to wait to change anything and I would like to do things right since I have paid $1000usd for these 2 accounts.

If someone can atleast answer these questions I would be grateful. I fell at this time I have made a mistake in trusting someone from this forum and since they are not wiling to send me my money back I just need to get this done.

1. next time use paragraphs.

2. wait a few weeks before changing the password.
don't change any info on the account after that.

who did you buy the account from?

The ebay accounts I purchased are allegedly a year or more old. Do I still need to wait 2 weeks to change the password?

I an not confirm that they are that old because I can not access them but it looks like there are emails from ebay in the gmail account that is associated with one of them.

The person I purchased these from is supposed to be helping me gain access later today by using team viewer on my laptop. We will see if that acually happens or not.

Hopefully I won't have to ask anymore questions here.

The best thing to do is wait some time to start changing stuff so eBay learns your new device. You don’t want to change the password and then start selling lots of items quickly. Even though it’s a aged account I would take things slowly

Re: Trying to get some clarification on a new eBay account I purchase here
 

you are asking wrong questions though. the only thing you should care about is whether these accounts sold any items in the last 6 months successfully and had successful payouts from ebay

if these accounts never sold anything they are toast as soon as you start selling there

I'm sure the seller sent you a detailed info on how to start with the account correct?

And I'm pretty sure he'll also help you if you have questions that's unclear.

Hopefully, questions have been addressed OP for smooth rollng

Re: Trying to get some clarification on a new eBay account I purchase here
 

So what your're saying is that there is no way to even use these accounts at all? Can you explain why that would be the case?
I did buy these from someone I would consider reputable here on the forum, but I would never do it again just based on my experiences with this purchase.
Since I am not going to get my money back I'd like to try working with what I have purchased but not if it's going to crash and burn.

nearly 100% of accounts of newly registered sellers are suspended on first listing. that is why the only thing that you should care about is whether these accounts had any sales

if they did not you have only one chance to get out of this , list your first item , wait until you get suspended , then call in and ask to reinstate

if reinstated list your second item and hope you will not be suspended again as this would be a final suspension
