1 month old account got hit with MC-999
 

I opened this account a little more than a month ago, using my business info. I started listing a few books. Last 3 days, the account is a about 1 month old, started listing about $15k per day and sells about $1.5k per day. About 2 hours ago I got am email saying that my account has been suspended. I called them and they told me there is nothing they can do. I have been suspended a couple times before, but I keep opening new accounts. I am too tired with this. A customer told me that he bought his account from Askin about 7 years ago and it’s still working.

I want to get back to sell on eBay. Probably a stealth account. I have 2 phones, 2 laptops, vpn. If that helps.

Start reading the stealth guide first...

After you read the stealth guide ENTIRELY, go to ipburger for a residential IP and ditch your so called VPN

You are going too fast too soon and you are seen as a threat to eBay, even though they give you big listing amounts you start small gain their confidence, $10l a week sales is a threat on an unseasoned account. If you want to sell bulk open 10 stealth accounts or you will be be going around in circles and blaming eBay all the time.

Hi SaiJin. I bought the guide and read it. Here’s my situation & my plan. Please give me some suggestions:

I buy and sell from eBay a lot. Sometimes buy more than sell. I use different accounts to buy and sell. The selling account is banned (I have another account that I can sell from but it belongs to my friend, I don’t want to use his account). I asked around and my cousin agreed to let me use her 1 year old selling account. Everything is under her name & address.

My plan: I’ll keep using my ebay account for buying on my laptop with my home wifi as normal. I’ll create a new user on my laptop and and buy an Ip from ipburger. I’ll log in and list items to my cousin’s account from the new user with ip from ipburger.

Let me know what you think.

you moved too fast ! do you use program to list items?

Re: 1 month old account got hit with MC-999
 

make your own stealth backup accounts as well

I would suggest not to use V P N at present, better to hotspot you cell phone and switch of every time you use it on each account so a new IP address is produced. EBay is getting wise to V P N even residential ones and are suspending them soon if not immediately after creation.

The problem could be the listing you created first
What type of product it was?
If you got MC999 it wasnt newbie suspencion so you surpassed the initial checks, imho you triggered some "warning" when listing products
