Can eBay link images from a suspended account?
 

I had one of my accounts suspended which had about 100 items recently listed. I was wondering if eBay could link the images if I relist the items on my other account with the same images. These are not stock images, they were manually photographed by my photographer. The account was closed due to a denied invoice I had uploaded for an expensive item I had sold in the past. Please let me know your thoughts.

Also would like to know if I can get linked from using the eBay app on the same phone that I was logged in on a suspended account. From my experience most of my accounts were suspended due to invoices but I haven’t experienced linked IPs or using the eBay app or anything of that nature. I have even heard other people using multiple accounts under one IP. I’ve been doing stealth for years and eBay seems to have changed some ways of linking accounts. I think it’s because more people use eBay it would be unreasonable to link accounts with old tactics. Just my thought.

Yes they can link images, clean the metadata with something like Batch Purifier before re-using.

Yes, they can link you via the app, that's the easiest link you could ever offer them. It can never be re-used.

Yes they can link you, if is a new account you are setting up I recommend to do self generated images of the product. When you are up and running for a while and the account is stable stock images are OK to use. As Old Tom also said if you use the previous images you have to delete the metadata on them so they will not be linked.

Yes,technology has changed the way we do things-
Back in old days,we can bid on our own auction,then Ebay said no more.
Sellers would still try by using another ID,so Ebay will make phone call and find both IDs belonged to the same person.
Then Ebay used cookies,now they use IP address,bla bla bla.
Like Murdered by Ebay said -think like a truck driver,what would you list first?
Not high priced digitals,but look around your house,there must be something others want.
