New Information about linking

[nothappyjan]

Today I spoke to Trust and Safety. Amazingly there is a voice behind their button pressing staff.

I confirmed from the horses mouth the following:

Ebay are linking verification phone numbers and suspending people for having the same phone number

Ebay are linking Paypal accounts to Ebay accounts and suspending accounts. They have now made it compulsory to have a paypal account when signing up

Ebay are linking photos and IP's and even email address providers and suspending users linked with certain providers

Ebay are also linking passwords and suspending accounts with similar passwords


I do hope that this helps us to further decode Ebay and get back on. I am ready retaliate and get back on Ebay without their knowledge


:D

Uhm Yes, we already know of all that. But thank you for your post..

I really dont blame Ebay, they are just doing their job and protecting their site

Yeah this is all old news, but maybe some of our newer members will benefit from seeing it anyhow. BTW the only email address providers they "link" accounts by are the ones that are not ubiquitous like gmail or yahoo.. However if I had something like koalawash@paypalmustdie.com that would be a different matter.

:p :D ;) :rolleyes:

Well, that's all known. The passwords thing well I once asked if ebay linked passwords and people said no. Then someone claimed they might. Now you got proof. How did you get ahold of a real person?

Okay, now how is it compulsory to have a paypal account when signing up? Not as a buyer I don't think.

If you find a new free email service that's great, don't use it for ebay. Once one person using that gets suspended, they all will. I found that out on my own.

That's true! I only stick to the tried-and-true standbys that they're pretty much forced to accept.
