tbone | 05-05-2008 11:03 AM | how much time to wait before making a new account? This is probably a dumb question already asked and answered elsewhere, but after an hour of looking on this forum I can't find it, so I'm gonna let it fly here and see what happens. Here's the deal: I was thrown off eBay for selling "questionable" items. We went back and forth (eBay and me) about being reinstated, and they just today told me that I was being booted permanently "with no plans for future reinstatement" or something like that. Basically I'm out for good. Long story short, is, I was booted for selling the same stuff a couple of years back- faxed my ID, etc to them, along with a statement saying under penalty of perjury, etc I wouldn't do it again, they let me back on, and slowly I got greedy again and started slipping the same items back into my eBay repertiore. So I got bumped again, and I guess after doing a history search on me they realized I had been warned already about this, so hense the decision to permanently give me the axe. I think I've got enough information here to get back in the game with a new/bogus account and fly under the radar for a little while, but the question I have for you guys is, my wife and kids like to play around on eBay some too, doing stuff that's on the up-and-up, not affiliated with my borderline/questionable stuff. My question is this: what if my wife wants to set up a new account? She has a separate bank account, e-mail address, cell phone number, etc. and can get her own acct. up and running without any problem- the only thing is, we have the same home address. At what point can she set up an account without it raising the obvious warning bell? 30 days? 60 days? zero days? Never? Surely someone here has this same type of thing happen. I just want the rest of the family to be able to do stuff on eBay without having to do any kooky stuff like I'm going to have to do to get back in the game.
Thanks for all the info you guys share here, it is appreciated. |
