All of my accounts are being restricted
 

Ok, so i can set up paypal ebay accounts like a pro. iv'e earned a lot of experience and had a lot of success but nothing that lasted very long.
lately all of my ebay accounts will get restricted with all listings removed within two hours of my first listing. i can set up an account and register as a seller, and no problems until the first listing. every time i'm shut down within hours. i never had this problem in the past and can't pin it down. i haven't done anything out of the ordinary. it's all by the book.

i must have created and lost 20 accounts in the last 4 months. a lot of experience that led to good discoveries, but now it's getting old. i just need to get this stock out of here. it's been crowding my room for over a year. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Which specific notice do you get? :spy:

I can't remember what the code is for the removal of listings but it's always followed by mc999 claiming concern over recent activity. but the only activity was putting up a simple listing every time. nothing that should draw any attention as far as i can tell. it always went smoothly in the past.

They are linking you somehow. Address, IP, category or something.

Try this.

Create an account and buy something first like something cheap $0.99.
Wait till everything clears then list an item. See what happens.

It's the item your selling. List a book and see if you get banned. List a second book the second day and then the third day list 1 of your items. Do this for a few accounts and see what happens or you can always buy stuff and build trust.

try to change your network card.and if you are using wifi you can change your physical mac address manual,i gues you know how but if not then: go to ==> locala area connection ==> propreties ==> configure ==>(tab)advanced==>network address==> marke the address and type any letters and numbers then ok ok. and then change your ip address. :typing:

Yeah, the pros would recall what their notice was.

Define your method from creation to listing.

Tell me what you ate for breafast.=}

We understand the problem but we need to see why this problem is occurring, please provide more info on how process, that is needed to get help if your looking for it

2 sausage egg mcmuffins, 1 hash brown and an orange juice. my professionalism just kicked into overdrive and the codes are mc167 followed by mc999.

thanks guys for all the responses.

Here is my process as folows(the order varies):
clean computer(flash cookies too)
spoof mac
change ip
obtain a virtual phone number from inumbr which allows me to use my area code which i feel is less suspiscious
open a paypal and ebay account(bank verified paypal)
note: i usually obtain a real street address with a last name that matches in my area through whitepages.com

that should be the full process for the intial set up if i didn't forget anything. then it comes time to set up my seller account. i can set it up and agree to automated paypal billing and the account can sit like that with no problems. it's when i make that first listing that the problem arises, whether i do it right after establishing my seller account, or wait a few days to post.

that should some it up for the most part. Let me know if theres anything else you need to know though.

oh and i use gmail for my email addresses

what types of items are you trying to list? you cant put up a coach purse or an $800 laptop as you 1st listing, ebay will sniff you out in a heartbeat

video game consoles. they are a high risk item but it never gave me this kind of trouble in the past as long as i listed them one at a time and took it slow in the beginning. but unless policies have changed since then, the first listing should not send up a flag every time.

it is very hard to pinpoint the exact problem

Once I had 5 ebay accounts get suspended and I did not know why. Then after a while I realized I was listing a brand new items in the computer category as my first item. My next ebay account I listed a used watch as my first item then after 5 successful listings. I then started listing items in the computer category.

Another time it was a vpn I was using then another a local wifi I was using.

It really is trial and error until you find the problem.

Goodluck though. :peace:

and another thing is listing within a few days is not good, much better to make a seller account. let it sit 30 days or more...

Its much harder these days to sell out of the gate. Especially game consoles!
I dont sell until I have a minimum of 10 buying feedback and 3 months aged.

In my opinion your listing to fast and high risk to boot.

It is harder to list now then 6 months ago. Maybe you need an adjustment in your stradegy.

One more thing, was the account credit card verified also?

Low risk items are fine to list right away. The number company your using might be the flag and your wording in your listings might be to similar for same type of product

It would be nice to get some buying feedback on my account first but the address on my accounts arent really mine of course. how would that work? just buy super cheap items and not care where they end up?

i suppose my phone number company could be the issue. any suggestions for an alternative?

yep you broke another rule: Always have access to the address. Get a mailbox at the least.

yeah i figured p.o. boxes were out of the question. they just seem suspiscious to me. it would be nice to use a friends address but i just don't feel like dragging anybody into my mess. i'll have to see what i can come up with for that problem.

If you rent a UPS mailbox the address could appear like an apartment address and you can pick up the goods that you are buying.

1. Why are you cleaning your computer when you should make a new user account to ensure everything is compartmentalized correctly?
2. Don't spoof your mac. That is detectible and not necessary.
3. Attach a Gvoice number to your inumbr and use the Gvoice #. iNumbr #'s are re-used and it is possible someone has used a butt-ton of inumbrs before.

What about the VCC you use I see no mention of what you are using,,
