My Story
 

I gravitated towards this site almost 2 years ago after my Powerseller account went down for being linked to a suspended account.

I went through a few other accounts being suspended. I neglected some of the advice concerning IP addresses and phone numbers.

After reasing EBay Stealth, I got it more down pat where I am more succesful in sales than when I had one account.

My tips:

1. If you sell VERO items, less is more. If I sold 10-12 items a day, I would burn through the account in a month and end up being suspended. These days, I have 10 accounts and run auctions on six of them on a day. So I'm selling the same amount of items as before and fly underneath the radar of a T&S pulldown of listings.

2. I swear by Vumber. Easisest for verification on Ebay and PayPal.

3. IP link is the issue when the name, address, or phone is similar. If the names. phone, and address are each different, less chances you get linked.

4. Cool the engines. If I get hit with an MC-19 or VERO notice, i shut down the account and cool it for a while, at least 3 months. Like I say, fly underneath the radar.

I can not stress how EBay stealth is worth to buy. It doesn't have all the answers, but it gets you in a position to live a succesful EBay career after suspension.

Awesome post ary. Very good information and keep us posted if you can come with any other good stratagies! I love the stealth book!

Good stuff arysmith, I'm glad you're having success with your new eBay accounts. Keep it going!

wedge just be careful, make sure to delete all cookies and change ip addy and flash cookies. Those seem to be the main things that are linking people these days. Good luck and enjoy getting back on! :)

Delete all cookies, change ip addresses, and as they have said on this site, open a new account a day and have them seasoned before selling. And when you start selling, don't start selling 10-20 items a day. If you do, you are cooked.

I'm up and rolling, have been for two months now, after reading the Stealth book and FAITHFULLY following every single stinking rule. I look back at how stupid I was when my account was suspended the first time and I tried to get back on without a clue.
What a joke.
To anyone reading this and not being convinced just yet to pay for the Stealth book....do it already!!! It really and truly does work. I've got three different accounts up and running auctions, two I sell off of every day, building up that feedback slowly but surely and one I buy with. It is soooo good to be back.

I'd also say don't use internet explorer as it tends to bury multiple cookies in a maze of folders so there's sometimes an old one left over. On other browsers there are even buttons at the top with some extensions that with one click, cookies are deleted.

Just wondering, how do you manage to log in and out of them when checking your items, if your IP is the same? Do you change your IP everytime you log on? If so, how?

Also, do you have a different bank acc for every ebay / paypal account? Having the same one would have ebay suspending all of them right?

Johnny_88, you keep asking basic questions. You need to either spend a lot more time reading, to find the answers yourself, or purchase the ebook. The answers are here in the forum, but the ebook has everything together.

I dont want to purchase the book because i only need help on 1/10 of the process, that being the IP adress dilema. From all my research the past 24 hours, no one has explained how to renew IP with high speed cable and with no router. How is that basic?

Johnny I PMed you.

Johnny88 I wonder the same question about IP and I have purchased the book and read it diligently...... anybody out there know?

Does the VPN thing work 100% and how?

Thanks,
NOOB

I've pointed you to the 2008 EBay Suspension Guide (Basic Step-by-Step) thread many times. If you had gone there, you would have seen this:
If you had followed that link, you would have found a nice sticky at the top that says: Sticky: READ THIS If You Have A Cable Modem - IP ADDRESS
It seems to me that that would answer your question.
