Listings moved, any recommendations?

alishirazian · #1 06-29-2014

Hi guys, This is my first post here and I am a newbie on this forum. I have a Silver Powerseller account with more than 1600 feedback and 99.3% score, have over 4600 transactions with $54,000 gross since the beginning of 2014.

Today out of the blue, I realized I haven't sold any items. Logged into my eBay only to realize that all of my 52 different listings have been removed. But eBay never sent me any messages, no MC999 and no warnings. I contacted their Account Specialist on restrictions and they informed me their Seller Safety Department reviewed my account and decided to take off all my listings.

They helped me initiate an appeal, because they think there are issues with the tracking status and delivery confirmation of the sold items that can be solved. However all of my DSRs are between 4.8 and 5.0. Now that you know what my depressing situation is, do you recommend me to buy one or several eBay accounts from some members here, should I take the eBay Stealth route and purchase the book and merge over, or should I wait a few days until I get an answer on my appeal?

Your response will be highly appreciated as I am in a dark and a desperate time of my life mostly due to this incident. This was the worst time in my life that an incident like this could happen to me, going from $8,000 a month to zero. Thank you in advance.

Been there, done that........first off, even if your account gets fixed, this will happen again. My slogan is: "there are 2 kinds of ebay sellers, those that have been suspended and those that are going to get suspended."

Don't let yourself ever get in this situation again. Get the guide, the either make some account for yourself, or buy some from some sellers here.

Bottom line, is you need backups, you won't believe how much better you'll sleep!

Sorry to read that and sorry for you feeling so depressed. I was depressed in september last year then I found this place and these guys and star learning and building the few stealths I needed.

You need accounts to use and you need backups. Spreading sales among accounts works very, very well. You can build other accounts to have backups so you will never be in this situation again.

Exhamine your business and figure out what is the best solution for you. How many active accounts you need and how many backups.

Stealth needs work, study and organization but once you understand the basic of it is not that difficult.

My suggestion is buy one or more accounts so you'll be back into businness in a short time.
Get the stealth guide, read the forum and learn to make your own accounts for backup.

Buona fortuna.

Welcome,
This is nothing new to every single member of this forum. You really should pick up the Ebay stealth guide and begin learning to make new accounts.

- sad story but now is the time to rebuild and spread sales over several accounts. Learn stealth - it works.

happened to me 3 years ago making 30k a month on amazon on 1 account ... make 50 accounts like a lot pros here do with ebay . its the only way to fly and pokerpro comment was right on the money.

That is a pretty damn good slogan. So much truth in that.

I have followed something I heard Les Brown say that has stuck with me in almost everything in life. Pretty darn true with the hardships of eBay at times too.

"There are winners, there are losers and there are people who have not discovered how to win."

I want to thank each and every one of you guys for your warm welcome and sympathy. The feeling of having your business closed by eBay is somewhat close to losing a loved one.

I apologize for not being able to reply to you guys. I also wanted to thank Aspkin for all the help he's done. I honestly was in a situation that affording the $37 eBay Stealth Book was impossible for me. So I sold my car and spent the money wisely.

Purchased two legitimate 7 and 9 year old eBay and PayPal accounts from friends. Then created a stealth ebay and paypal account, and now the stealth account is up and running. But I wanted to tell you guys this, especially those members/readers who have not yet purchased the eBay Stealth. No matter how much I thought I knew, I still faced some major obstacles during the making of my stealth account.

What should have taken me a few hours, took me weeks to complete. Therefore, I convinced myself to purchase the ebook and so I did today.I reviewed and studied the important information and instructions in the book. I can now announce that I am officially a believer of the book. It has made me realize where I went wrong with my previous legit eBay account, and my new stealth eBay account.

I feel more complete and confident. I have no intention of advertising this book, however I would be more than happy to share my review on it and let the others read my feedback on the book. Also, I want to thank you guys for sharing your experiences and knowledge on this forum. I am now able to sell on eBay using multiple accounts, and make more money than I ever thought I could.

I bought the book in 2008. I only really learned one thing that I knew nothing about Flash Cookies that kept getting me kicked off. That has been worth tens of thousands of dollars to me today. You still must go through the forums and learn from other members. But the stealth guide is definitely the foundation everyone needs to know.

Thats really unfortunate bro. In the mean time until you get a response get the stealth guide and learn how eBay "works".

Definitely get a new account going, that account would be suspended again eventually from the random restrictions you received. I would recommend buying an account as it will have some history behind it to get you started, but also create your own accounts and sell on the ones you have purchased, and slowly build history on your stealth ones so you can continue multiple at once.
