mc999 as soon as the account opens.
 

Morning peeps.

I got a little situation here. I have 3 stealth accounts that are all running perfect (apart from 1 which recently had a limitation due to making £1900, sent I'd off and got limit lifted). Because I like to collect things and know its useful to keep extra accounts I bought another off a recommended seller on here last night. (Now I have no reason to blame the seller as was really helpful and I know from the forums is a trusted seller)

The account I bought was a new seller account. I paid and he sent the new details.

About half hour after seller sent I logged in. I cleared all my cookies and everything in chrome, connected to my neighbours WiFi (she's 80ish struggles to get her emails and I asked if she's ever used eBay. She said what's that? BINGO!!). then to cover my ocd I re cleared cookies ect/ logged in and boom 999 warning. Wanting me to call up within 48 hours or they close the account.

Emailed seller who says strange it was OK 5 mins ago ....... As he's a nice guy he sent me a second account which was nice. I left this newest account about a hour while looking on here to see if I could see my mistake. Logged into the emails first and there was no emails. GREAT. I was logged on to my wifi which is BT. I used a different device cleared everything checked IP had changed. Brill. Logged into second new account BOOM. MC999.

Thought right this is risky but gonna try it. Cleaned IP once agin , cleaned device and logged into an existing account and fine. Woke up this morning with the same account with a sale, only 4.99 so low cost item and a message from eBay........ Great I thought that's my account out the window but it was a sales increase.

So where is the problem? I've ran these 3 accounts for about 6 month and I'm carful now 2 warnings in a hour of a brand new account. Please help.

Did you try to sell straight away on the new accounts?

Re: mc999 as soon as the account opens.
 

You might want to call up on the first account, usually if they ask to talk within 48 hours they give the softball questions.
You need to create a new user account on your machine and then you should build up a browsing and bidding history on your machine so eBay has some history with you and your new cookies.
Is a bank and CC attached to the PayPal account? That has tripped me up in the past and triggered MC999.

All of this to say, this is coming from running accounts from the US.

Yes as fox says try giving them a ring, I done that twice yesterday and both accounts reinstated and one had a lift on limits today as well

Re: mc999 as soon as the account opens.
 

No I bought the account and as soon as I signed it it was already there. Think with talking to the seller its been the missing bank acc.

Re: mc999 as soon as the account opens.
 

Are you creating new windows user accounts for each eBay account? eBay doesn't like it when you keep deleting cookies.

please try to use VPS

Re: mc999 as soon as the account opens.
 

Please stop your stupid replies.

VPS is not needed for this UK account.

Are you spamming the forum with silliness?

It sounds like you are only clearing cookies and not making a new user account...you would be linked that way...can you confirm?

when you buy a new seller account, you should ease it into activity...browse and bid first

Re: mc999 as soon as the account opens.
 

I get what your saying but it was AS SOON as I signed in for the 1st time. You can't browse and ease in if you get a warning on your 1st log in. Think I'm sorted. Seller thinks its because no bank was linked.

Thanks.

Nothing to do with that.

Re: mc999 as soon as the account opens.
 

Dont log in right away especially if the seller was on the account before sending over the info. Wait 2-3 days and browse ebay's web before signing in
