Re: It's raining MC999s
 

Yea there are different types of messages too, one that inclines you were reported by other members.

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

Selling other lower-cost items and things are working out partially (just have to sell double as much), but still coming across an MC999 every now and then.

Seem to get caught in the middle of a ban wave every once in a while. Seems to come up whenever they choose to review a huge list of accounts.

I can't see how anyone can keep a stealth operating under these conditions. If Ebay is clamping down this hard on sellers this holiday season, they must really be losing a lot of money.

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

Its why you should be multiple accounts up and running. We might have lost some accounts but not have lost all accounts. After this season things will get back to normal.

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

This is my first holiday season selling hard on ebay. Does ebay ease up right after holidays (january), or do you have to wait until february before it really settles?

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

It seems the first couple,weeks,of,January they do some after holiday cleaning and axe a lot of Accounts

Keep a couple accounts off to the side if possible and don't even use them for the holiyday

I created ten accounts this week, and all but 2 of them got the MC999 of death. I have been creating stealth accounts since 2010, this is the worst I have ever seen it. I'm not listing high risk items, just cheap cell phone accessories. The most expensive item I listed was a $4 dollar cell phone case. I even used a couple of aged accounts and attempted to sell cheap stuff in other categories, same thing. It all depends, my wife made 6 stealth accounts this week and only 1 got the MC999, and she was selling high risk items like cell phones and a used laptop.

You taught your wife Stealth too well, now she is better than you ;)

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

I would never lost in the first week after creating an account.

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

Lost loads to mc999 also can only be time of year my tactics are spot on all year round this is only on new acc mind regardless of age, established feedbacked before November 1st are all ok .

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

Sorry, that was supposed to read " would never LIST (an item) in the first week after creating an account"

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

nodeal, I truly think it's something you're doing that is linking the accounts. I must be. The only way I get suspended is when I have below selling standards for 30+ days.

Now PayPal is a different story. I'm getting limited left and right over there. :surrender:

I must be linking those accounts somehow...

Re: It's raining MC999s
 

I got today one MC999 message on a 2 weeks stealth account. I listed a couple of cheap music cds which sold, and today I felt confident in listing a sport jersey for $99
Guess that was my stupid error. But come on folks, what do they expect? People try to make money, business there. How come they close accounts because of the amount of items. Like if holding our money for 21 days was not enough. I was working in the same computer with different users. Call me paranoid but from
Now on will have one computer per account. I was even using a new ebay account with and old paypal account a friend lent me ( which she had no intention to ever use or cared to loose if it ever happened) I will not be defeated by ebay.
