I dont care if I get that MC message. Everything I log into a ebay account I dont brace myself for anything, that feeling of despair is long gone.

you took my words the wrong way. no despair here. its all excitement for me!!!

[pokerpro]

Amen to that! I used to get that feeling also, but now, it's more of a.... "Is that the best you can do? I 'aint afraid of you guys" feeling!

Not to get weepy, but stealth has literally changed my life!

I second that. There is nothing more rewarding to know you beat the system..

No matter how much that try to combat us, we are usually one step ahead.

Not sure how long its been like this, but since I've been on this forum thats been the case!

I am thinking it is a category and log-in time link. I had two accounts closed with the infamous MC999, claiming suspicious activity. I keep logs for my accounts, including the times they are logged in to,IP, category searches, and more. The only similarity I found was the times logged in and the categories I viewed/listed into. Over the past week I accidentally logged into these two accounts one after the other, in the same order, after the one was logged out of. I can only assume it was the categories I looked at on each account along with the log out of one account then logged into the next, continuing that pattern 5 days in a row. They are trying to get smarter. RIP Jessica & Denver. We had a good run.

I got another account shut down today. They pulled up a list of the majority of my selling history over the past couple months and gave me the boot.

2 other accounts just had listings removed. Buy it Now makes a difference vs auction. Auction is safer.

[rayraymond1218]

No doubt. Auction is much safer and I move more items with auction style but sometimes they would end 10-15 lower compared to the average sales price and sometimes they end at much higher price. same product same ending time on different accounts, I'm assuming ebay is hiding people's listings

Yes they are high risk.

also got the boot surprisingly recently on 1. holiday security in full effect

[anderman]

Is Auctions really safer than Buy now? I cannot use auctions since my items are not fast moving so there will not be a lot of bidding on them.

man they have REALLY beefed up security. I can forget about listing in certain categories.

I took a big hit and lost a handful of accounts. Really need to stay extra cautious this time of year.

Yes in my experience with higher risk items auctions are absolutely safer, though you can still most certainly get a policy violation even with auctions.

Yes BIN is great but I won't use it until my account has paypal holds lifted and eBay limits increased

After you pass that level of trust than I'll list BIN, But on new accounts it's good to run 5or 7 day auctions

If your running a new account and have a BIN listing and have 5 sales in a day it raises flags and gets u shut down

[Cracker100]

Yes they have, I lost my last 2 today as well.

You see a difference between 3 day auctions and 5 or 7 day auctions? Interesting. I've thought of it, but was never really sore.

[Dmshark25]

EBay doesn't like to see quick sales, so if your pushing 1 day auctions and getting too many sales quickly on new accounts it triggers security measures and can restrict your account from selling

The first 3 months it's always good to go slow and 5 or 7 day auctions are the safest

[Nadia.Nadia]

there are 2 kind of MC999, the one with 48 hours ( call them they will reactivate your account after few simple questions about your item.

the 2nd MC999 suspended, means the name and the address did not match on the public records, if the name and the address match and they did not have any Ebay account before then you will get good results without any MC999.

the key factor here is the public records.....if your data is good...they will let you sell.

Some guys try to be slicky by buying this info from hackers online, FIRST it it 100% ILLEGAL, 2nd think about how many ppl tried to use the same info to open Ebay or PayPal account.

you have 3 ways:
1- try to open Ebay account with name and address match along with zip code for the phone number. ask your friend or your relative if your own details suspended before on Ebay.
2- Try any other Ebay Market not the US
3- go illegal and you will operate your account from behind bars

My main selling medium is Amazon where my account is in good standing perfectly legal with my real info. Never had a problem and my products sell a bit higher there than on ebay (more returns to but let me not get started on that). I list a few items on ebay on BIN that I cant sell on Amazon - Items with issues or for parts - The items range between $30 - $120 and I only sell about 4-10 per account in a 7 day week so I have had no issues with BIN.

[exxomscp]

Half of my listings are being taken down probably due to the fact that I'm just listing them around the same time. Out of two listings, one remains and sells, different categories, one of them randomly gets taken down for whatever reason. Still doing okay this month, but kind of a bummer as I know I should be doing better.

I also notice the more paranoid buyers are coming out of the woodwork. Buyers seem to be questioning that everything is a scam. Lol.

[dealagreeproceed]

YES, the morons are comen out the woodworks. my gosh woke up to a few negs on diff accts literally made no sense. its like folks are just pissed for no reason. havent changed biz plan whatsoever n everything been good then randomly recently idiots start comen outa nowhere complaining about things that if they would have took the time to read they would have known.

Is it really hard to literally read one sentence...

[rsot]

Will get worse for holiday season :(

[qantum]

I created 7 today. 2 acc get MC999, 2 acc get 5/500, 2 acc get 10/1000 and 1 acc get 500/25000.

I have never created any account that has the limit more than 10/1000 before.

I feel scared a little bit if I lost it. Does anyone know how to keep the acc in good standing with high limit at the beginning?
