Just got this today.
''Your ebay account was suspended because recent account activity has
raised serious security concerns.We've taken this precaution to protect other
members...
You won't be able to use ebay in any way.This includes using another existing account or registering a new one.

My account was Stealth( at least i think so) opened few months ago.
I do have another account that got MC999 i think(i can use that for buying only) Yesterday i listed an Artistic antique hand made item.Price was 120$.
This would be my first sell(and last i guess)

I also changed my country and tel number yesterday to get the PIN.

Do you think ebay somehow linked my other accounts?
I hope you can help!

Changing your country was a BIG time change in paypals eyes, plus number as well.
First sale was not a good idea. Antiques is a very bad move for a forst sale not to mention the $120 sale.
You will have to start again and proceed with no links whatsoever and stay away from antiques, at least in the beginning.
Its a slow process but cheap and cheerful in the beginning is how you should be starting.

You have the stealth guide. Read it like its a best seller novel thats come out

Scour the forum religiously and start again from scratch.
Good luck....it can be done

This pretty much tells you this account is dead.

Dufus · #5 12-15-2014

Thanks guys! Yes the account is dead.....but is it because of linking or because of the item or country changed?
My other account still works....paypal is ok.

john007 · #6 12-15-2014

we will not know exactly but we could assume, yes it could be the ip country change.

rsot · #7 12-15-2014

Tough to conclude just based on this info. 1 thing is that you are listing a higher price item as first sale...which is risky.

I do not know enough info about your account SETUP to determine if you are operating well via stealth. Be clear with your steps:

How are you creating your account?

Probably a combination of all three.
Make new accounts - one pp to one eb
Dont make any sudden changes. Changing countrys is a massive change that would probably see anyone limited or suspended
List low value used items. Get ebays trust and then in the future you will be able to list more of your own stuff. But now, it is definately not a good time.

rsot · #9 12-15-2014

I replied on your other thread - please don't make multiple posts on the same topic from now on...check the other thread as well

Bunneh · #10 12-15-2014

If you change to much info all at once it causes flags on your account.

How long did you wait before listing when you changed the country?

Dufus · #11 12-15-2014

I changed country at the same time as I listed the item.
I know listing expensive items is risky but I can't belive
EBay terminates accounts because of that?
Another thing,they didn't list the item after 3-4 hours
So I looked up the item number from my other buy only account.
Maybe this is not important.

Yes they do.. Peoples accounts DO get hacked and then they change country, phone numbers etc.. list a high risk high value item it looks suspicious.

Well I used the account only from my mobile.
IP is different.Changed the name and address a
bit.
Added new visa with my real name of course.
New PayPal with new email.

I forgot this was my second listed item.
I actually bidded from my restricted account

Bidding from a restricted account is ultimately shill billing.
You are creating a link.
That is not stealth

Believe it.......

Dufus · #17 12-15-2014

Ok guys it seems i need to go Full Stealth.
New card,new paypal,new email,new IP.
Should i use my own name and address but change few letters? Would this work?

No it wouldnt work.
EVERYTHING needs to be different.
New name and perhaps look into rentable mailboxes for an address.

pokerpro · #19 12-16-2014

Think witness protection..........EVERYTHING, with the exception of your computer needs to be new and different.....

Dufus · #20 12-16-2014

Could this be related to the fact that i was buying lots of 0.01$ recipes?
Also i just noticed most of the recipes i bought are now removed from ebay.
