Suspension message - what to do now ??

[adriano]

Hi, Friends


I just got a new account suspended.
I got only 7 products listed on that account , using a new computer / IP /Paypal , etc , real name /person ( everythink by the book , 100% clean )

The 7 products are dropships from Amazon

The message I got was :


After reviewing your eBay account, recent activity has raised serious security concerns. As a result, we've taken the following action on your account:
- Your eBay account has been suspended indefinitely.
- Item listings have been removed. A list of removed items is available further down in this email.

You won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account. Any outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file.

We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm -- however unintentionally -- to the eBay community.
Here are the listings we removed:

ciao adriano, welcome to he forum.

Those were risky items I suppose...phone or apple related?

[adriano]

Btw , I don't know wheter this is important or not , but the address on the account is NOT on US.

Is there a change that ebay got pissed by a NON-US new seller doing DropShip ??

[adriano]

Are there any rules related to DROPSHIP / Suspension ???

The headset, or any electronic, on a new account is high risk.

When are people ever going to realise this simple basic fact about eletronics and the like on new accounts, no matter how many times it crops up on here and even people who come here for the first time to supposedly find out how to open up stealth accounts, still think they can do this sometimes!!

Welcome to the forums adriano - learn about stealth - avoid high risk initial sales - build your accounts well

Gosh, gee. Do YOU think that would annoy ebay?

Of course it would.

For new account you have to slow as much as possible to sell until you pass 30 days or longer for your account not to be suspicious... Much better wait at least 90 days too.

You have to slowly build the accounts, you can't just put 7 items up and expect it not to raise concerns, espeically high risk items such as electricals.. At least you've learnt your lesson now but be more careful in the future!

Your not ready for stealth, start over from the beginning read the forum tons and tons of info or you will keep burning accounts. Arbitrage is hard on new stealths. You need to build a tiny bit of history first

Do not sell lots of stuff on new accounts. Put 1 item, with a quantity of 1. Sell, then put another item, also Qty = 1. Do that for at least a couple of months. Get 100% feedback. Then put Qty = 2 for item in the acc, sell them for a month. Then 10 items... something like that. NO NO NO for jumpstarts, as all accounts that are young, are being moderated by real people, and noone knows, will they block you or not, even if your items are nice.

It would be a nice idea as well to have several stealth accounts, that would rotate your items. So you sell Item A on account A, then sell the same on account B, then C. When you sell item A and switch to B, start selling item B on account A, then on acc B etc:

Start:

Item A -> Acc A
Item B -> Acc B
Item C -> Acc C

After something sells:

Item A -> Acc B
Item B -> Acc C
Item C -> Acc A

This is nicely described in the stealth guide, read it again. Hope this helps.

Want to be safe sell only used for first 10 items you sell. Also, have everyone in a different category. Do not withdraw until you get feedback. Ship within 24hrs, offer free shipping and start auction low with minimum 7 days.

This should help reduce limitations. Once you get a minimum of 10 feedback you can mix some low risk new with more used. You can repeat categories, however do not duplicate items.

Make sure phone works, address is good. Buy goods to increase feedback.

Once you reach 100 feedback no negatives your 21 day hold should be gone, you can list new and brand names and limits should be up between 100-500 items $5000-$10000 limits. You must have 100% feedback, no negs or neutral and then you are ready to roll.

Work on this 5-10 accounts. It takes time and not all will end up without negs....

This hold is a weird thing, for some accs it would not go for a month, for other acc it will disappear after a couple items sold.
