Suspended- recent activity has raised serious security concerns
 

Hello,
I opened several stealth accounts last year on September, I let them ageing until the last few days.
In the last few days I finally verified their paypal accounts and listed my first item.
most of the accounts got suspended within a few hours after I listed my first listing.
The reason for the suspension is: "After reviewing your eBay account, recent activity has raised serious security concerns."

I'm trying to understand what did I do that resulted the suspension.
As I read in Israeli forums, I saw that this is common suspension that happens to a lot of people, and eBay never explains the reason, they just say "Security concerns".

I operated according to the stealth basics- new Ip's, user accounts, email images disabled, new cc's, new images.

I am selling drop shipping items from China, I listed those drop shipping items in the suspended accounts.
I don't think that those items are Vero, because I sell them in other aged accounts successfully
Is this the reason of the suspension? eBay can see that I send the items from China instead of Israel, because I mention it in the item location, maybe they don't like it.
Or maybe the suspensions caused by a link? If it is, I can't find the way that I was linked.

What do you think that caused the suspensions?

Collectible items from China

Well, I guess they are marked as high-risk in ebay classification system, as there can be concerns about their authenticity, especially, if you say they are from China. Trying to list several high-risk items at once in a young account usually causes a suspension. High risk items are for established accounts.

China is counterfeit central, anything coming from their have the Ebay eyes watching it. Not a wise choice for first items. You would have been better to just sell household items, few things from around your home that you no longer use. If you don't have many things from home you also try the shops near you that sell low cost everyday type of items, the kind of things a new seller on Ebay might sell.

You have left it a good 6 months as well before you activate these accounts, that is to long really to leave accounts with no action on them. Stocking these accounts with items from China just like you did in your previous suspended accounts woukd be enough definately to get Ebay looking at your accounts.

By the way, accounts start to age only after the first sale. So the best way to start stealth accs is to sell something not so risky, or put 1 item at max. I sell high risk items, I do not sell more than 1-2 of them in the first month on each account.
