All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Hello everybody!
I do all like it is written in the ebay stealth book now more then 4 years and had no problems. Of course the accohngs were suspenden after some months but I made alsways new ones and that was not such a big problem. 2 weeks ago all my 6 ebay steelth accounts were suspended in the same day. After that i made 10 new ebay stealth accounts and they were all suspended within 2 days. Some of them even did not had any listing and I just made them to rest. Mostly the reason was MC153 and I couldnt find anywhere what this code means. Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

I have a lot of experience with eBay and I cannot remember ever seeing an MC153. What did the notice say? Obviously, SOMETHING is linking ytour accounts, so you should start with that. If you can let us know what the MC153 said, we can probably be of more help.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Something is wrong with your account creation methods, so you are most likely getting linked. Please describe in details, how do you create them.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Also, are you sure it was not an MC113???

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Never heard of a code MC153 before either.
Are you doing everything properly? Using new user accounts, proper IP solution, etc etc?
Something is getting you linked. We need more details to figure out what that is.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

yep, go over your stealth method and we will tell you where you went wrong

I just checked all the emails and my first 6 accounts were suspended with the 113 Code and after that I made around 10 new stealth accounts and all got within 2 - 3 days suspended with the 153 code. I made them all in ebay.de and it is written in German. But they write in the email, that because of security reasond my account is suspended. This is writte also in the accounts that I even didnt list anything.

I do it for 4 years now and had never problems.
New User Account - New Ip Address - New Phone Number - New Home Address and Name - New Credit Card.

I really dont know what has happened with ebay. I just hope it isnt because ebay and paypal got separate that they suspend now more accounts then befor.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

I hate to say it, but it cannot be due to the split. Or, it is unlikely at least. If one or two accounts went down, then maybe. But you lost over 15 accounts in a short period of time, which tells me they have linked them all somehow, or there is another major issue in the way you are doing it.

Did anything on your PC change right before this happened? Did you by any chance turn on the SYNC function in your browser? What type of VPN service are you using? Are they all static and dedicated?

There are other things that could have caused this as well, but these possibilities are the first ones that popped into my head...

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

well, we don't know exactly when or what improvements are made with their detection systems.

nothing looks abnormal with that method… possibly your IP blocks are banned?

maybe try to limit similarities in behaviors? I alter my technique just about monthly

speed of clicks is bit of an important factor as of recently

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Oh
this mean stealth account are also not working any more ..?

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

What fo you nean with speed of clicks? And where can I see if the sync of my browser is switched on? Thank you

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Are all your IPs on the same few subnets? Did you block flash? IP leaks via WebRTC? Are using the same kind of browser for each account (Same user agent)? Same last name on the accounts? Did you create many accounts in a relatively short period of time?

Some of the technical ways to get busted. You're going to have to go into a bit more detail to discern your issue. You have to keep in mind that ebay's using bots, bots programmed by software guys that look at these details, and properly programmed bots never miss a detail and are never wrong. (Probably especially true of .de)

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Did you create these accounts all German? .DE sometimes is very strict about non-DE guys registering at .DE website.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Where can I block the flash? I was using all the time Chrome. Yes I made them in a short period but the old 6 accounts they had no problems but the limited code is different. For the new accounts it is MC153. Maybe they have linked me. I will use from now on the Firefox Portable Browser.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Would it have been the time space of making all of the accounts? You said yourself they were all made quickly, and I've never heard of an MC153, only ones are MC113 and MC999 which are the standard ones.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Is flash still a problem even when creating new user accounts?

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Flash comes packaged in Chrome hence you are able to view flash enabled websites even though you don't install the main Flash on your computer. It's very important that whatever browser you use, learn to separate the flash cookies by creating new user accounts on your computer for each account that you are running. I prefer FireFox because I can also disable the WebRTC function that can detect your real IP even if you are using a VPN. WebRTC cannot be disabled on Chrome at this time...

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Could it be your emails? We're images turned off? Chrome is also not a good browser in my opinion because of googles constant snooping. I use Firefox with no plugins installed and none of my accts ever get suspended because of linkage.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

So if your using a new user account you dont need to turn off flash or do anything with flash right?

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

Yes, User Accounts separate browser cookies including Flash cookies. The only thing you need to do is get a good source of IP for your stealth account.

Re: All my ebay stealth accounts suspended!
 

The problem with flash is IP leaks, just like webRTC. Disable it. Newest versions of chrome do this and there's a plugin for firefox. Different user accounts won't prevent IP leaks.

Also, disable remote images in emails (Leaks IP). Thunderbird (I use it) does this default and it's a great way to manage many different email accounts.

I suggest using VMware, and having each account as a separate VM.
