Wow, you must of been doing something messed up big time for that to happen, like using same ip, same address, I've made 100 buyer accounts before so i know it's pretty tough for that to happen unless your using same ip/repeat ip's or same/similar account sign up info.

He said on the first page that he was recycling IP's from a public VPN. Most likely the reason for the link.

You guys must do a ton of buying to need 100 buyer accounts...

I do not see where he said VPN at all. Just public IPs so any mobile device could be that.

He did link all his accounts financially by gifting funds and withdrawing from just a few accounts. That is death to accounts.

Sleeper accounts left to age would be a better term, only really need 1 account for buying.

There's no point in aging buyer accounts because eBay only cares until the moment you turn into a seller account...

You right yankee, my bad. I sometimes forget Public IP does NOT mean public VPN, haha.

How though? I've never had a buyer account get in any trouble, and I only have one. Are you in the business of scamming sellers?

How about learning to QUOTE correctly.

Include the name of the posted being quoted not your inaccurate code.

Your last post suggests openly you think yankee is not above board.

As I have known yankee for a long time, I take exception to your carelessness.

rsot · #32 01-03-2016

OP, your operations have multiple issues - public IPs, gift cashout methods, similar listings of same items for sale....all can lead to linking. Learn proper stealth

You can have a 5yr old buying account but it means nothing once it gets converted to a sellers account, 21 day holds apply, and so do category limits.

Older accounts are stronger in other ways besides the obvious.

I was having trouble understanding why you need backups since I've never had any problems with a buying account. But don't worry about it, it's no big deal.

@GB I clearly wasn't accusing yankee of anything since I was responding to what someone else said. My coding isn't shoddy, I just suck at bbcode or whatever this is. So you are aware, I used the "QUOTE" button in the WYSIWYG editor, which automatically wrapped quote tags around the text I selected. You can call it careless, but I just clicked a button.

There was no option to add a name. Sorry.

Me neither, these aren't for buying, they're future seller accounts.

phaz0rz · #38 01-03-2016

That contradicts everything you've said up to this point, lol. Makes perfect sense now.

brandnewboss · #39 01-03-2016

A buyer account, aka sleeper, is what most people refer to an account that hasn't been turned into a seller yet, doesn't mean their sole purpose is to buy with it lol.

When you use the Quote here, the name needs to be on the post, for obvious reasons. Been the method since the start of the forum.

Copy and paste should work for next time. Will take extra moments but should suit everyone reading what you post

why would you cheap out on a vpn?

I'm pretty sure that one confusion with the "buyer account" part is that it hasn't been turned into a seller account yet. I'm pretty sure that there is no point in aging an account that you have made into a seller account. The aging process doesn't begin until you list an item for sell, even if it's set as a buyer account for 5 years.

There's other factors involved besides just selling limits and holds, having an account older than 30 days has always been a good thing regardless of whether it's been turned into a seller yet or not.
