Multiple accounts idea
 

Before I moved out of my parents house all 5 of us had a ebay account that had the same address but different names. We all had the same IP address also. If I make stealth accounts that made it look like it was from the same family but different phone numbers and they sold different things like one person sold electronics and another person sold house hold items would this raise a flag? I am not going to make them all at once. They would be made at certain times.

It does sound like it would work but to be honest, going stealth is even better, why? because if you have the same item, you can sell them across multiple accounts. It's best not too have anything similar in my opinion.

That is true. However I do think it would work well. Right now I have 5 people who use the same ip in my parents house (I used to be one of them). When my account was limited they limited my mothers account also. After she called and talked to them that she was not linked to my account in a very convincing conversation they lifted it from my mothers account and my fathers account. I feel like if a problem were to come up like this again if I made ⊗⊗⊗⊗ family members that I could easily get out of it. That is just my thought proccess. All the ebay accounts used the same Ip and Address.

If you use the same address, same ip, same anything it will get caught in time.

Plus you are risking all the other members of your families accounts.

Time to get your own way to have your own ip that no one else can access.

Go stealth and operate several stealth accounts keeping your family info, address, ip out of it completely.

If you're planning on selling more than the selling limit across these accounts that are from the same "family," Ebay might see it as your "household" is trying to get around their limits for sellers and end up suspending all the accounts, especially now with the holiday season coming up.

Ebay just needs a reason to suspend you, and they won't think twice before doing it. Actually, they probably won't even think at all because you'll likely be auto-banned. I wouldn't waste the time doing it and just go stealth.
