Everything I did step by step

I got a new phone and phone number. (Refurbished iPhone 7 only connected to my main phone hotspot until the sim card arrived in the mail, but never downloaded the eBay app. Carrier is boost mobile, only using to receive sms codes and call eBay.

Old laptop that got suspended on eBay before but I completely wiped it and reinstalled windows 10 and downloaded chrome

Used a residential IP, private a not blacklisted on any sites, but on whoer.net it's says im 100% anonymous and that it's a residential IP but when I got to IP burger it says im in New York ( I live im two states over) and that my IP type is hosting. Which site is right? I went 6 ip checker sites including whoer.net and 5/6 says im anonymous and I have a residential up but IP burger says im in a different state and the ip type is hosting.

Used a UPS box as an address with my business name on it and use suite instead of #123
So like:

ABC Goods
123 Main St
Suite #123

Got a Buissness Bank that has the UPS box as the address

Signed up on eBay as a business and waited a day before listed a book for $10 no stock images, and used exif cleaner. (Diary of a wimpy kid) got some views then suspended...called in they asked questions answered them then they asked do I have a supplier and I said no, that's probably really suspicious for a business but I don't I just resell stuff from Walmart, target macy's etc. After a few min they said the suspension was permanent.

So...
Did then UPS box that get me suspended?

Is it because I made a business account and waited to list, most new eBay users that make a business list immediately right? Should've I jumped straight in instead of wating.

Could I got unlucky and got a banned number?

Blacklisted IP?

Maybe the book? Such a basic thing for a business account huh?

Where did I F up? Going on 2 years of studying this forum and getting the stealth book and still don't know what I did wrong.

I kept telling people that the majority of providers out there don't give you what they say they'll give you so this could and will attribute to issues down the road.

About items if I were to do this in your shoes and I absolutely wanna go and be super anal about it, I'll find something from a dollar store and sell at $5 or even $10 . do that the first week, get good feedback, 2nd week increase the volume, 3rd week, then 4th week then 5th week still do the same but add that expensive item .

So it's a total build up that requires a lot of patience and try not to be too anxious and stressed out.

You have the stealth guide I see , so just use the steps in there on how to change IP and make note on a pad each time that IP is used.

Your Activity Pattern was not good. That's why you always got suspended.
You should check a few things before creating a stealth account.

Below are bad account creation practices:

1) Using IP address in a different state than the account is in.
2) Using an IP address that gets detected as a VPN/Proxy.
3) Using a phone number that is in a different state than the account is in.
4) Using OLD addresses very frequently.
5) Use the SAME phone service for every account which says: "The
subscriber you have dialed is not in service" when you call it!
6) Always listing the same items and using stock photos from Google images
or manufacturer's websites. 7) Allowing yourself to get fingerprinted with
the browser you are using to create the account, and also getting
detected as hiding/disguising your fingerprint & other identifying items
during the account creation.

Now you need to brainstorm and find a solution. I cannot disclose all method. It's against my business. I have only gave you some hints.
Sorry for my bad English.

Change your mindset.

Again, if you can't afford IPburger use the stealth guide method to change your IP. You'll know when IPburger becomes a necessity.


And keep coming back here and read other people's posts.
If you really want to educate yourself of what's current I'm sure I didn't need to tell you this.

It's just how bad you want it and if you're gonna do something about it the right way

OP listed a book, so not that's not the problem. Using a UPS mailbox is a problem. Erasing data from photos is a problem. Using an iffy IP is a problem. If your business details are ⊗⊗⊗⊗, that's a problem. Ebay must know who you are, they must be able to verify you...EVERYTIME
ANYTHING that a normal person would not do is a problem...anything.
I could go to the dollar general store and pick up a $20 phone + $25 data/airtime card, activate it, add real verifiable information (name, DOB, SSN and any real home address), list a book and have a new working un-suspended Ebay account in under an hour.
OP, you're overthinking everything, just act like a normal person and you'll be fine. New people sign up and successfully operate Ebay accounts everyday not giving a single thought on technique.

Don't list anything for a month. Make purchases. Like a normal person.

I've been thinking is wating to list make or break your account? I've seen so many posts on the forums of people saying they waited this long or that long or didn't wait at all and have successful accounts. If a normal reseller who never touched eBay before makes an account why would they wait weeks to list? Maybe a day or two but weeks or a month?
