Last few accounts limited instantly
 

And I mean instantly. As fast as I hit the button to submit my registration info, i get the limitation email. And it's been this reason every time:

'It's been a little while since you used your account. So, we just want to
make sure that you authorized some recent transactions.'

Obviously that doesn't make since, because the account was just created. I just can't figure out what's been triggering it. New ip, info, and everything. no room for error that i can see. I made two accounts a few weeks ago and there still running strong.

You MUST be making an error or omission somewhere without even knowing it.This is not immediately clear to you at the moment as to what or where these might be arising from:noidea:

New windows user account? Diff phone number?

well i just had my computer restored and got the latest version of technitium, a program to spoof mac addresses. i'm wondering if that might be it.
nothings changed in the phone number department. i'm pretty sure i'm doing everything the way i always have, and it's always worked.

i'm completely clueless on what it could be. it would have to be something obvious for 3 accounts to become limited in seconds like that.

yeah, ebay doesnt like it when you try to hide

Can't be the MAC address because eBay can't see the MAC address.

what does "nothings changed in the phone number department" mean? are you using the same phone number for all of these accounts? if you are, thats why you are getting limited. get some new numbers

no i mean i use virtual numbers from the same supplier i always have. they've always worked like a charm.
different address, different everything. I know what works. Iv'e done this quite a few times. not sure what's going on.
i'll figure out the problem eventually i guess. just gotta keep trying.

holy crap. just tried again and same thing. finished registration and went into the account to a limitation.
I thought it might be because i use the same password on every account i make. never caused a problem before obviously wasn't the problem this time.
once again- new phone+address+name+email+ip- cleared the flash cookies.
this is making my head spin now. i thought i was just having bad luck before.

Have you used different User Accounts on the computer. I just made 3 new accounts a few days ago and 3 more yesterday and they all work. I have not tired them but nothing suspended yet. I even got 3 accounts without limits, my theory of making new accounts without limits might be true.

You can't use nothing the same. Everything has to be different. Try new email providers and maybe try a new pc.

in the past iv'e only bothered with seperate user accounts when I have multiple accounts running. right now i can't even get one going. i just use my primary user account and clean it up real good.
i'll try a different email provider, could be it. i just don't see that causing an instant limitation though. no access to a different pc at the moment.

ive got 6 07 up and running recently, always with gmail which seems to work for me

same pc + different user accounts+gmail + PAYG sim card + diff address and name

isnt it worth a quick visit to a local library or internet cafe and create an account ? this should eliminate if your pc or other hardware etc is the issue

jgrewe88, have you read the stealth guide yet? First read it and analyze your mistakes - it's tough to keep reading about your attempts when I don't get the sense that you have a grasp on stealth methodology.

On a side note, why are you clearing cookies? New window user account is a good solution.

You use the only one user account and just clear cookies? Do you clean flash cookies also? Maybe that is the problem? Going from zero history to making account?
Are images blocked on email?
What are you using for CC or Bank?
VPN?

So many possibilities...

thanks rsot, but i have read, thoroughly understood and applied ebay stealth. iv'e even done a lot of first hand experimenting to find new things that work. iv'e pulled this off and maintained accounts quite a few times. no problems until these last 4 accounts got limited instantly. i'm still using the tried and true techniques.
I use gmail for my email and haven't had a chance to add a bank or credit card to these recent accounts because they're shut down the second i open them, no time to try.
i appreciate you guys trying to help. like i said earlier, the only thing i'm doing different compared to my successful accounts before these is this new mac address changer. i know it doesn't make sense for that to cause this problem but there's just nothing else to blame from what i can see.
someone above mentioned that it might be that i clean my computer too clean and it might look suspicious, but that's never caused me an issue before. i'll be trying a seperate user account to see if that helps but i just get the feeling it wont.

You IP address isn't changing during the same Ebay session is it?

I don't think so. not all four times though, that's for sure. these limitations occured on paypal, not ebay.

well it looks like i was right all along. it was the new mac changer i was using- technitium v6.0
don't know how or why, there older version worked like a charm for me. but as far fetched as it seems, it's true. i had four accounts limited in seconds without changing any of my techniques, only using this new program. i just downloaded a different program and i now finally have a paypal account up and running. i'm just glad i got that figured out, it was driving me nuts.
thanks everybody for trying to help out.

just wondering if anybody knows of a good program I can use to change my ma address. the one i downloaded gets the job done but it's not user friendly. thanks.
