Accounts getting limited? Image or title?
 

I have PayPal accounts going down and I am wondering if similar title can link accounts?

Also, can a picture of a banned brand be sniffed out by bots?

These accounts sold the same type of items a year ago. And now they are selling the same item that eBay and PayPal don’t like. Can my sales history link accounts?

use different titles and images.

im sure bots can't recognise images.

They can. There are bots that can solve CAPTCHA's..

@OP - sounds to me like you're listing something Paypal doesn't trust you to list.

What is the item or category you're listing

There are some newer very advanced bots that not only can recognise images, but the elements within them. Companies (such as Facebook) have been using facial recognition for years, and some other processing can actually solve advanced CAPTCHA's, similar to what a human can.
Never underestimate the power of current tech.

Use completely different images and titles for your listings when possible.

Law enforcement has found missing children by using bots to recognize imagines posted in the public domain on Google and Facebook, so yes, bots can match pictures, amazingly well, even without the metadata.

@taonola - May I ask what is happening with eBay accounts ?

I have two burned PP accounts from selling prescription drugs in co.uk. It's worse than high risk items.
