Is it okay to keep changing your eBay user ID every 30 days.

Hi everyone,

Was wondering if it’s okay to keep changing eBay user ID every 30 days or will this arouse some sort of suspicion from maybe eBay bots or anything?

Basically in 3 or 6 months time I’m planning on buying a product which got removed a week ago. These are the steps I'm attempting.

Buy product from store so have a receipt for product in case gets removed can challenge brand by showing receipt.
Buy stock around 5 or 10
Sell 1 item at a time.
Remove listing once sold add new listing new title, description, pictures etc.
New user ID change every 30 days if it’s okay to do so.

Looking forward to your replies.

In the eyes of ebay you are the same user. So whats the point?

I understand your point but my listing was removed by the brand owner so changing user ID I will look like a normal seller selling the item. If I sell the same item in 3-6 months with same user ID then brand owner will know it’s me again.

This item sells like hot cakes loads of sellers sell it and I’m the only one who got their listing removed and I believe I know the reason why which is why I want to try and rectify it and start again.

They of course have you as favorite and watched seller. No matter how many times you change your User ID will that get them off your list.

You should probably be more discreet, Sam. :/

If someone adds you on the watchlist, changing ID won't help.
