The amount is a lot if it takes 2-3 accounts made to actually get to the point where you even have a sale..
What i found interesting was that not all my accounts got it , out of 7 only 5 got hit with the fee indicating it may be optional however my creation steps were the same
1. individual phone with its own real sim card and own real number using Esty from the mobile browser . SSN/ITIN/ are the only thing being reused. For the address i add apartment numbers . I don't use any anti detect or special tools just separate phones and i have about 10 phone plans
I tried making business ones with the ein as well as personal ones but it did not seem to make a difference
for bank i used alliant savings for all accounts and manual verification deposits so no login with plaid
I tried clicking on a few listings before I opened my seller account and a few things in the search bar to establish browser history but it made no difference
I tried chrome + firefox + opera browser with no luck
Would love some advice on how to improve. Again i don't mind the fee but with the way account making works where there is a element of random chance to it where some accounts may get suspended even if you follow all the same operating procedures $15 per attempt feels more like gambling.
