does ebay link to banned accounts based on same full name and DOB

[just another seller]

Ebay uk,

i know that ebay link accounts based on ip, address, phone, email, bank account. if i create a new account with all the above new but same full name and DOB, same person identity real details but i would use my passport this time (used national ID last time). and the NI it would be my real one but first time giving it to ebay since it´s been 4 yrs that i got suspended permanently and that time, far as i remember, there was no asking for NI.

so based on this info, do i stand a chance of my new account not being connected to my suspend one. the only same details would be full name and DOB.

FYI, i plan on using it as business seller so it would for sure go above the £1700 pounds limit, hence in my case would be no use to use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ ID or details.

there´s people selling stealth accounts that use ⊗⊗⊗⊗ ID´s and info but imo i think that´s only good if you are gonna use it as a personal seller that doesn´t sell more than £1700 a year

They CAN do. There was a well shared persons details that was blacklisted for the name alone. Even different people with the same name couldn't open ebay accounts.

1700 does not mean much , of course if you do not violate any policies you can use multiple accounts in your own name , ebay do not prohibit this so it does not really matter what is going to be linked

however , if your 1700 come from 2000 EUR limit for HMRC reports then same details would be linked anyway as you would need to use the same NIN

of course you can put different ones but I doubt that will work , ebay would probably freeze your payouts at some point and ask you to correct the details

yes that it´s allowed for same person to have unlimited ebay accounts my question was for someone who was banned before, if they can create a new stealth account using same ID+NIN as there's no other way around since ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details wouldn't work and i don't have any friends or family whom i could use their identity and bank account

then explain to me how there's several people on this forum running multiple stealth accounts on their own name. i don[t suppose anybody has a bunch of people whom allowed them to use their id and bank accoutn

it is urban legends that someone is blacklisted and same name gets suspended on other accounts as well just because it sounds similar. they just got suspended on newly opened accounts with no relation to any previous suspensions or any names because ebay do not verify personal details on account opening , they could have written any other personal details and still would have been suspended

I capitalised CAN to emphesise this word intenetionally. The name i know was blacklisted like i said was very widely used in certain circles. They're not going to black list every john smith in the country because john smith from Dudley submitted a dodgey looking utility bill, but if the same uncommon name has cost them a fortune it will be blacklisted.

Murdered_by_ebay is running on the premise that he hasn't experienced it so it can't have happened. Naive.

Also to add there is an online bank that won't open 2 accounts with the same name and DOB even at different addresses ID etc. So if your born on the same day as some other John Smith you better open an account first. Possibly they'd manually allow it if you persued it, but their automated process won't.

could it be more than DOB and name match?
like in the same city?same ISP?

Yes, they will link by DOB/ID info.

No they won’t. That’s data protection laws. They cannot use info on manage payments for linking purposes that breach’s data protection.

They do not have to tell you how and where they get the information.

Incorrect yet again.

I don't know about ebay, but the idverification service amazon use will link 2 accounts if the same ID uploaded. They encrpyt and make a hash out of your passport details. That way its protected. each hash for each different passport is different if 2 show up it flags the second 1 as not valid

Edit: in my experience amazon('s id verifier) didn't actually block the accounts they just would instantly not accept the second ID. You can then use a different ID and account is verified. So there was a link via the ID's.

I doubt if all of us have an account with Adyen,if we do,Adyen will have to hire an army of customer service agents to serve us.
This is how Paypal works,it has several merchant accounts with the merchant account providers (banks),when we open an account with Paypal,we are just subaccounts within Paypal ,these banks do not know us,all they know is Paypal,all they deal with is Paypal.
Paypal sent the fund and receive our fund ,it then allocates to our accounts,when there is a chargeback,it hits Paypal,then Paypal notifies us ,if we lose,the penalty fee is past on to our account $20.
There is no way we can contact these banks directly,as they do not have any record we are their customers.
The same could be the case with Ebay MP payment,it is Ebay which has an account (s) with Adyen,it deals with Ebay,not us.
So if you said it is a violation ,Ebay has all our information when we sign up,no need to ask Adyen,Adyen does not have all our information,it is kept within Ebay.
The same goes with Etsy.
If you ever have a merchant account with a provider,you will understand the difference.

WARNING

Incorrect stuff yet again. Much of it, but a simple one is that Ayden has to, by law, keep the details of customers for up to seven years, this includes any and all that they verify for payment services housed by the first tier party.

This users posts should come with a warning just incase some newbies fall into the trap of thinking because she has 20k posts, any of it is factual.

I don't think agent sells on uk eb so the familiarity with UK matters may be lacking

[rsot]

UK works in pounds/quids and not dollars agent - first step might be to quote the right currency page/right eb platform page, just helps for your rep.

Yes, hence why they should not comment especially wit definitive statements and potentially mislead people (or clutter the thread with her rubbish)

Merchant account fees
Merchant services should support your business, not drain it with excessive fees. It’s important to understand what credit card processing entails and the different costs involved.

Setup fee: This is a one-time charge when you first open your merchant account. Some providers might waive this fee if you process a lot of sales or if they're running a special offer.
Monthly minimum fee: You pay this when you don't reach a certain amount of card sales in a month. For example, if your minimum is $50 but you only processed $35 worth, you'll pay an extra $15 to make up the difference.
Annual fee: This yearly fee covers basic account services and maintenance. It usually costs between $99 and $199 and gets automatically taken from your account once a year.
Batch fee: You pay this each time you send a day's worth of transactions for processing at once. These fees typically cost 10¢ to 30¢ per batch, no matter how many sales are included.
Chargeback fee: This happens when a customer disputes a charge and gets their money back. You'll pay $15 to $100 each time this happens, even if you prove the charge was valid, so keep good records.
Early termination fee: This is the penalty for ending your contract early. It can be expensive - either a flat fee of $300-$500 or the monthly fees for the remaining contract time, so read your contract carefully.
--
Ask yourself did you comply with any or all of the above when you open a MP account?
One thing retailer complains is that not all credit cards are created equal,those which offer you a sweet deal with points,rewards,the fee the retailer has to pay is higher.
More retailers now wish you pay cash,and you can always ask if there is a cash discount.
But then on Ebay,there is no other option but to use MP-Ebay is making money off our MP ,transaction fee we pay is 40 cents,discount rate is what 4%,Ebay is not paying 40 cents transaction fee and 4 % discount rate,it pays 10 cents transaction fee and may be 3% discount rate,so it is keeping the rest.
If Ebay cares to disclose such,it should be in their earnings reports 10k or 10Q.
If you ask why Ebay ditched Paypal and went with MP,this is one good reason why,Ebay is not growing so this helps its bottom line

WARNING

This information is not relevant and is mostly factually incorrect for UK (it probably is incorrect for the USA too but I haven't the time to fact check it)
