Back on eBay after 10 years! This is whats working for me so far.

[fivesfull21]

Hey everyone. I'd like to start off by saying that without the aspkin forums and the expertise of some of the members who have been gracious enough to share there info with me, I would be WAY behind in my ebay journey.

Up until 2018 I was a very active ebay seller with 20-30 accounts running at any given time. My tactic was cleaning all cookies, refreshing my mobile hotspot and logging in and doing my thing. I had very little technical knowledge of how to properly connect to ebay, canvas fingerprinting, account tracking and matching, etc... It worked pretty good for me at the time but I would go through accounts like I did socks and it seems like I was always having to create new account, verify accounts or fix problems. The highest feedback score I got was around 50, I could never keep them long enough to get any higher.

So now after years of being out of the ebay game this is what I've got done so far. I've got 24 good ebay accounts, aged for over a month and every one is healthy and ready to turn into seller accounts.

Here is my account creation method that has worked so far.

Multilogin: Using 4g mobile proxies I am careful to set the parameters to mimic a real device. Using chatGPT I get the specs for lets say an android S23. I make sure that all parameters line up with the S23 specs, right down to the number of Gbs and cores in the processor. So far I've opened 10 account on multi login and all 10 are healthy and have had no problems.

Multilogin - 10/10 (With one account seller active)


AdsPower: Same as multilogin. I am using the same companies 4g mobile proxies and I use chatGPT to make sure that all the different parameters match up to what the real device would have. So far I've opened 14 accounts. 8 out of the 14 were hit with an immediate MC999 (within 2-10 minutes after account creation). For the 8 MC999 accounts I logged into ebay and requested an agent call after chatting with the bot. On the phone with ebay they asked what I would use the account for and if I plan on selling. I told them that right now I am a buyer but I plan on selling in the near future. All 8 accounts were reinstated within 15 minutes of talking to customer support. These are the front end support, not trust and safety.

Adspower - 14/14 (No seller activation yet)


I have been leery about selling to soon on these accounts so what I've done is sign in every couple days. Browse the ebay site, ask sellers questions, add things to my watch list and just pretty much browse around and act like what a normal ebay user would do.

Over the next month I will be opening payoneer accounts and activating selling privileges on these accounts so I will keep you guys posted on how things go. Also, the next 2 groups of accounts I open (I open them in blocks of 10) I will be using static residential proxies with ML and Ads. So in about a month I'll touch base with you guys, let you know how my initial 24 accounts are doing selling and how the new ones made with residential proxies are looking.

And I will say one last time because I feel indebted to the aspkin community, THANK YOU very much to all of you who have helped me learn how to navigate eBay in 2025 and thank you to my new partner who has been a big help and who is absolutely brilliant at what he does. Happy holidays guys & gals!

I forgot to mention. Before I used google voice or cheap phone # apps for the accounts. I found a company on amazon that sells real sim cards for $5 that come with 100 minutes per month. That way I spend $5 per month per account and have an active phone number for the accounts duration.

you will have to continue creating accounts , if you have luck you will be able to keep 5-10 out of 100 opened accounts

I'd settle for 50 out of 100 bro.

You are doing a lot of things right, although dynamic IP addresses from mobile internet providers work well, so not sure why you need proxies unless you are not in your country perhaps.

I don't make USA accounts, but for the UK the vast majority of my new accounts do not get banned. Less about luck, and more about the basics of stealt-h principles I would say

[murdered_by_ebay]

ebay do not settle for this anymore , out of new accounts the suspension rate is 90%-100% with many accounts going down immediately and the rest within a few months

Maybe best to look over one's creation methods, I made 4 accounts yesterday - no initial suspension messages. How long will they last? as long as any other I would say.

If you can have 20 working eBay accounts nowadays I would consider that an anomaly.

I do not believe though it is all seller accounts fully connected and started selling without problems

How are you creating and running these accounts? More info would help bro.

your way is not a problem , the issue are random suspensions which do not have any special way as they just suspend most new seller accounts

many immediately within days , others within weeks or months and if they reinstate you the account gets a new suspension soon after

Are these random suspensions AI triggered? How do you appeal these? I can't believe ebay would just permanently suspend most new seller accounts if all the info is good and you have good verifiable documents. Thanks for your input bro.

it is all bots , then reinstate by phone in many cases , then new suspensions

yes this is exactly what they have been doing since 2019 but the extreme suspensions started about 2-3 years ago , docs are not needed as they do not ask for docs but even if they ask reinstatement still leads to a second suspension that can not be appealed

How do they verify when you call in on an appeal? And what % gets re suspended?

they verify using the registration information but do not do actual identity verification. which % gets reinstated I do not know but not many , it is a minority , however several sellers here wrote they had stopped trying as all such accounts got suspended again

If that is a suspension thats solved via phone its entirely different than MC011.

They used to do soft suspensions early as 2013-2014 when I started taking this seriously? If you listed a bunch, or there was any risks, you'd get some type of restriction I cant remember, and they'd ask a set of identical questions.

Essentially trying to see if you had all the products you sell in hand, and not dropshipping. What you are describing isn't new, just morphed into something different. I must have went through that process over 50+ times.

After getting a restriction like that, even back then it was always advised to tread softly.

I think the biggest problem with most is they're trying to go 0 to 100 on accounts and eBay does not like that. Assuming you are using some sort of linkage via SSN, it can be found if they look. If you let enough time pass it gets ignored entirely.

My account I use now is an account from 2019. I had a phone call with one of the Trust & Safety when I was making new accounts, he linked me to the account that got suspended in 2022. Partially because I answered he database questions which I knew I shouldn't but the system still had a link found.

Anyone thinking eBay cannot link via SSN when we create business accounts is being naive. They can, its just whether your account gets put in the radar, and how fresh was that recent suspension. As time passes naturally these things become easier to deal with. I don't know the linkage in other countries thats akin to SSN but I presume its similar.

You should list your steps for account creation and forum can assist and provide input.

[vettefever17]

My biggest question on this mass creation is, where are you sourcing that many bank account numbers? Are you even getting to that step, or what? I would fear being blacklisted in the US banking system at that level.

Register a business - get bank accounts via business route - there are more fees involved but less hit on personal checks - one idea.

Opening a bunch of accounts is not a problem but as soon as you list your first item that's when most of the issues begin.

Because thats when it matters. It wouldn't make much sense for eBay to put resources to detecting new accounts created because so many don't even use them.
