Hi i have joined this forum as i have been banned from ebay for no reason, i had selling limit of 100 per month.
but i have opened an account for my wife using the same address but new paypal account of my wifes and added a new bank account.

after i listed the 1st sale ebay emailed me and reduced my selling limit to 300 quid a month.

now im thinking of buying multiple ebay accounts and paypal and going stealth. but my question is everytime i use an ebay account i will have to change the ip address etc, so if i use ebay account 1 i will use new ip addy, ebay acc 2 again change to new ip addy right?

but say when i go to work and my wife wants to use her ebay account can she log in as normal without doing anything? i have lots of ppl who will use here account in my home, and worried if her real account is going to get banned.

I would suggest you call and ask them why your limit was lowered it may have just been a computer mishap and they will correct the problem there are many husband and wife accounts and they don't lower the limit.. and as far as having multiple ebay and paypal accounts you need to setup separate user accounts and yes you will need to have a different ip address for each user account you have your ebay and paypal account on.

You were banned for a reason. It may be a SILLY reason, but it is still a reason.

Having said that, your wife's account is already in trouble. When eBay bans an account, they look for any other accounts that have any matching information. Your wife's account has the same address as the banned account and also - presumably - the same last name. That alone is enough for a link and to get the account banned. I'm not sure why her limit was reduced rather than the account being closed since that is usually what happens in these cases.

For a successful stealth account, EVERYTHING must be different. Different address, credit card, bank account information, IP address, PC (or at least using a different windows user account), etc. ANYTHING that is the same would have the potential to link your accounts. For example, many people overlook their item description and pictures. Yes, those things can link you as well.

Hi will i need to register different address for all stealth ebay accounts? so even if i have different ip address for each account i will need to register several addresses?

Every stealth account must have EVERYTHING different, that includes phone. Name, address and yes...new IP.
