New ebay pratice to suspend new members

[shawnjai]

I am a well experienced ebay users. I have been previously operating over 10 ebay accounts. I got very shocked as my new ebay got suspended this morning. I got through all verification process on ebay/paypal. I used a new laptop, new isp, new email, basically everything is new. I bought around 12 cheap products from ebay to get some feedbacks so i can get a good start for selling. Right after i got my seller account, my ebay was suspended indefinitely. They just said they feel something unsafe about my activity. I bought those products and leave them feedbacks after 4 days & ask those sellers do the same for me. Right after that, i go for the seller account & got verified. I chat with ebay & they said they cant tell me the reason for this as they dont wanna leak any information on the reason they suspend me. Can anyone tell me what have i done wrong? I am not even a seller yet. I have repeated these steps for all my previous ebays & they all work fine before. Maybe this is their new rule?

As the only thing you have done is buy cheap itema for feedback, it is likely thats the reason they banned you.

Ebay have a feedback abuse policy. One thing which is against the rules is buying cheap items for feedback.

You seem to have hit a trigger which got that particular account banned.

Was this a UK Ebay account?

So they allow other sellers to list cheap items but not buyers purchasing them??

Yes thats a UK Registered ebay!!

I bought a new dongle from a new isp..

So you are using a Malaysian dongle to try to run a UK EB?

Your IP needs to be a UK IP.

Of course they can.

The issue is that your UK ebay accounts have been created on and only ever logged in on with a Malaysian IP.

Can i use a uk VPN ip address? Is it safe?

[Ebayorbust]

Use a private dedicated VPN or a VPS.

It must be because of using different computer. Different cookies can trigger all types of alarms with eBay. I've heard horror stories, it hasn't happened to me because I use one computer religiously, but using another computer could be what did it.

Make sure the VPN is not an overused service...VPS works well if properly researched
