eBay Buyer account

nakamuru · #1 09-12-2017

So my eBay seller account is active (

). But paypal is limited (

)

It was due to having my own domain and items were be questioned. (i have invoices though that allow me to sell them so currently being appealed).

Been with eBay for 18 years and paypal for 17 years. I was dumbfounded because never got this sudden axe from paypal with no warning.

So, some of the items I carry on my own shop is products on ebay where i mark the price up and was able to do this with my main eBay account but seems that since paypal has got me limited my purchases are being declined using my card.

Made few stealth accounts with gift cards on ebay and made some purchases but seems that is not working too and saw all my ip addresses were same (I read the guide years ago and thought just having new windows account will get new ip but realize thats not the case cause all my 3 ebay accounts have same ip from home network).

I'm guessing ebay buyer account will be easier but still have limits cause ebay doesn't want someone to buy many items and ship to other peoples address.

Is the guide pretty much more lenient and easier to make purchases on ebay?

I know ebay has buying limits so have to make additional buying accounts and was thinking I get a VPN.. but it may be blacklisted so think I should reset mac address etc as on the guide?

Long story short.. basically should i just follow the guide for buyer guide too..

I really despise the RED decline words ebay has when my purchases don't go through.. it cuts my heart..

Parts of the guide can be applied. If purchasing from eBay you could just make an authorized user card, change the address to another to make that the billing of that card. Then just use the credit card straight on eBay with no PayPal account.

You should still make a new user account and get a VPN such as IPBurger so this account isn't linked with your others, or tether for this account.

I was about to get VPN but then , I noticed on my own AND reading few posts that doing tethering will get new ip address always ... and to make it more in depth, doing airplane mode then turning it back on will do that..

So I don't need VPN right that just adds to my cost.

Yup, just keep track of the IPs
