My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

I start sell on a new eBay account. I have a lot of sold within 2 weeks, and I receive an email MC011 Restricted.
What should I do to avoid MC011 Restricted?
Thank for all!

You didn't give much details.

Call in and ask them what you need to do to be reinstated.

Welcome to the forum - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

Listen to phaz - you should not be selling a lot within first 2 weeks...especially if risky items

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

How much volume of sell is safe?:typing:

That is 1 of 147 things you need to know to successfully operate a stealth account. Grab the stealth book. It would save you a lot of time.

Complete absence of usable data in your inquiry.

You probably know what you did. People almost always know, they just don't want to say.

Whatever it was - don't do it any more.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

You had a lot of sold, how about you tell us how much....FYI, that's probably your problem.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

I have 80 sold, about $3.600 within 2 weeks!
It's not safe???

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

Nope, not at all. You sold way too much too quickly on a new account.

General guidelines:
$250 first month
$500 2nd month
$1000 3rd month
Growing at that pace indefinitely. When you receive $3600 in two weeks it makes it fairly obvious you're not the new seller you're claiming to be. You have to make it look like natural growth over time.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

LOL!
Sorry that's just too amusing.
And to answer your question - no that is most certainly NOT safe. It is nowhere near safe.
Im frankly shocked you managed to survive as long as you did.

Thank you for your help! My Friends!!!:d:d:d

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

Difficulty to say without knowing more details - you seem to be selling a popular item...is it copyrighted risky item? branded? Which niche of market - electronic?

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

congrats on a great 2 week run... i like those numbers :spy::cheer::peace:

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

If you need to sell a lot, spread sales over multiple accounts. That's the only way to get around it.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

Right? Just buy a new account, and do that for 2 weeks. Rinse and repeat.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

Is turning and burning accounts even worth it anymore now that Paypal makes you add a bank account in order to access your $ on new Paypals? I know we have tons of banks to choose from but it's going to get suspicious once you've opened and closed 30 bank accounts in the past 6 months or whatever. I for one have been extra careful with all of my older accounts now that new Paypal accounts suck.

And seriously.. $3600 sold isn't much. Assuming a 10% profit margin this guy burned his ebay account for about $360.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

I make a much better profit margin, so I guess I just assumed they did as well. No, for 10% it would not be worth it.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

What's your margin at?

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

I don't like selling anything I can't at least double my money on.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

That's good practice! Wish I could pull it off...

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

In my experience it's nearly impossible to be profitable long term selling obviously phake items like that. 100% profit margins aren't realistic in legit retail..

All it takes is 1 return you aren't able to re-sell and then you spend the next 20 transactions recouping your losses.

Very nice to hear.
