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:

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

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.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

Very nice to hear.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

You have the ebay stealth, so use it to make multiple accounts and spread out that 80 sales to say 10 accounts.

Each selling around 8 items.

This is a lot safer to do.

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

your making alot of assumptions tho :coffee:

Re: My eBay has been restricted! Why??
 

LOL, hold on. Are you accusing the OP of selling phake items, or did you just accuse ME of selling phake items? Both of those assertions are quite the assumption, but especially towards me, considering you won't find a single thread on this entire forum from me, that would lead anyone to even the idea that I sell phakes. The last time I had a suspended account, was 17 years ago.
