Will Account Be Suspended? (Hypothetical Situation)
 

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if this could get my both my new account and past accounts suspended.

Here’s the hypothetical scenario I’ve been thinking about.

Let’s say I have 5 accounts running on eBay – all are seller status, over 20+ feedbacks.

I then create a new account (6ht), and decide to use all previous 5 accounts to give it a positive feedback. This is obviously against eBay rules I know.

Everything will be marked as “shipped” and “payment made/received.” Just so it seems like a transaction took place.

Then, once the 6th account has 5 feedbacks, I register for seller account.

My question now is…

Will eBay look into the history of feedback?
Will they know that all past accounts are connected?
Will they suspend all accounts consequently, or will it just be the new account banned for abuse?

Note: Non of the accounts are linked in anyway. All IP address, cookies, are cleared. Every account has it’s own windows user.

Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

It suxs, It's stupid (& I'm being polite) .

Re #1:

Right general idea. Wrong plan for the specifics.

Trying to +FB yourself is more trouble than it is worth. Too much potential for getting ALL of the accounts cross-linked in a spiderweb fashion. Not worth it for a couple points you could easily get by other methods.

I suggest you not try this.
