NEW EBAY VERIFICATION SUSPENSIONS- MC010 - MC169 NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension

missrobynd · #67 03-21-2010

So no more than one of same item, or no more than 1 item period.

I just got hit by one of these again. Only sold 4 items on a 1 year old account. Worth about $60 and got the MC010 message. This is a Japanese eBay account, though ...so they have no way to do a background check. It's got to be something else. Maybe we have to sell 1 item, wait for feedback to come in, then list again.

Ok, I received this MC010 Notice - Verify identity last night. I called them this morning and the guy that I talked to was very nice to me. He asked me a few questions about my account (username/email/address/phone#) and I've got all those written down. Then he said he is going to input all my info in the database and he will ask me a few more questions to further verify my identity. He asked me multiple questions that I know nothing about since this is 100% stealth account. All my answers were "none of the above" of course, and I had a big smile on my face when he said that my account was reinstated and I'm good to go

Still, there's got to be a pattern we have to find out. There's no possible way, in my opinion, of eBay verifying every single new seller around the world. This happened to one guy on the forums from Turkey ..and then one of my Japanese accounts ...and a lot of US sellers from what I've seen, so it's got to be a worldwide thing. Imagine how many new sellers register on eBay every day? There's simply no way they can all be verified.

Could be the item you're listing that triggers it. *AHEM* Software...?

imjustme · #72 03-24-2010

No software at all here. Mainly clothing. Some of them VERO items but no brand names in the titles. What I usually do is I buy 10-15 feedback and then start listing. Is that something you guys are doing as well? Or are you all starting with selling from '0' feedback? Maybe that's the trigger.

Personally, I have about 40 more accounts that are from 2008. I used 2 of them in the last days and they got hit with MC010. So it isn't happening just on newly created accounts, but accounts that just start selling.

imjustme · #73 03-24-2010

By the way, what I mean with buying feedback is that I buy low cost items, between $2 and $12 to gain some feedback. Nothing below $2 and no eBooks. Some PC cables, iPhone cases, gardening tools, etc.

Maybe eBay is cracking down on that. Do we have a pattern here? Anyone else got the MC010 after doing that? Or did you guys start selling with 0 feedback?

OfficialGenius · #74 03-24-2010

I wouldn't know since I haven't listed anything in a while. There's this guy I'm watching right now who has 0 feedback, made his account 3 days ago and already sold 25 P90s within 3 days and has 3 Microsoft office up. I know it just has to be an Aspkin member.

OfficialGenius · #75 03-24-2010

Also, I've been studying 0 feedbacks or new sellers with a few feedbacks(5-10) and they all have listed big priced items in the hundreds-1 thousand and all seem to still be running fine.

yer doing something wrong,ive never been hit with one of these and im running multiple accounts,all range from 2 months to a 2 years old, there is no trend,they can not track people for buying cheap items to build feedback, thousand of people do that,stop thinking everyone is like you

figure out what yer doing wrong

dude i laugh when i see those kind of people..i think the same exact thing as you..hahah..like seriously make a new account and sell a few thousand worth within the first few days of creating an account..haha def sounds like as aspkin member..hah

imjustme · #78 03-24-2010

Well, if I'm doing something wrong, then a whole bunch of other people are too. Because this post is full of people getting the MC010 identity verification message.

This is only happening on accounts I've never sold on before. I have a few dozen accounts ranging from 105 to 950 feedbacks and they're fine. It's just the ones I never sold on that are getting this now.

And I did notice one seller selling the same thing as I am, with 0 feedback and he's got like 200 items listed, on a 2 month old account.

clothing is more strict than software i think, building 10-15 feedback is fine b4 selling,but how much are you selling at that point? i build my accounts like that but i slow very slow,that might be yer problem and well clothing,..i mean just cuz you build 10-15 feedback buying doesnt mean you can start selling whatever you want,the only reason i do that is cuz i think buyers like seeing that stupid yellow star,makes them think the seller is "special"

imjustme · #80 03-24-2010

Haha, this is a joke. I listed a $3 item about 5 minutes ago on a 2 month old account and got this:

Absolutely new account. Never sold or bought anything on it. Fresh name/address, never before used email, fresh credit card number, PayPal verified attached to it.

imjustme · #81 03-24-2010

And by the way, the $3 item was a sticker. No VERO item at all. Suspension and email came exactly 7 minutes after, so it's got to be automatic.

**aspkin** · #82 03-24-2010

Are you on a VPN by any chance imjustme?

imjustme · #83 03-24-2010

Nope, I'm on a DSL connection that allows me to change the IP as I wish. I can't change the first 2, but the last 2 ...such as from 123.123.10.50 to 123.123.88.20 ...so quite different. Also using different Windows accounts.

arsgunner77 · #84 03-24-2010

yer doing something wrong,i have no clue what it is, 7 minutes after listing a sticker?,its impossible to verify all new accounts when they start selling,ebay doesnt care that yer selling a 3 dollar sticker, think about it? yer doing something wrong.you need to figure it out

i run multiple accounts the same way,first 2 dont change but last 2 do and mine are all fine,maybe its cuz yer in japan? i dont know

imjustme · #86 03-24-2010

I've been on eBay for about 3 years now. I know pretty much all the do's and dont's. I use separate Windows account and separate flash cookies. All accounts have totally different information. Real addresses and real phone numbers (but not mine, obviously). I also use new cards every time and all accounts are PayPal verified. Something is wrong at eBay, I'm telling you.

It doesn't seem to be just me having the problem. Look at all the other people posting in this thread.

I have access to US IP's as well. It's not just on my Japanese accounts, but also on US accounts. And the IPs of my US accounts are matched to the City and State, so it can't be that either. Have you tried creating any new accounts lately?

I noticed that this didn't happen to one of my US accounts that I started selling on in December 2009 and January 2010 ...and the only difference was that I phone-verified the account before I started selling. For some reason eBay asked me to verify the phone number there and I input the PIN. I never got bothered on that account and it's now up to 95 feedback. I also listed heavily there (20+ listings per day for 2 months) and never got molested.

Could it be that they're targeting non-phone-verified accounts?

^^^^Probably.
