**MEMBERS ONLY**--Reinstate Acct- MAYBE??? <SECRET TIP <<

[ebayhateluv]

HI-
Since I now have Many "Abusing" Accts sitting in a file, every now + then, while at a Internet cafe or New Place, I log in and check my email...

--Last Year, they Reinstated 2 accts, WITHOUT even sending me an email... (My Moms was like 6 weeks AFTER the suspension for linking)??
--Got Thinking....hmm.. Why did they do this??
>> Tried something 2 weeks ago...

A.) When you get the "Abusing" email-- now dont forget--this HAS TO BE FOR something STUPID.. not Veros, not LInking,, but Stupid stuff- listed too rapidly, listed 3 items instead of 2, etc..

>> Anhow- heres what Ive tried..has worked 2x already out of 8.... (so thats 25%)-- all it cost me was a fax....

B.) I copied the email link-- which is here:
eBay.com - SafeHarbor Request for Reinstatement

C.) This will simply take you to a page where you PRINT out a 2 page doc... fill it in, by hand, (so you dont have to be on line)--
D.) Include 2 things-- 1 Driv License, + 1- Util bill..sign it and fax in..

E.) NOTE; They are using 2 diff fax numbers.. the one on this form,, must be for the Lesser of the evil suspensions..
F.) within 2 days-- you get an answer.. or in my case--twice now---no email- just acct back up...
>>>> NOTE:
I am now trying this for a Suspended acct with a Vero take down...
BUT... in the section ---"Why were you suspended".. I have changed it up to always say... "Abusing"...no matter what the REAL reason is...
---About 5 minutes ago.. another acct back up...
So thats 3 out of 8 back... the other 5, no response yet.. but no denial either..
(I am starting to think this is an internal FLAW... just happened upon??)

>> P.S. Have NOT tried this on "fresh" suspensions.. these accts have been dormant, with either -0- fees due, or a credit balance.. (I pay with a gift card, so i have to estimate).. GOOD LUCK )

Question: Whats the best way to ⊗⊗⊗⊗ a drivers licence?

[aspkin]

Nice work ebayhateluv, good info.

[Triflin]

In Florida, Illinois and Wisconsin the link below might be of some assistance. I used the Florida one for something other than Ebay and it worked for me

US Driver's License Numbers - Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, perhaps others

This one is from the same site but I have not tried it yet and it covers more states.

Unique ID: Driver's License Analyzer: Florida

You just type the name in and a DL# pops up.

You can also go to the florida website and type in the DL# that you get from the software to make sure no one actually has that one yet.

https://www6.hsmv.state.fl.us/DLCheck/main.jsp

I will say this from experience. There are many ⊗⊗⊗⊗ (novelty) ID places on the net. Do not use any of them that ask you to send a Western Union payment no matter how desperate you are to get a legitimate appearing ID. They will take your money and you will never hear from them again. :o (I tried it a few years ago) Doh!

[ivegotinfo]

yep i can confirm this stuff works. all my accounts that got suspended for buying too many ebooks, or getting linked to each other, or listing too many items got reinstated after faxing the form in.

and the driver licenses, i can help with photoshopping if u need. i did some photoshopping for ebayhateluv

[ebayhateluv]

Yes...Can Positively Confirm.. IVEGOTINFo is a GOOD Guy )
Excellent Work.. Fair Price, and fast..TOP Notch Quality!

[ebayhateluv]

Hi, NOT certain about that, maybe PM savahaganda
BUT...once you get it.. the TRICK is..Knowing how to navigate + use it.. I for one do not have countless hours again and again to play with it...
---- I bought a Full Version years ago for like $399 , tried for 2 weeks, than gave it away..got too aggrevated )

[twdell]

i will try him. my wife used that program in college, so maybe she would still remember how to use it.

[twdell]

how expensive is that program?

[mantisinc]

I think it comes in the Macromedia package, although I'm not sure.
My dad got it cheaply through his work, so I wouldn't be able to tell you I'm afraid.

Google it, you will see some results.

[ebayhateluv]

HERES ANOTHER I DIDNT EVEN KNOW ABOUT--note YESTERDAY recd in email box...

SORRY --you have to click on the thumbnail---RNO NOTICE REINSTATEMENT...

[gitrooman]

I may be stating the obvious here, but this wont work with linked accounts. i tried it a long time ago (2 years) and they said that the account i was trying to reinstate was linked to a banned account and then said had i not tried to make a new account, they would have reinstated the first one.

Great info. Thank you for sharing. I wish the newbies gave the full facts instead
of half stories. LOL

[ebayhateluv]

Anyone KNow this?
--Im just wondering--why is Appeals Dept in Utah? Ebay is in San Jose,, (Or maybe thats Paypal HQ??)
--also I notice 1st letter from T+S, then 2nd from Appeals Team, then back to T+S,,
--SO< apparently, your accts moves through Channels like a Credit Dept Reviews a Credit card pp??

[GreenBean]

I do know the answer. ebay have a couple of different customer service divisionσns to deal with different business. Utah is where their Accounts & Fraud Unit is located.
Now here's a tale I got told. I am trying to verify this (hahah):
Incoming emails from users go to Indian call center. This call center monitors them, answers with standard/unhelpful reply. Emails that require more action are forwarded to the USA. Here they move around until finalized, going through different departments in different states. So, you can see why answers are delayed.

[ebayhateluv]

HI:
I cant tell u all my secrets, now can I?? )

[mantisinc]

Yes you can!!!

[ebayhateluv]

Like I always say...
read B-E-T-W-E-E-N the Lines... )

[steve]

Is it save to fax information for the reinstatement of different ebay accounts from the same fax number ?
Is ebay tracking this ?
