mc010
 

I've purchased 12 stealth accounts from different sellers on this site. I do everything the ebay stealth book says. I change my IP. Have different accounts. I even have different laptops for each account. For some reason I can't get passed the god damn MC010!!! (of 12 accounts 3 passed initial verification but was later hit with violations 2 of them being out of my control)

The first thing I list are books and wireless mice. For some damn reason it never EVER goes through!

I'm frustrated and I need help...

Please....

Thanks,
Rage

Let's start with step 1 - when you receive these accounts, do you list right away or do you build buying feedback?

Are you selling ebooks?

Those two no-no products because i used to sell them too and for some reason i would always get banned.

always answer none of the above for the little questionnaire they give u over the phone. it works every time. i got 2 of them yesterday and passed with flying colors. they either have no idea or they dont care to do anything about it.

count it. stealth FTW!!!

Did you list books or mice on the accounts that were previously MC10'd? Are you using the same pic? Did you resize and clear EXIF pic data?

I would list an common everyday item like a toaster. Use the pic and description from Amazon and put a price $20 over what the sell for so you don't sell. If it passes on your new account, the killbots were linking your previous ad and pics. You will have to change them up.

It doesnt matter WHAT you list. I bought two accounts on here, listed jeans from walmart and a golf polo shirt. Both accounts were hit within minutes of completing the listing with the "Identity Verification" crap. I called both times, couldn't answer their random "what care do you drive" and "what color is it" questions said "None apply, sir" so I have to send in an ID and a utility bill. It seems to be happening with all new accounts, or the majority of them. They fail to mention that in the Stealth book. I have had nothing but problems, every time I think I have it figured out, something else happens. But I won't give up. I will keep at it and suggest you do the same!

I've also bought accounts on here from the other sellers and those didn't get hit either, still do the same as always

which is browse around for awhile first, which is the obvious part also didn't login as soon as I recieve,

since the seller could have just been logged in, which is another obvious part

then there's the safe item which is good sell a few starting with 1 since I had mc010 on the second listing before because of it being vero and the 1st listing wasn't but never by just listing safe items have I gotten mc010.

I think its best to act like a noob when u first start selling. I listed dvds in the past and got hit with mc010 with in a few hours so then i made a new account bought some stuff and sold some junk that needed to be sold not for profit but to get rid of and walaa i was able to start selling dvds again with no problems. starting off slow that is ;) and these dvds u can say wasnt legit what so every.

I've had similar experiences... I think eb will MC010 any new account who makes their first listing(s) in certain categories like 'Computers and Networking' for example. Especially if you use fixed price with a qty of more than 2.

I posted books as my first listing and still got hit. I barely got one through last week. I started by using penny auctions but they limited my account to $250. I talked to eBay and they said they will raise my limit in a month bc I have good feedback.

I know where you're coming from. I make or buy a new account and it is hard not to start selling hard right away. Ebay doesn't care too much for brand new sellers. Try to make or buy multiple accounts, list something small and low-risk, and then let the account age for 30-90 days. You should get better results this way.

That is 100% correct :amen:

I have found that it is best to get buyer fb like jbluntz said, let it sit, browse and bid on stuff you know you can't win. Log in & out for several days w/o listing and get buyer FB before you list a thing. I found out the hard way and am out over $100 with two stealth accts I bought that I actually waited over a week to log into, they had 0 feedback and I even bid on a few things (and was outbid of course). As soon as I listed the first item on each they both were hammered with the MC010 within seconds. From my research it's happening all over for new accts and it doesn't matter what category you list in or really what it is (besides the obvious i.e. vero or a $2,000 necklace as a first listing) They want ID verification on new accts now esp if when the account is getting set up to sell and they can't find any public information on "you"..... I sent in the docs they wanted for one if they approve I will let it sit & age and use the other two that I have that are real people that I know, who have buyer FB and I set up to sell. It's enough to give someone an ulcer, all this madness. That's a fact! :suspicious:

do you guys think selling old used dvds would be an issue on new ebay accounts? i'm sure there are a lot of new sellers wanting to sell their used dvds
