friend's ebay account might be linked to mine. How?

[stugots]

maybe one of the Guru's can explain this one.


Friend of mine called me today and told me since hes starting a new business he signed up for an ebay account, he listed 2 of his products (under $20 each) they suspended his account, he called in, they said he was linked to ME, said my NAME as well as several of MY ACTUAL user names that have been banned in recent weeks.

HOW?

after reading the book, im doing the stealth thing pretty well, working nice so far (knock on wood) but I dont understand this one)

he never lived with me, never shared a number, never a bank, no co signs NOTHING

Did you ever log onto eBay from his PC? Even just to check your listings?

Unfotunately, eBay is famous (or infamous) for this type of thing.

If the thread below is anything to go by, this young Padawan is not au fait with the workings of ebay and paypal

no im not, im pretty new to this stealth thing, I had REAL accounts forever with ebay, all of a sudden I got too big and they clipped me.

but NO I have never even been to his new house, never used the computer at his old place (was only there like twice) they told him he cant even appeal or anything

Did he use a computer at your house? There's a link made somehow.

Best to get your friend to join here too

[stugots]

no he only set it up today, within an hour BOOM suspended.


(i just noticed the title of my thread changed lol what the heck?)

[stugots]

can a public record link him to me (if there is one linking him) and that will raise a red flag? or is public record ONLY for questions?

[GreenBean]

There is some way you got linked.

HE needs to post here to say exactly what he did, what happened. We dont give 2nd party advice.

From your pov, you need to study up on how to be stealth. Dont make accounts until you know what to do. That's most important.
