last time I was linked/suspended was 2008, ready to try again w/ my real name!
 

OK, between 1999 and 2008 I have probably been suspended or linked over 100 times using my real name and every variation of it, even most of my family members. Last account I had using my real name and address was last 2007-2008 and had over 500 positives and was a Power Seller account. My real name account ended up getting linked to my other real name suspended accounts because I had sold a vehicle, after about 45 days and 1000+ miles someone made a complaint and wanted there money back and I said no way. They ended up making a claim through Ebay Motors and once that happens Auction Insurance Agency out of Georgia gets involved. AIA pays all claims for Ebay Motors. I had claims in the past with them so once they called me it was a wrap! I had the same rep call me that handled past claims and he basically personally knew me. After I got off the phone with him my accounts were suspended that day. Sometime in 2010-11 I opened an account(Ebay and Paypal) with my same home address and used my first and middle name only. The Ebay account lasted 3 months until they restricted my selling and said I could only use the account for buying because 1 month I had 2 item not received disputes that were both taken care of and positive feedback received. Ofcourse I called Ebay every month for the next 3 months arguing that I have 100% positive feedback around 90 and both the disputes were immedietely taken care of instantly. They still said the account can never be used again for selling only buying. Last month, almost 2 years later I called again trying to get the account back open for selling and they still said no. The funny thing about it is that I still have the Paypal account for that Ebay account and I use it for my main Paypal to make withdraws. I've never had a problem with that Paypal account!

Since it's been since 2008 since I have had my last account in my actual real name and address, I think I am going to try again and see how long it lasts!

Over/Under 3 months, any bets???

Depends on how much activity youre planning on putting on the account.
But regardless I wont be holding my breath. Way too much history on that name/address.
Ill go with under 3 months :)

Won't bet on this except that it seems like you are wasting your time. I would rather go stealth and aim for golden account building.

Anyhow - all the best- hope best of success.

...even most of my family members...

Do they know this? Kind of sucks for the household ha

No offense, but if you're using real information, family members, friends, etc... you're missing the point of stealth.

I still got all my stealth accounts but theres nothing like having an account in your real name that actually works! I'm going to give it a try and see how it all works out. I say under 3 months too but we'll see...

theres your answer

whats the point ?

if it lasts a day or a year its still on marked time

use your time more wisely and create solid stealth accounts

You can do this but you need to make sure it is a new address, phone, etc..

I have done this so many times. Just be easy with the Paypal take your time, if you really want to sell on eBay and are nervous using another payment service with the new eBay.

Actually, there is something like it... an account with an assumed name that actually works.
