Method to get around this (if you really want to avoid the MC999 call):
* Create new account stealthyness..
* Make sure EB + PP info match..
* Watch a bunch of items, purchase a few small items. If you really want to keep your account, purchase a minimum of 10 items and receive feedback for all of them.
* Wait 30+ days before even thinking about listing anything or submitting for a seller account.
You could possibly submit for a seller account before then, but I would recommend waiting the full 30+ days and just do 'buying activity' up until then. Just don't even list, this includes listing and cancelling, otherwise you'll be MC999'ed again. MC999's are terrible and are pretty much now a default for eBay on new accounts. They happen regardless of whatever you list; I've listed home / baby items, including cancelling the listing and they've been taken down just as quickly for "verification" purposes. Kind of dumb.
Sometimes I've gotten lucky by getting enough feedback in time before they check. But something I definately noticed was when feedback is below 10, you're at greater risk. My accounts with 13 feedback and such after buying are being unmolested.
