Did you use a new windows user account and make sure you were creating the EB from a different IP address?

As of lately most accounts are getting this message, I believe it's a way to tighten on new sellers.
Suggestion:
Make a new account but instead of using your real bank account to verify the Paypal, use a VBA. Also, suggest you create a user account and get some browsing history on the account.
You can't just go gun-ho on a new account. Me personally, I do at least 5-10 purchases before I sell and I usually list used items.

Personally, I would not list right away - I like purchasing and browsing on the account for about 4 weeks (sometimes as early as 3) before I start listing and then...I list something LOW RISK. I suspect you are trying to make a big sale right away....maybe something high risk...that could lead to mc999 even if your account is stealth.
(And NO I am not asking what you are selling - that's your business)

You did great, but you missed one thing, to wait 4 days and then start listing

I personally make strictly backup eBay buying accounts to sit on the sideline for months if not years before I even get around to using them.
Browsing history, purchasing items even cheap ones. Help avoid the dreaded MC999. This seems to have become more and more common.
I highly suggest as well at least for the first few sales to list only one or two items at a time. Also make sure they are used items or some random household goods. You want eBay to think you are average joe just getting rid of some unwanted items.

Don't quote me on this but I heard through the grape vine that you want to avoid Buy It Now listings for at least a couple of months. Stick to running auctions until you have at least 100~ or so feedback

The grapevine must be smoking something funny..."100~ feedback"? don't think so.
Most of mine are minimum 1 month old + 10 buyer feedbacks, then I list BINs.

Tips:
1: Wait a few days to a month to list items.
2: Use ebay's standard formats. (NO EXTRAS) A: Do not use BIN, only auctions
B: 0.99 auctions (tangible with at least $1.50 shipping)
3: Nothing high risk (obvious)
4: List the auction as a 7 day (no 3 day, no 5 day. You look as if you are trying to make a quick buck with the new account)
5: When/if they do give you the message, Play stupid and have your info in front of you when you call.

one of the things i found really helpful is to wait 30 days from creation to 1st listing. This seems to heavily cut down on my mc999

thanks | What are you doing for the internet? Nothing there in this plan stated?
No consolation but in the early days of the forum we always used to wait 30 days or longer to list.
Fast forward to this time, and I still practise this method.
Never have issues. |

For every phone you should be able to verify at least 2 accounts...
1 using real phone #
1 using google voice
every $ counts when you're starting off

I always wait for the deposits, but I don't think that's the reason why your accounts are getting tagged. Yes, definitely take the precautions stated above, wait a few days at least, browse and etc.
I have a feeling it's something a bit more then that though. My best suggestion is to take a look at your competition and research how they are selling, you might find certain patterns...

My question would be what did you list?
A new item?
Risky item?
What category?
Name brand item?

You can add google voic numbers to your trac phon. Additional numbers at no cost.

You can call me greedy or what not, but I tend to list within the first few days.
From my experience, it hasnt mattered if i did a 7 day low risk auctionn or a buy it now higher risk.
From the many reps I heard from, its just their way to check on new sellers and they do it (normally) within 5 days of listing.. . Its not big deal. They just ask basic questions and I always have my information in front of me .
But I just have my stealth info, act real dumb and nice and ask questions to get them to spill info lol.
