100% positive with what I'm selling.

It just seems like too much a coincidence that these are happening with GV, Vumber and other forwarding services, yet the dozen accounts I've made with actual prepaid phones, haven't had the restriction.

These dozen accounts you mentioned without restriction, suspected due to a prepaid phone, were they created recently? Since the MC999 has been happening?

There definitely is the technology. The Android market even has an application that recognizes forwarded phone calls the "Forwarded Call Alert".

has that been working for you? Any problems with the phones? Do you need a separate device for each phone number?

On many of the threads I read "MC999 has been covered many times so look there". I've been reading for two days and I did not find much. What am I missing? I've been getting them before listing anything. So far :

1) someone suggested to list with the same IP as you registered the account
2)if you must call ebay choose the account suspension option, otherwise if you call to increase limits you'll get the database questions.
3)Prepaid phone has been covered here.
4)Being linked through gmail. (Is that true??)
5)Just call and hope for the best. No way around it.

This is the message I'm getting regarding the mc999

[joanna4051]

nyc,

This is the message I got on my real account 2 years ago. I can't sell indefinitely but can buy on ebay which I do regularly. Every time I log into that account this message is the first thing I see on my screen.

Well like JJ said , I think that flagged me but still have a feeling if I'd went to account restriction I'd of been asked easy questions but I followed ebay and walked in their trap of asking for a limit increase on a new account

They are deceptive

So I got another mc999 but eB was nice this time and just gave me a slap on the wrist.

The email may sound like a slap on the wrist, but bear in mind, the claim was questionable / authenticity of your items. And from the sounds of it, it is competitors that are reporting you.

I would tread lightly with that account and perhaps let it cool off while you focus on other accounts.

Do you really think it's competitors? This has never happened so your advice would be grateful

@nyc, definitely do not relist these item(s) on this account without strict written permission.

That's what I planned on doing. I was just going to post the other items. In the email they told me the specific item. So this morning I haven't posted that certain item on my x accounts.

That second part of your image seems to suggest it is competitors...

"Your listing was brought to our attention by members of the community..."


If that statement is accurate, I would think it would be competitors.

I want to cool down on this account but right now it's $$$ time so I might as well get what I can plus the thought of doing eBay past January has forever left my mind.

You quitting?

Not quitting but just trying to finish school and not deal with the headache that comes with eB. Maybe later down in life I may do it as a hobby.

Just to update my earlier theory: I'm 90% sure the phone numbers are triggering this.

Every single prepaid phone I use to create accounts ends up fine. If anyone ever gets the restriction using a actual prepaid phone and not a forwarding service, then please let me know, or the board know and we'll go from there.

[joanna4051]

Corleone, have you used other forwarding services or just gv?

[RustyShackelford]

***Side note if the phone numbers are triggering the mc999 you can now get the h2o wireless sim cards for 99 cents on ebay, load it with 10 dollars which is good for 90 DAYS, which equates to 3 dollars a month. The numbers are at&t so they should be stronger. Not sure if I should make a separate post about this, but I thought it can help some members here.

How many minutes does 10 bucks get?
