Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I agree the phone isn't the sole reason for getting 0/0 limits, though it can be a quick fix for a lot of people that are doing everything else properly.

It definitely has to do with the overall way the account is created. The way I look at it, 0/0 limits means Ebay finds something about your account suspicious. It's not a hard link or else you'd be indefinitely suspended right away, but something during account creation screams out stealth, so they want to talk to the account owner to confirm.

So.. for those still having problems, I suggest looking at the way you create accounts step by step and try to look at things from Ebay's perspective. Would this be suspicious to Ebay?

For phones, as I mentioned I'm pretty sure a non-stealth user whose creating an Ebay account for the first time would use their cellphone or landline. So using a VOIP number (or anything that shows up as VOIP) is a flag.

For IP addresses, having AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, etc (tethering and dongles are great!) looks a lot more legit compared to Random VPN Hoster, Inc.

And for addresses, of course 123 Real Street, Somewhere USA is a lot more believable compared to a phony address or a house with a phony apartment number tacked on.

You may be able to skirt by without getting 0/0 limits if you do one of those things I recommended against (especially if everything else on your account is fine), and that's definitely not an all exhaustive list of things to check for, so anyone still having problems, seriously sit down and think about your methods. Change 1 thing at a time if you have to, and see if that fixes the problem. Doing so will also help you understand how Ebay thinks, which will benefit you in the long run.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

First I want to note that in my opinion, the stealth guide was a waste for me as I have run out of aliases to my own name that I can use and it gives no good information on successfully creating accounts with random names & real addresses. That said, even digging around this forum for ages has gotten me nowhere. Bits and pieces of hints but no actual instruction. Though I must say that this thread has shed some light on a few questions I have had.
I've not yet in 2014 made an account that had anything but 0/0 limits. All a waste of money. All of my other accounts are either from friends or bought (which I've not had good experiences with either (ie: 3mo to get an account, account suspended for what the maker was buying to get feedback)). I've been getting back on ebay since 2004-before I even knew it was a thing and my youngest account is 1.5y/o.
I don't sell volume on any account, I sell to pay for student loans since I live paycheck to paycheck and will always be behind. I have found that having different accounts for different types of products keeps the account around longer.

Just today I tried to start a new seller account after verifying paypal 100% last weekend. Ebay was created last weekend also. Windows user account was created two weeks ago to build cookies and history. I used the same Verizon jetpack to switch IPs that I've been using for the last three years and on all my current accounts. I used my grandfather's full information and still 0/0. Called in using my Virgin Mobile prepaid (with a brand new # that was used to register ebay and verify paypal) and they still couldn't verify it. This really has me thinking they really closed things off pretty tight.
Call me naïve but I don't see where I'm going wrong.

you shoud try to creat an acct everyday, and let some of the aged accts turn into seller accts. aged i mean more than 3 months. i havent gotten a 0/0 acct since last year when i messed up as a newbie. the accts you create today will be the ones you activate 3 mos from now, and you just keep creating them.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

these were made last week, but I think I know what I did wrong. I'm about to make 2 more tonight so we'll see what happens.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

The 2 accounts i did last week were over 3 mths old and they still got 0/0. I made them in beginning of june.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Order of operations is very important. Avoid Google voice.

Have you guys tried using local apartment complex office addresses? I have found those to be the most convenient for my personal stealths..

If worse comes to worst and you have an item returned to the address on file from a dispute (rather than the address on the label which I recommend being yours from stamps.com or similar), then you can easily pick up the package from the leasing office.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

i just made a seller account and listed an item. got 10/1000. Fixed what I thought I did wrong before, no problems. I'm about to make 1 more tonight...

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Account was just created aking? Or been letting it sizzle before turning to seller?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

It was a brand new seller account I just opened last night. No aging. Opened a brand new seller account and listed my item.

My other accounts I created the same way, no aging...

It may be the items people are listing that are causing the 0/0 limits.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

You can turn buyer accounts into seller withouts listing the first item.
Google: ebay seller account set up then click "set up seller account now" it takes you to the phone PIN page.
I like to see my limit first before listing the first item

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I would agree with this, combined with using a real phone, really helps eliminate the 0/0 problem.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

By create an account every day does that mean paypal 100% and an ebay buyer act?
[I also find it interesting to age it 3 months when the seller accounts I have bought have never been more than a few weeks old. But of course those ppl are pros]

Can anyone suggest anywhere in the forum where I can find current information on steps to take for creating accounts under random names/addresses? I've read the guide more times than I've read anything else in quite a while (sad comment on my life lol). Thus far I've really just found old information.
thanks

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

No, I don't go that far as far as PayPal 100%. They're all buyer accts with PayPal at like 40%. That means no bank acct attached nor gift card. But that's how I do it. Some may say it's too laxed, but so far has worked for me.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Use a real phone number with gift card, same formula and still working

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

how did you get the 0/0 lifted?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

So i had the same problem ended up calling today with the tracphone i used to open the account. I didn't put in pin code went directly to the having problems selling line>listing removed. Then got a hold of an operator way faster that way. They asked me to verify address, and zip code, ( told them the same one that belongs to the account). After that the operator said i could not be found in the database so they could only give me a 10 item limit. Well that is way better than having it at 0/0. After all was said and done spent around 40 mins on the phone.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Ok so I thought everyone would find this interesting

I made two accounts (technically 3) the last 3 days

1st account fully paypal verified and with tracfone, made sure was verified before I made into a seller account. Went to list an item and when it went to list it hit with the you cant you met your selling limit 0 out of 0

2nd account I did not verify I actually made the ebay and paypal account just added credit card and turned into seller account right away and made my first listing successfully
used tracfone.

Only difference between the two besides the obvious is the way I did it. Like what I clicked on what I searched for first, what help stuff I did so on. I actually had a little method to the madness that I had attempted last night on the 3rd account. Same way just tracfone and credit card and opened ebay/paypal and listed something all at the same time and bam NO 0/0 limits

and the one from last night did not get the listing pulled and the annoying call us within blah blah email which means it probably wont and the one from today I am just waiting to see.

I have been making stealths for 5 years now always come on here when I need to stock up on them so to speak lol and make more in bulk and I am good for the year. Well this time I have been having horrible luck since about July.
And probably been messing around with how I make them doing something just slightly different each time and seeing what happens.

Literally probably made 50 accounts and 20 were fine.

The rest I need to call to get the limits looked at which takes for ever and thats a 50% chance as well. Sometimes you get someone who is easy going and will lift the limits others want you to send in drivers license and so on.

So I am going to make a few more and hold my breath and hope that this has all finally paid off and I found a way that works for me.

If it does maybe you will start to see me under the Accounts for Sale!
HERE'S HOPING!

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Yea they take forever to answer calls i had to add minutes to the tracphone :X good thing i got a bunch of them for 5 dollars. Also if you get one of those operators that give a hard time, do you call back again or just give up on that account and move on?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

You can always try for better agent

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I just finishing listening and consider the account dead. You really can't just hang up on them and call again cause most of the time they have already made notations on the account that they require additional verification

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

The thing is they cracked down so much that im closer to a 1 outta 3 chance of getting a laid back rep who will lift the limitsand dont care. So considering it takes 45 min to 1 hr depending on hold times i rather use my time making new accounts especially now that im Pretty sure i got a successful way down. Just waiting on my bulk order of tracfones to come in the mail ha ha

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

hi just wondering if there is any news if there is a better way to not get the 0/0 limit i been reading on here almosts daily. But i am waiting to see if there is a technique or approach i should take.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

You have to read and re read this whole thread a few times if you havent already. I had a few issues that I was able to fine tune and tweak from a few hints and tips. I have not had one 0/0 or mc900 since. And I make AND list right away. Thats the best I can do, hope that helps!

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

+ 1 !!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD !!!
Same results. Get fully ferivied PP and 60-80% will be ok. Based on 20 recently created accounts. If you get unverified 99% you get 0/0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Well, finally had one 0/0 in awhile. Sucks.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing?

Getting better results with the 0/0 limits and MC9 Call us within 48 hr Crack down?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Been having quite good success lately, make sure you guys just convert to seller first, before listing, and after a day then list your first low risk item,
I know members don't recomebd this but, I've been creating with unverified pp as well , and google voice.

Going pretty well for now

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

i tried opening an account tonight with a common name real address and tracfone didnt work it got 0/0

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

What did you use for an IP?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

i used my regular comcast internet and changed the ip on netgear i just change the mac. I been tracking the ip it has been the same and i didn't link any other accounts with the ip.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I been doing all my stealths like this for years now that's why it's strange. The only thing i can think is that they are strict when you leave accounts sitting for awhile the account is a couple mths old so maybe i should create a brand new account and try to change it to a seller and not list anything and see what my limit will be beforehand.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I am starting to think this is a brand new system they put up to eliminate the amount of sellers on ebay so it's a system that has to be tricked totally different. I am thinking to convert to a seller before listing . I don't think its necessarily the phone i think maybe it's the order you do things.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Did you have PayPal verified and confirmed?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I had a vcc in paypal but not a bank. But the thing is the other 2 i tried i had banks confirmed and they got 0/0.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

The 0/0 limit pops up automatically after i list the first item . It's a message that appears at the top of the screen. I listed a low cost book starting at 2.99 7 day auction. So i would never list a high risk item. On the other 2 accounts i listed a eyeliner and old pair of no name brand used jeans all under 2.99.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Were the other 2 had bank verified?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Yes the other 2 I did last week had a verified bank but no vcc just bank's

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Someone said a vcc should be good enough to see my seller limit that add a bank later

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Hmmmm, I had a 0/0, paypal at 60%, meaning that I didn't have the credit card. I also used google voice. Can affirm that tracfone plus paypal at 80% would mean a lot less 0/0? If I credit card verify, and they charge me the 1.95, would I be able to withdraw that 1.95 back to my bank just in case I do get a 0/0?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Well I think the vcc in paypal should have been enough I don't think it would be necessary to add a bank also because probably same exact results
