The accounts I use and have been getting a 50% rate of 0/0 on are over 9 months old.

That said, I've been getting better at getting around the 0/0 limit. I was 3/4 the other day when I tried a new technique

[lolzcat]

Had a friend make 3 in a row yesterday with 0/0. Made with tracfone

[nodeal]

that's interesting lolzcat, can you provide more info on name/address your friend used? email provider? ip address?

[khanxyz0z]

so i created 2 accounts today but both got the 0/0 limit

first one i created i got the 0/0 right away as i was trying to list my first item but,the second item was listed but when i checked the limits it was 0/0, and item was still active untill after an hour i got an email mentioning that i have reached my limits

anyone find a diffrent technique?

this is probably the first week im having this issue

[aspkin]

It could be how you created your account... what is your process? And what services do you use?

[khanxyz0z]

these are the exact same techniques i have been using in the past.

-new user account
-ip is always new since i tehther from my ipad(always reset it before logging into a diffrent account)
-made paypal and ebay with random name, real address
-always used google voice, just to modify, i tried tracfone (but was unsuccessfull)
- using vanilla visa gift for cc
- i never attached bank account for a whilet,had always worked for me in the past.


thinking of this time using a tmobile phone and attaching a vba, going to let you guys know how it works out

gonna try to find a pattern this time

[pr0wake]

are you logging your IPs

[Dmshark25]

This,is,where a Entropay comes,in handy, you can make your own VCC AND all,u need to transfer depending on the currency and the day is $2.10 and you don't need to confirm the card , u can just add it at first , and once u have limits than confirm the card with the charge.

Makes things a lot cheaper and much more convenient,

When I first created my real account, I had 100/1000 limit before it was suspended

Then I recently created a Stealth account and has 10/1000 limit, dont know why :(

[Kiroshi]

Skimming back through this, it seems to be all for you guys in the US. What are you guys doing different?

[nicoleleeli]

I am getting 0/0 accounts the past 2 weeks also i am scared to even open one today because i will probably lose it . I here people saying its the phone i am using callfire forwarding service i usually use area codes around the address on the account. I dont know what it could be am i missing something here is it a new update on ebay???

[nicoleleeli]

Please if anybody knows the new technique to follow let me know i am lost without making new accounts i feel scared that i have no backup. I am doing everything i did in the past. Just confused what's going on now?

[aspkin]

Read through the thread. You may want to try TracFone instead of a forwarding service.

[lolzcat]

No deal, He uses my technique which is just a common random name and a pulled address from zillow. Ebay is made first then during selling paypal is created. Two weeks ago made 12 with no problems but then he had those three in the row.

Uses new ip address on century link internet, Email through Gmail.

[khanxyz0z]

ok, guys ive been trying to call ebay limit department all day for past 2 days,
they picked up twice, after i was on hold for about 2 hours each

first of all i noticed a diffrent mc999 when my item would first be listed, this time not concerning the item at all.

so i asked why the longer hold time?
they said they recently implemented their new verification system.
so they have a lot of traffic for verification, and somethinf about the iphone 6. that there having a huge rush

next i thought, ok there going to ask about the first item i listed, where i got it and how im shipping it etc and im finished.. how they used to ask before this week

with this diffrent mc999, they really dont care about the item at all, rather they just want to verify you as much as possible

first rep let it go easy, and though couldnt verify me, still gave 25/1500

second rep was really dedicated to keeping the enviorment a safe place lol,
told me to submit id

just a heads up to the ppl creating new accounts right away

Isn't it better to confirm the 1.95 first before turning into seller to see the limits?

[nicoleleeli]

hi what do you mean confirm 1.95 before turning into seller? I didnt know there was a way to tell beforehand.

[plumsake2]

You don't have to confirm the VCC to see your selling limits - you just have to create a selling account. It's a good idea to fully verify the Paypal account before doing that anyway, but not required.

If you're using something like VOIP or Gvoice for your phone verification, when doing a reverse phone lookup it will show Bandwith.com VOIP or something similar, versus a prepaid phone which will show AT&T/Sprint/Verizon (Tracfones included; they run off of a variety of those networks) etc. I think that's where the problem lies - a normal person would just use their cellphone (or landline) when making an Ebay account whereas VOIP-like services are mainly used by stealth users, which draws suspicion.

Anyone who has ever called into ebay because of the MC999 where they ask easy questions probably was asked "Are you calling from a cellphone, landline, or VOIP?" before. I'd imagine saying VOIP would be a fail on that question.

[aspkin]

That's an interesting hypothesis plumsake2.. and it could be true. I'll have to research that more.. thanks!

[Dmshark25]

I'm still using Textplus or, Textplus and getting limits on accounts, maybe 2 out of 10 get the 0/0 but it can be fixed, so I'm not so sure it's the number , or at least the number alone
