Phone is a EE pay as you go mobile.

Not sure if this is any clue, but on one of my last account when i requested after a month higher selling allowances, it asked me to confirm the user id, email address and phone number of another ebay selling account i have?! It says once i confirmed the details they would send me a pin and once entered it would match the limits of the other account. Thought this was really strange?! Then i thought could it be something to do with the random stealth address chosen, maybe there is already an account registered at that address or something?!

Hi, apologies for the delay responding. I have been away for a few days. ok, so step by step of my last account made :

set up a new user account on my laptop. I have started using internet explorer as opposed to firefox. So i opened a new ebay account using stealth address and name (i used to use variations of my own name but as they all got limited, i have started using a completely different name). Date of birth also random.

I bought a cheap pay as you go mobile and use that for mobile number.

I use entropay and created a new card. I then use this for paypal account.

I have not linked a bank account yet.

I have a spreadsheet to log the ip addresses I have used. When i log into a new paypal or ebay account i switch my router off and on and this generates a new IP address and I do this prior to logging into the relevant user account for the ebay/paypal account I am logging into. (I have completely seperate user accounts per each ebay account as advised in the stealth guide).

I don't sell high risk items. I was only selling a £20 item every few days. It seems to get to 1-2 weeks maximum and then the account gets limited by somehow being linked to my other accounts. There is absolutely no similarities other than city of the address. Absolutely stumped as to what it could be. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any advice. FYI, I am female and not very computer minded, however i am doing everything (I think) as per the stealth guide but obviously something can't be right unless ebay has some new fancy way of linking accounts. But if so surely everybody's stealth accounts would be down the toilet?!

As stated before, the main Web Browsers do not share cookies and other sensitive information across different User Accounts.

I am unsure about Firefox Portable, I have never used this.

How do you know you are being limited by being linked? Does it actually state your usernames/emails you are linked to?
Because most often if you are selling without verifying your paypal account with a bank account you usually get limited asking to supply information.
