Losing all hope
 

Hi guys
I have been getting my new stealth accounts all suspended indefinitely.
I have been doing this for a while and never has this started happening to me.

NEW USER ACCOUNT ON WINDOWS
FRESH VPN (FROM SELLER HERE)
VCC + VBA (FROM SELLER HERE)
TRAC PHONE
FRESH EMAIL
STEALTH ADDRESS WITH MY NAME ON IT.

I make a dummy listing for a used item.
I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

Any input would help fam.

Re: Losing all hope
 

How long are you waiting between the creation of the account and the listing of the first item?

Re: Losing all hope
 

if you keep making accounts with your same name and address on them, they will keep getting linked.
Try making accounts without your details on them. If you have been banned once with your info, you need to use stealth or this will keep happening.

Also what category is your item you are listing? it may be used but is it a brand name item?

Re: Losing all hope
 

I would assume OP is not a noob to stealth based on how long he has been a member of the forums and the fact he has the stealth guide.
This means he is most likely using all different info so that is not the issue.
The second question is valid - what items are you trying to list?

Re: Losing all hope
 

stealth addresses *
not the same address
the details are all stealth

Re: Losing all hope
 

the initial listing is a for like a used stamp
i wait like 1-2 days before listing it

Re: Losing all hope
 

As I thought.
Youre not waiting long enough and youre not creating a history for the account.
Look at it from EBay's perspective. Heres a new ebay account created a day ago and its already turned into a seller account and trying to sell a stamp. No history whatsoever yet trying to go advanced and sell.
I would suggest waiting at least a week or two and creating a full history for the account before you try to sell anything on the account.

Re: Losing all hope
 

Well when he writes this i would assume he was using REAL INFO and not stealth.. :doh:

Re: Losing all hope
 

"REAL ADDRESS WITH MY NAME ON IT."
i meant like it wasn't an address that didn't exist.
i use addresses that exist with diff name

could it be the vba or vcc im adding on paypal ?

Re: Losing all hope
 

LOL.
I see your point.
OP confirmed that is not the case and I think he pretty much gave the reason to this situation. Listing on a brand new account without creating a history for it.

Re: Losing all hope
 

Its VERY possible i guess
I wasn't like this a couple months ago.
But thats fine its time to adapt i guess.

Re: Losing all hope
 

I highly doubt it.
I assume youre using the VBAs and VCCs that most people on these forums use so if that was the reason a lot more people would be reporting this situation.
As it is I myself am familiar with this situation and know that listing within a day or two will bring about a suspension - I speak from experience.

Re: Losing all hope
 

yep you need browsing history along with bidding etc.. and then it will be safe to list.

Signing up and waiting a day and then listing your first item without doing anything will cause flags.

You need to think like a person who has just joined ebay for the first time.. they will look around, browse etc..

Re: Losing all hope
 

Stamps can be precious or currency related. Some times things change with ebay so sell a screw driver instead.

Re: Losing all hope
 

OP, take the following steps with regard to account creation:-

1. Stop using your real name on every account. Use random, made up names.
2. Wait longer before listing your first item. Browse on Ebay. Do a bit of bidding. "Read" the tutorials on selling, etc, etc.
3. Mix up what you are listing as a first item.

Almost certainly it is (2) that is causing the problem ie not waiting long enough before listing however it might also have been as a result of churning out accounts in the same name and listing the same first item.

Re: Losing all hope
 

the first item i list is always different

must be the wait time after account creation.

Re: Losing all hope
 

if your not listing a HOT item then even if you list five min after acct creation you shouldn't be getting suspended... its clearly something with your acct creation...:boink::boink::boink:

Re: Losing all hope
 

That is simply not true.
The amount of time you use to create a history and wait before you list an item has everything to do with this situation. I know this because I have tested this thoroughly.

Re: Losing all hope
 

I have also had incidents where listing too fast seemed to be the cause of a suspension; whereas, if I had waited at least 4 days or longer then the item would list fine.

Re: Losing all hope
 

me and you have simply had different results then... it depends on item more than anything... so whats true to you is false to me or something like that :peace:

Re: Losing all hope
 

Can you manipulate cookies be changing time on your computer? It could possibly speed things up a bit....

Go and bid on things you know (lowball) you wont win, add some sellers to you watch list, add some items to watch list and then browse the help section.

Act like a newbie.... Do this for a few weeks and you will probably just get a notice for one time call in. Have info ready.

Re: Losing all hope
 

I can also say that I have never had a problem listing immediately after an account was created.

Re: Losing all hope
 

me neither i never get a problem listing immediately. also i never add a vba to paypal just a vcc and i also don't link my paypal to ebay. i think you should not use your name at all. that should get you good limits.

Re: Losing all hope
 

So it means your new accounts all survived with listing immediately? These accounts created recently? I tried to create new account and list immediately. Almost all account suspended. I have the same situation as host. Waiting time was not a problem half year ago. But I don't know if it is for now.

Re: Losing all hope
 

I know people who sell right away after account creation but I prefer to bid/browse/buy for about 2-4 weeks before

Re: Losing all hope
 

80% of the accounts I make get suspended if you list even within first two weeks, so surely you need to browse around and let your browser pick-up more cookies.

Re: Losing all hope
 

Just a technical note on that, paypal cannot see non-paypal cookies. Browsers do not let, say, paypal.com look at amazon.com cookies. That said, if paypal puts an ad or little script (such as a buy now button/image) that resides at paypal.com it CAN see the cookie even though its embeded in another site. So, another reason to use separate user accounts / VMs / etc. Ive never thought about purposefully logging into a PP account and roaming the net to "season" an account. Does this really seem to help?

Re: Losing all hope
 

Absolutely does. I "awaken" all inactive accounts before using them by of logging in, clicking around, letting time out, logging the next day etc.... If not, very easy to have to call in or worse, confirm by phone and a lot of my older accounts no longer have a phone attached or an inactive one.

Re: Losing all hope
 

Best to build browsing history and take it nice and easy

Re: Losing all hope
 

This is especially true for PP if its been a while since you logged in

Re: Losing all hope
 

Browsing around ebay for items, putting some items to a watch list and etc.
