Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

Hi all.

I've been making new stealth accounts and as of now have around 15 currently active, great. Ebays been adding a lot more security measures and well a lot more accounts (stealths) are going down (as I'm reading on this forum)

More so as a precaution it'd be NICE as it would be for all us to have our original account back! My situation is a tad bit different so I just want to run it by you guy/girls and see the best way to go about this.

The banned account(s) ebay/paypal are simply banned due to me not paying fees! This all happened when I was like 16 and well I just didn't feel like I needed to pay the fees...
I guess I'm not sure why I haven't just paid my fees back now but I plan on doing so asap.

What I've gathered on here is that when I call I will basically say
"I didn't pay fees on my ebay account that was along time ago and well I was a young immature kid. I would like to buy something blah blah blah..could I pay what I owe and get back to buying? (say the same thing with paypal)
...wait 1-2 months buy a few things...then ask to sell ..or just try and sell? ....

I have had accounts (MANY) go down due to linkage of my original account until I found this forum.
Last time this happened was early this year. I am pretty confident in my stealth that I won't get linked again I'm just afaird of getting shutdown due to a name/address not matching down the line...(the whole new security system 0/0 if that goes after older accounts down the line)

Thanks for any feedback.

thread title should read Hoping to get original account back.


Users have paid overdue fees which have been accepted by ebay.

For many and within a short period, the restored account gets a permanent suspension fot unknown reasons.

Since it is ebay, it's not iron-cast proof the account will stay active.

How long ago was it suspended?

:spy:

Sorry. It was suspended around 2009 so 5 years? It was ONLY fees...as the same with paypal. I got to believe if there was a good reason to lift a suspension (if they do ever) this would be it right? I don't know if I should say i was 16 but I was. It was stupid and would allow me to actually maybe get 100% back on my feet if I get on ebay secured.

I hate the feeling of having to be stealth as you NEVER no when you might get the boot. Ya its applies with real accounts too but you have a little more wiggle room in certain situations. I'm confident in what I'm selling and customer service. Not selling vero, offer 14 day returns, 1 day shipping handling....really want a legit business!

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

I see a lot of people get the copy right suspension or suspended then when they call they say if you pay your fees it will be lifted but since my account was only suspended due to not paying fees could this mean it will be lifted?

I WOULD treat this like a baby for the first 6 months...then go all out ..slowly

green do you have your original account?

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

It is hard to guess what ebay will do. Let us know how it works out for you. Wish you luck!

What made you join this then? Just wondering... I'm still on hold with ebay..

'cos I lost other accounts. Had a partner.

:rip:

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

If you already called them then it's probably too late to say this, but for future reference to anyone: don't mention that you were 16 because you have to be at least 18 to register for an Ebay account (at least in the US). They would definitely suspend your account for being an underage user (or in this case, keep it suspended) so hopefully you didn't mention your age, or you got a rep that didn't care.

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

i didn't say that. i don't know exactly what will happen. I have a my account in 2009 suspended because someone said I "sent them a photo" ...well I made a account in 2013 I forgot and listed a item..i think i got a mc999 and just gave up (ow 68 bucks). The lady first said I could buy but NOT sell on my original account (2009). I was like but its 5 years and I was a immature kid is it possible down the line I could sell she was then like "well if you pay your 68 amount you can sell on your 2013 account".

Doesn't make sense and I'm assuming that means I won't be able to sell as of now. I plan paying that off..have a buyer account for 50-60 days then call and keep calling till I get the answer I'm looking for. I mean its only fees not like VERO or some super violation.

I've been on the phone getting 3 accounts restored after the new 0/0 (all restored by the way and all different limits).
10/1000
5/1000
5/500
I've known this but today validated it. You call 3 different times with the same issue you WILL get 3 different answers. Getting people that are based in US is a MAJOR plus.

My first account apparently wasn't limited until my account in 2013 was created. I don't know if thats true or not and if it was just my original paypal account was suspended in 2009..hmpf. Never as easy as you think with ebay.

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

Well you broke 2 major rules.

One not paying fees.

Two creating more accounts after being banned.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for ever getting it fully operational.

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

Just learn how to make,better stealth accounts and learn how,to operate correctly, open a business, use your EIN and its a legitimate business account

All the stealth techniques work, you just need to be very strict with your operations no shortcuts, and accounts will be fine

The less shortcuts you take and the more you follow through the good habits form and it becomes second nature

The problem is if u start off sloppy, not keeping an ip log, checking ip everytime , etc than yes u will always have problems

But if u stay focused it. Becomes easy to run and accounts will be good

There is nothing special about an account in your info , other than it was suspended, along with many others on the forum, I think many forget this fact after awhile,and think,accounts in real info are solid and will never get suspended

This forum was made by members that had there eBay accounts with real info suspended , so run stealth the proper way and all will be good

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

I know but if there is a opportunity to get my old one back of course I'd take it. Nothing wrong that having a REAL account as a backbone. I have a log of ip's and everything. I like stealth its just would be nice to have my old one back.

I know but it terms of fraud/vero/copy right ... things like that is minor. Maybe thats just my view of it but if I get my buyer account back SOME time down the line they will reinstate it, i gotta believe.

Plus who knows what will happen when ebay and paypal go there separate ways soon. There could be changes in policies we have no idea about.

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

as for now i have 15 stealth accounts... most awaiting increase in limits. Once that happens I'm good either way.

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

An EIN account is a REAL account.

Re: Long Time Stealther Getting Original Ebay Seller Account Back!
 

Changes...smokes and mirrors...rarely anything great for sellers these days
