Ebay suspensions MC113

[jezza]

Hi

It seems increasingly difficult to make Ebay accounts, even buyer accounts. For example I make the simplest of buyer accounts, then a few days later I get the MC113 email.

I made about 10 accounts, ALL of them got the same

[JamesNorth101]

I expect something is linking you

What’s your creation method?

Usually a MC113 can be lifted with a call to eBay

[jezza]

Portable browser, clean IP, gmail, that's it really. Like I said, just the simplest of buyer accounts. Before I had no problem, this happens with seller accounts too - everything good then 1 week later its gone

[JamesNorth101]

Where are you getting the IP address from and are you using FireFox portable as a browser?

If its happening on all accounts it sounds like a linking issue.

[ethanhunt]

eBay purge of small and medium sellers in the beginning of the year.

[dachilla]

If he got linked, wouldn't he get another suspension message?

Portable browser will not hide your PC configuration.
For example common mistake that users allows flash player.
Canvas fingerprint,
Web GL
The same system fonts.
It's enough to close your account by pure link to previous accounts..

[dachilla]

Many users here are stealthing successful with portable browsers only.

Canvas fingerprinting and system fonts can not be used to uniquely identify users.

Not sure about webGL but it would have been mentioned somewhere.

WebRTC should be disabled in order to prevent DNS leaks, but that's not gonna get you linked. It gets you less trust.

Every modern browser has flash disabled by default.

Canvas fingerprint won't be the main thing to link you or suspend account.
But if you have a few other similarities like ISP, the same browser version, same fonts, and the same selling pattern, then it's enough to find you out.

WebGL is even worse. It will leak a lot of info about your hardware version.
Exact model, driver information and even hash info.

I am not saying that you can't run a few accounts just using portable browsers, but if there are talks about tens of accounts and selling pattern is quite similar then it will cause issues for sure and by manual review it will take just a couple minutes to link all your accounts together.

Been there, done that..

I'm not sure I made myself clear, there are getting MC113 before I even use the account. With a simple buyer account with no details registered apart from email, password etc

Same happens on Germany

Take us through your account set up in detail.... Something is very wrong for all accounts to get mc113.

What are you using specifically for IP addresses?

[jezza]

VPN, although I tried without and gives me the same issue. I seem to be having less suspensions now, maybe 50/50, compared to a couple months ago

[ebaystealth1974]

Which VPN?

[jezza]

I have now very few problems with starting new accounts. I use a mixture of clean mobile IP's and VPN. It was the weeks preceeding Christmas and just after when it seemed every new account was getting MC113, now i'm not getting any

[garry]

I have the same Problem with private or Business acounts!

ALL get MC113's! I startet to call eBay in and the are asking for docs on every account ...

My Setup is:

fresh Portable Firefox
fresh Name
Fresh IP (4G Dongle - tracking IPs by Excel)
fresh VBA



Also getting this **** MC113 even if there was no sale or purchase on the accounts.


I think stealth Business is getting harder and harder!

[jezza]

actually, I checked my UK accounts and I have lost 50% of them, which is ok because I made loads.

I suggest not making too many accounts too quickly as some have been banned within a couple of minutes of each other.

Also try mixing up browser, email, IP etc, as it seems there is a manual check

[17anton17]

Just thought i would chip in here since it happened to me as well

Been out of the eBay game in general for a few years due to a new job but wanted to start up again. Made an account, listed an item the next day and suspended a few hours later. made the rookie mistake of adding the bank account as well so was a bit gutted and accepted the account was gone.

However, after reading the suggestions here I went ahead and opened up a chat with them and they told me that they do this in order to verify sellers, seems like a stop check system. Anyway, after a short talk about confirming my address and items I was selling, they reinstated my fresh account!

Not sure if this is helpful to anyone but it worked for me can provide the chat if needed as well.

HI, do you have the actual message from ebay about the Mc113 suspension?
I also have this in one of my newly created accounts. It says that they have linked me to a previous banned account(s), which is kinda impossible since i'm using all clean resources. And just only this account got suspended with Mc113
