Veteran Set-up Help!

[pookiehontas]

Ok. So I used to think I was proficient in setting up ebay and paypal, with very rarely getting an account suspended. But after I recently tried setting up new ebay accounts, it's getting permanently suspended within 24 hours of listing my first item.

I feel like I'm getting linked. I create a new windows log-in for every new account. I use a rolling dongle IP, and I record and check the IP addresses. I change browsers and the screen resolution everytime. What has changed? What am I missing?

The suspensions seem to happen at about 18:30 the next day. So it feels automatic, not through manual review. Like I say, I've been doing this a while, but can someone give me a tip as to what has changed or what I might be doing wrong?

I bought the guide a couple of years back, but there's just something in particular that has changed recently. Please help me as to what!

Your setup sounds OK.

It could be the VCC provider you are using, who is it?

This is with paypal linked bacnk accounts. No vcc. The Paypal part it fine. I've been doing some browsing, normal behaviour for 24 hour. Then I list an auction. And the next evening, my ebay account is suspended. What could it be? So annoying. The first one (recently) worked. But every one since has failed. What could be the link?

To be clear. Each ebay has a seperate paypal with a seperate bank account. I feel my set-up is sound, but they have me on something.

Are you using a high street bank account or a prepaid provider? Recently some of those providers have been flagged.

I would also always recommend adding a VCC to your paypal accounts

What item are you listing?

[pookiehontas]

High street. And it's ebay raising the flag. No problem from paypal.

I have this feeling it's browser, or form data related. But whatever it is, it's new to me!

[pookiehontas]

And if I'm doing all the above, it must be some new sort of fingerprint or behaviour link.

Or as Just_smile says something with your listing. What caterogry are you listing in? also are you using a fresh image and descriptuon?

[pookiehontas]

DVD's. I have a whole library of amazon images. Could it be the image that's the problem. I'm not the first person to copy and paste amazon pictures. The stupid part is I have the dvd in my possession. I think I should try using my own pictures whilst removing the EXIF data. If it's not that, I'm really struggling to see what it is. Thanks for your help guys. Maybe my set-up is not refined enough!

[pookiehontas]

It has to be the listing itself. Because if the flag is raised at account set-up they would suspend it then, no?

Take a real photo. List something completely inoffensive as your first item. See how that works.

I'm listing on new accounts all the time and never have these issues, so it's something relative to you.

[pookiehontas]

Yeah, they don't like me, and they recognise me lol. But the positive part is they aren't closing old accounts, just blocking new. I'll try my own pics, and even shifting category. I may just try the random crap I need rid of in the house lol. Thanks guys.
