Every new Ebay account gets suspended - new policy?
 

Hello,
all of my new Ebay accounts get suspended after my first listing...on every new account I put Fresh UK IP Burger, new Sim Card, new VCC, new Email, I can`t understand where the problem is, before new year I didn`t have any problems...now after I create each account and get suspended I need to call Ebay support and answer their questions, after that call they fix the account, and sometimes they tell me that this is about their new policy on every new account we need to call them for verification...in some of the conversations with them they say that from this device they see that there are already created other accounts...what exactly they mean by device, what do they detect, I`m using mozilla firefox portable, and for every user I have separate Firefox Portable in its folder. THank you in advance

I have the same problem ..

Wait 2 weeks after list your first item..

Re: Every new Ebay account gets suspended - new policy?
 

This is a setup issue you have. I'm selling on new accounts all the time and it does happen, but not as frequently as you are making out.

I would look at your setup and try and identify the issue. (likely the ff portable causing your issues) Try using user accounts instead and see if it still happens. (test 4/5 accounts, not 1 or 2) then report back.

True. It is getting more difficult to create new account, but not every time the new accounts to be blocked.

I just posted about this before I noticed this thread.

It happens to me every time! But I just call them up and they ask a few questions and restore the account every time.

I was wondering if this does halo make an a or stronger as it has then had a manual review?

Cheers

No.. it doesn't make them any stronger since it's an indication that right out of the gate there's something causing eB to not trust your accounts.

It's good that you've been able to restore them though. If this were me I'd just sell as usual on the accounts and not worry about the verifications.

Hi, why would firefox portable be a problem? red flag for them?

Re: Every new Ebay account gets suspended - new policy?
 

8/10 accs ive set with proxys got banned and reopened
0/10. accs set up with real ips got banned.

it happened to me 2 times that a 4 and 6 month acc got banned and were eilglble for appeal. I didnt pass that cuz i wasnt selling in uk (it is random which employ you get).

So i can tell you for sure it is the ip if you do not get linked directly by bad cookies.
But I would rate an account which was banned and reopened as beter than a never banned acc

There is something in "advertising preferences" under "account" in Ebay where they list a number of ways they are tracking the specfics of your computer. Maybe go and uncheck all these options.

i got the same problem even i got the tool to make the mac id as same as the real one, and they notified me that my account was used the same ip with an existing account.....

Re: Every new Ebay account gets suspended - new policy?
 

I started to think about this more closley. I have looked at my set up which has always been the same.

1. New user account - same computer
2. Tether a phone wiped so its a new phone, new sim, network and number
3. New email, images disbaled
4. Paypal verified and confirmed with new bank and debit card (for the card i get the address to match so it passes AVS)

So i thought bollocks it has to be to do with listing. I put up 6 items with vairiations amounting to 400 items. Nothing happned. Then 1st sale and bang. same email and suspended.

But this time when i call they wont re instate. She says '1st time she is told to ask questions then reinstate' second time it apparently just says 'do not reinstate'

I reckon it really is just the amount of items and doing even the first one to fast to trigger that 1st suspension.

These are all low value £1.5 low risk items.

Name on debit card does worry me a bit, but i ordered some things with my wifes card from a normal website. Made house number post code correct but used Mickey Mouse as the carholder and a made up town and nonsense street and it went through ok. So it looks to me they cant.

Then i think about the finger printing and cross browser finger printing, could it be that they are using this more? I can turn off and spoof some of this in firefox and using add ons but does it make you more suspicious i wonder?

Then i think make to the old MAC address thing, i dont thiink they can read it, but have things changed? I think this can be spoofed as well but is it worth the hassle?

It seems 1st item cause a flag then 1st sale rases a flag. Then they look, see loads of items and bin the account.


What do you all think?

Re: Every new Ebay account gets suspended - new policy?
 

This happened to me, I posted this on a separate thread about 2 months ago but you just need to take everything super slow and spend time building cookies properly

Also, when you do your first listing make sure you type the description like a nubie with messed up spelling make sure the photos look a mess so when the chat guy reviews the account it’d Act as proof that your completely new
