Ebay accounts suspended MC113

[invstr]

Hello, I've got 30-40 accounts which got suspended without a reason at the same day in the same time 5 April between 16:00-17:00 with the message MC113, I've been working all of the account different ways, where could be the problem..could anyone give any ideas what could be the reason for this?

The message from ebay was the following:
MC113 Your eBay account has been suspended

Your eBay account was suspended because recent account activity has raised serious security concerns. We've taken this precaution to protect our members while we make sure that the activity doesn't cause harm -- however unintentionally -- to the eBay Community.

You won't be able to use eBay in any way. This includes using another existing account or registering a new account.

Any outstanding selling fees are due immediately, and any amounts that you haven't previously disputed will be charged to the billing method currently on file.

Regards,

eBay Customer Service

There's always a "reason" though you probably can't identify it clearly.

What did you try to sell right away?

Explain your account setup

There must be a problem on how you set-up those multiple accounts.

[james_112233]

40 accounts. You made a human error somewhere believe me. I can barely navigate 4 accounts without nearly slipping up on the stealth rules.

If it happened at the same time on all accounts, then you have linked them somehow.

MC113 is generic in my experience, it can happen when you first create an account, or just after listing your first item.

I've never seen it after that.

There is absolutely no doubt that you got linked. Losing that many accounts at exactly the same time means they noticed something that linked all these accounts.
Those accounts are lost and gone. I speak from experience on this. Don't even bother thinking you can get them back.
What you need to do now is concentrate on the future and key to that would be to figure out where the link happened.
Were you using all the accounts on the same PC? what IP solution were you using? Give us more info on your setup so we can try to figure it out.

I've had the similar experiences. Probably Bots looking for lots of accounts made within a short space of time on the same computer

All accounts were on one PC, I'm using IP burger...is it possible the problem to be from the password all 40 accounts had the same password this is the only common thing

Bingo. That is definitely one of the factors.

Ok, so now my acc set up is the following:
20 accounts, all accounts are in separate folders and every account has a separate IP burger, I use Mozilla Firefox portable, I create the emails in hotmail, ebay account setting up addresses questions linking pp etc, paypal account + visa virtual card, and all passwords and questions for all accounts are different.
This time there are no common things, I also read the Ebay Stealth Book, am I doing it right in your opinion?

I also do one more thing I hide the internal IPS in the mozilla firefox portable:

I enter "about:config" in the address bar, then click on accept warning message, I enter "media.peerconnection.enabled" in search, then doubleclick on "media.peerconnection.enabled" in search result to change it to false.

is that actually okay to do?

have u edited the "FirefoxPortable.ini" file and saved in root folder, the linking on your accounts sounded as though your firefox is using local storage for Flash cookies
even if you created accounts with same password isn't hard evidence for linking as its possible it could be 20 different people
Ebay also cannot see your machine ID

I bought 5 Ebay accounts from one of the seller whereas I always buy from a specific seller for last 5 years. All those accounts which are bought recently got MC113 at the same time and same day. I have not even opened any account just checked the email. All accounts got mc113 on 26th.
I am waiting for the seller reply to resolve this matter otherwise I will ask aspkin to intervene.

OP has not made a reappearance. aleen, you already made a post about this

[dazller_the_great]

according to my experience with AI security systems , the AI can detect any patterns in the activity of the accounts management server , if it can notice that there is any similarity in any way even if it was created on different iP's or or account info , it will still detect the time stamp , if many accounts was created in short period of time the system will notice this and flag them all and get them reviewed by an officer to accept the suspension , so never make so many account at short time no matter what .

there is a change of attitude of ebay security team , showing more aggressive attitude ,suspending a lot of new and old accounts just for the slightest reason or suspect,
thinking they are doing well by that to protect ebay , while they are just literally destroying the reputation of ebay fiercely , which i think is a good thing , so that this will hopefully crash ebay totally to an un-recoverable limit , and cause it to be out of the business , so that they would be replaced by other websites that is much more capable of managing this huge market in much more proper modern advanced way than the primitive way ebay does .

yes , common password is easily detected as a pattern ,
never do that , even though changing the password alone is not enough

this is what you do to block the webrtc attack from detecting your real ip , whaich was a good thing before , but lately ebay started to suspend accounts created with browsers blocking your real ip , if they cannot know your real ip , they will suspend you ,

wrong , eBay now can see your machine full fingerprint , and they will suspend you if they dont like you for any reason
javascript scans all your device and make a full report about it , and any similarity to a previously to a previously suspended account , it will cause you a spicy steaming suspend for your new account

It could be right
