I just had 3 accounts shut down, were all selling potential vero items but not ones that get taken down that often, have learnt over the last few years which items are removed and which are not, all going fine until there was a problem with one of my accounts, they gave me a 7 day selling limit but did not close my account, said i could still buy but not list any new items, so complied with, 24 hours later all 3 were taken down, including a shop with over 1,000 items in it, no recent problems on either of the other 2 accounts - 1 was a power seller with over 8000 feedback and the other a trusted seller with over 5000 feedback. 2 days later they took down the pa yp al account i used with all 3, then emailed all my recent buyers telling them to claim their money back as they would not be getting their goods, despite the fact they had all been marked despatched and buyers had been emailed to tell them goods on their way! I cant get at any of the £500 in my paypal account for 180 days, so this has been a very expensive lesson for me.
If i had known then what i know now i would have made 2 of the accounts proper unlinked stealth accounts and still be in business, not starting again from scratch!
It really seems to be worth having several separate, unlinked accs on the go at once, including separate user ids on windows etc, i must say buying the stealth guide has been a real eye-opener for me in terms of how ebay keep tabs on you, all it takes is for the wrong sort of person to review your account and you are up the creek without a paddle!
