what am i doing wrong?
 

My ebay account was suspended so i decided to go stealth.

signed up with a variation on my own name
changed from IE to chrome, cleared cookies and went to incongnito mode
downloaded ip changing software, kept country the same but changed the ip before logging on
used a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ address
new gmail account with a totally diff user id
used a prepaid sim card to verify my phone number
opened up a new bank account in my real name and got a new card. opened up a new pp account, verified myself and then linked the account to my ebay account.
i listed ONE item, a t-shirt lowly priced.
within an hour i was suspended again. they didn't say they thought the accounts were linked just that they wanted me to send in id that i am who i say i am and prove i have the articles listed in my possession!
any ideas? :doh:

Welcome to the forum :yar:

You are not doing too much wrong.

Just being a victim of ebay's methods of mis-treating new sellers because of what you did.

Which of the codes was the message, MC999? It's ebay getting you to prove you are you.

Have a read here of the different posts on MC010, MC011 & MC999.

Decide what to do next. Feel free to pm me if you want :pop2:

IP changing software is always a bad idea,

Many people use that same software and no doubt they've used it on eBay and got suspended.

Is your IP Address Static or Dynamic?

Welcome to the forums.

Well the thing i noticed that you never mentioned is windows user account.

It was MC999, getting me to prove who I am! I'll just give them those doc's ;)

windows user accounts? well i only have two windows user accounts. I use my buying account on my tablet and this comp im on now is what i used to sign up with my new accounts. its just had a new hard drive put in and a fresh install of windows before i re-signed up for a new account.:shocked:

Usually changing browsers is sufficient as they never share information anyway, but to be on the safe side I have all my eBay IDs on separate user accounts.

Welcome to the forums Jumba!

me too, use different user accounts...safer.

Yes best way is to use dif user account for each ebay account, and best not to use ip changing software as they only have certain amount of ip addys.
