Hi guys,
I was thinking about going back to eBay and I see that a lot has changed with MP, I'm throwing some questions to you:
Does the Wise vcc's for eBay still works?, I tried to enter one and I get an error that the address doesn't match. I'm sure that Revolut vcc's doesn't work, any suggestion of VCCs for paying fees?.
If I pay eBay fees from my bank account, will they see my real name and ban me? I know that mismatch for receiving is fine but for paying the fees?
I was thinking of opening a LTD company with Tide but I have read horror stories on trustpilot, my other option would be to register it with another registrar and add Revolut Business.
is a business account better than a personal account for stealth accounts?
Thank you

Welcome to the forum OP - all the best as you master stealth
Marketplace sellers have VCCs that should work.
They can see the real name but ban will depend on other issues such as what you sell, other links, etc.

Thanks for the welcome @rsot.
My personal account was suspended (due to a previous ban in another country) and I was selling low profile and low value items.
All I did was register with my real UK details, I thought maybe the database wasn't linked to the different countries, and after selling 2 items under £10 I got the message "your account has been suspended... your account has been permanently suspended due to activity that we believe put the eBay community at risk". I guess I got flagged for putting in real bank and credit card details.
Do you guys think a LTD will work, or when they see I'm the director will they ban me again?
I have to think hard about how to set up new accounts.

It was very weird, I didn't sell items on eBay for several years. And I decided to get rid of some low cost products I had at home. I didn't have an eBay UK account, so I registered, placed the 2 ads, auctions at 1.99. Within a week both listings were sold and paid for, I sent them off, put in the shipping tracking details and forgot about it.
Within days I received that message (maybe 2 or 3 weeks from account registration), and a few weeks later I received the payment from eBay/Ayden.
The only reused information I put was my name, DOB and ID. The phone number, address and bank account were new, I had never sold on eBay UK nor cashed in pounds, nor used that bank account.
I was banned, maybe 18 years ago, but this people never forget.

I think so, it were two toys for kids, one was branded. But I didn't receive any warning of VERO or anything, just a few days after the end of the auction, BAN.

Thank you | Revolut works perfectly for paying fees and printing postage labels off through PayPal check out as a guest to get funds quicker.
No they won’t see your name when paying fees. When you make a sale through eBay the fees are automatically deducting from your sale. If you list a buy it now and it doesn’t sell then it’s 0.35 I pay using revolut. But my item sells anyway I just pay if it says negative 35p

I prefer personal accounts because you don’t have to worry about a seller dashboard late delivery rate etc or cancelling an order if you need to. It’s just an easier life for me.

I use IPBurger residential proxies, a multilogin browser, a real data of a friend, new account, I put an advert of a non brand cheap item, I didn't add the bank account first, I selected I will add later.
And after 30 minutes, I receive the email "permanently suspended because of activity that we believe was putting the eBay community at risk".
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? it's very frustrating.
The only weird thing was the phone number (burner phone number textme), all the other set up was premium ( IPBurger, multilogin).

It was an UK "textme" phone number (virtual). I listed the item for 1.99 pounds.

Your better off creating an account with a 99p SIM card and free phone number on the back.
Also the item you listed was too cheap. I would list an item £30+ with paid shipping as well.

Yes, the virtual phone number can be a problem. I Will use a prepaid SIM card next time.

Maybe there is something new going on at ebay? Sounds a bit like what happened to me except for the fact I was never banned before, I got a 30 days restriction on my account which I waited out, when the restriction was lifted I decided to open a new account not to risk suspension, listed one unbranded no risk item and ironically I got suspended permanently with no appeal and for no reason, waited a few days, opened a new account and listed 1 item and the new account was banned in 30 minutes.... seems weird and it seems more people than usual is having trouble this days, judging by the amount of new posts with similar issues.

Took me 16 accounts to finally get 1 account working right. Once you know how the bots and system works it’s very predictable and you can work around it. Just keep trying and you will conquer it.

I use websites that give you a temporary number for verification purposes, I understand now why my accounts were banned at the moment of start selling despite of using good proxies.
I bought some SIM cards for testing purposes, I hope this time works.
Thanks again for all your advices.
