Re: limited acount with entropay
I think there is certainly an increase in security measures against new accounts using entropay in the last week.
I have over 30 accounts total, always used entropay on all of them and never a single issue these last few years. This week I created 7 new accounts, I always list as soon as I create, again never had an issue. I had 4 of these new accounts shut down within a day of each other, requesting statements for my debit card (the entropay). Interestingly those 4 all had active auctions running. The other 3 the auctions had already finished and first payment received and they are fine so far *touch wood*. My accounts were not linked in any other way, and the fact they are requesting only the statements would certainly suggest to me the issue is solely entropay.
I have since altered my creation methods a fraction and put another new entropay backed stealth up, lasted 24 hours so far but we will see.
A little worrying to say the least though and not sure whether this is the start of a larger cull of entropay, which would be pretty disastrous for myself and I am sure many other stealthers too, or just a sporadic crackdown on a smaller scale.
My accounts were 100% unlinked though and I am ultra cautious in my creation and listing approaches. I have gained a small reassurance reading that others have had similar issues this last week but obviously that doesn't stop me from being any less nervous about the whole situation.
