Activity: 0% Longevity: 16% | | Has anyone been banned upgrading stealth to MP w/ real info?
Using all real info, has anyone been banned by eBay for what seems like them being suspicious of your name changing on eBay or names not matching on your MP bank account? Is the worst case scenario they ask for a driver's license? The problem is everyone in my immediate family has an address banned by eBay on their driver's license...
We're debating upgrading a 2 year old stealth account by inputting a family member's real info vs having them register a fresh account.
Long term stealth account in good health gives more trust to eBay I guess (but uses Google Voice) because they know I'm not scamming or selling counterfeits but new account, all real info is more pure? (and no Google Voice #, will use a real sim)

I converted about a dozen accounts by changing to my name, then giving my details. Every one of them went smoothly with no DL request. I tried putting xxxx info on some of them, but they immediately say that they could not verify. They do not ask for an I.D. They simply say that you need to correct the info, but if it is correct then you will need to provide I.D. If you just change the info, it updates and tries again to verify.

I had one that was a strange MP change over with constant 'enter info needed' messages. I tried but it would not let me enter bank...later it got suspended with no activity for more than a year just sleeping.
Later this account got restricted (while suspended mind you) with others that were alive but some sleeping. All MP, NO LLC's All real info.
So there are monkey's that take looks. I was singled out cause competition was buying into my accts then complaining, returning, leaving neg's. They buy 60 to 80% of my stuff when I list...creatures

sounds like the new system just wants the "right" people to be responsible for fees and such

Now when eBay asks for MP singup, you give your real info, name, SSN, etc. and it is verified. My question is that your account detials change too to what you just entered in MP signup, or do they still remain stealth like before, or do you change your account details from stealth to real info and then go for MP signup?

This is what concerns me, some are saying you don’t change info prior to upgrading MP. Others say you change your name which matches MP info. I don’t know who to believe at this point. Because my rational side says if you don’t change it when eBay conducts a review on your account they will clearly see the MP name is not the same as the name on your eBay account.
So much differing opinions on one process. |

Changed about 3 of them to my real info. 2 with last 4 of SSN and 1 with last 4 of EIN. Guess time will tell if it gets hit. I guess when it's time to upload full SSN when asked that will completely link but right now its goin ok

Under primary contact it shows my legit info..
I used single member LLC method.

So much differing opinions on one process. | It's not really differing opinions. It's that no one knows what's going to work, long term. Either way, it changes your name and both ways are working, so maybe neither is the wrong way to do it.

2/3 of my accounts did that. The first account I signed up back in 2019 (I think) when they were first starting to roll out MP is the only one that changed the name on the account. The other two still say "Welcome, stealth name" in the top left corner but have my real info as the primary contact.
I didn't change any details on any of my accounts prior to registration.
The thread isn't letting me quote but I think prowake is right. They just want to make sure they know who is running accounts.

My theory on this is if your account is aged and has history they are not going to just flag you for differing names, even if they saw it during a manual review. The reason being is that companies have employees. Thinking from a large scale perspective (which eBay has to do), there are many businesses that could designate a person to operate the eBay account as opposed to the actual owner of the company doing so.
If it really was a problem they could of just put some algorithm in place to detect differences from the names provided. Maybe at some future date it won't be allowed but thats why keeping our current accounts is always important.

Question - prior to MP, have you ever had an account with "real info" be suspended by ebay? I have, and my concern is that by using real info they will automatically link my aged accounts and suspend them due to my prior issue.
Any thoughts?
