It seems my eBay guide about suspended accounts has been one of my more popular posts. My random blogging about my car breaking down or me hitting a deer over the summer doesn’t seem to stimulate you people as much as eBay and their suspensions. Fine.
You guys have questions — I’ll try to answer them.
So your eBay account has been suspended and your business is drying up and about to disappear. I’m sorry. I’ve been in your shoes before many times. You spend hours setting up your account only to see it the next day Banned!
How does eBay catch me you ask? Well they track everything! Everything! You’re IP address, your email, your website URL, your credit card, your name and address. They keep track of all this information and more to identify you.
If you are banned they will use this information against you. Example: If you try to create a new account with the same credit card, you’ll receive a warning that that card has been banned and you need to try another card. Please don’t try another card, eBay already has you. They have identified you as a suspended user and if you try to sign up with another account without changing your IP address and deleting your cookies, the new card you try will be banned as well.
EBay has you. But not for Long.
Like I said, eBay tracks all your information. Your goal is to create a new account with new information.
Use a different email address. Use a widely known email provider like Gmail or Yahoo. If you use your domain email, example ebay@aspkin.com it’s easier for eBay to track you and ban you. Another example. If I had an eBay account using ebay@aspkin.com and they banned it. I wouldn’t want to create another eBay account using ebay2@aspkin.com. EBay is not dumb, they will ban you. Even if eBay doesn’t find it within a couple weeks, your competitors will. Don’t risk it.
Become someone else.
You must change your name and address but keep it in your area. If you’re in San Antonio, Texas don’t make up a new address from Los Angeles, California. EBay is not dumb; it’s easy to track your location through IP address.
Don’t believe me check out this website: http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation
This brings me to your IP Address.
You must change your IP address before creating a new eBay account. Once banned eBay has your IP address, every time you log into an account with that IP address eBay knows who you are. Sure they’ll let you create a new account with them, but their bots will auto suspend you the next day. Change your IP Address every time you create a new account.
Emm cookies. Yep eBay leaves cookies on your machine. Clean them up. Delete all your cookies before you attempt to create a new account.
Use a pre paid credit card.
Once you’re suspended, you won’t be able to use the same credit card to create a new account. You’ll have to get a pre paid credit card or use a different credit card of yours. Try not to use the same name and address when entering the credit card information for eBay. Add extra letters change the address a little. Just enough not to get caught. If you’re able, use a different name and address with the card.
If you use gallery pictures, have eBay host them. Try not to host them on you’re own server.
Try to follow eBay’s rules. I know they are picky bastards but you got to play ball if you want to stay in the game.
- Don’t spam them with thousands of auctions with 999 quantities of each auction. This is a red flag to eBay and they’ll probably auto ban you.
- Don’t list more then a 100 new auctions a day.
- Don’t give eBay a reason to ban you!
- Don’t have external links on your auctions trying to promote your website. If eBay doesn’t catch it, you’re competitors will.
Last but not least, once you are banned, let it be. Create another account and run. Never log into a banned account after you create a new account. If you do eBay will link those accounts together and the fate of the banned account will be shared. Your new account will be suspended as well. 🙁
A run down on how to create a new account after being suspended. IMPORTANT! In this order!
- Delete your Cookies
- Change your IP address
- Register with a new email address
- Sign up using a different credit card
- Try not to use the same information twice
- Never Log into banned accounts
I’ve created quite a few eBay accounts and out of trial and error I’ve figured out what I just told you, how to get around suspended eBay accounts. I’ve seen people trying to sell information like this for hundreds of dollars. I give to you for free.
A side note: I have just finished my final guide to eBay suspensions. If you would like to know more information, here is the link.
Discuss eBay suspensions in our brand new FORUMS.
Good luck!

Yes, I believe so BUT IP linking isn’t that big of a deal these days as long as everything else is different.
Hi, do I need to change the IP on my device if I have a new internet provider? If so, does changing an IP tiba device create any problem?
Also, will I need to change the IP if I got a new IPhone?
Regards
Ben
No, you’re good to go.
Can they track your Wifi? Or can you still use the same wifi?
I think you mean IP Address? Yes, they track IP addresses and you will need to change yours before going forward.
So if you use some other computer, do they still know it’s you? Like a laptop at your home? What about a library computer. Is a VPN usefull?
VPN is great. I would recommend eBay Stealth if you haven’t read it already, it will guide you to getting back on eBay easily.
What of your Paypal? If I make a new paypal w the same information but a different email, can they track that?
Yes, of course. You’ll want to go with eBay Stealth. Follow it.
Thank you for the info. I just do not understand eBay. They suspend accounts that have 3 negative feedback’s a year, but they keep the once that have over 20 negative feedback’s. That’s just not smart, not smart at all.) After eBay account was deleted for how long do they keep the seller information?
Hello
I have question about pictures. Do they can identify me by properties of pictures uploaded? Or have i change my camera?
Regards!
Why dont all of us that have been WRONGLY kicked off ebay FOREVER Rather Harsh I Think open a new website
Hi, If I go on ebay from a 3G network with a new account, will they trace it to the one that was banned before. How do IP Addresses wotk with 3G networks
Yes they do indeed track you.
They just suspended my account because I was logged in when I was abroad. They sent me an email stating:
“Your account is currently restricted due to discrepancy between your account activity location and registration address.”
They now want me to change my address to that country. What the hell? It’s been months and they keep insisting I change it. I think that account is as good as gone. Unless we can register eBay accounts to a hotel or something.
Dumb ass eBay.
Hi
Can I use my US based ebay and paypal accounts while I am in Pakistan?
Can I use my other ebay and paypal accounts (because I have two of these, one registered in VA and one in Canada)on the same PC or shall I use two computers with different internet service providers?
Can I use any US based internet service provider to provide me internet service if using it from Pakistani IP address is a trouble?
Thank you very much and your help will be highly appreciated.
Best Regards

Hi, I’ve been registered with Ebay UK since 2008 and I have 100% postive feedback. About a week ago I sold an item, the buyer says he didn’t receive it and Iam guessing his going to open a case wanting his full refund, I know I will be loosing the case as i don’t have a tracking number for the sent item. So I have nothing to prove, so I decided to delete my Ebay and Paypal acount. I was just wondering if Ebay can still get through to me when my acount is closed. Thank you
Hello. My paypal account is suspended, but my ebay is not which is very strange and it still remains after a week. So my problem is: will my ebay account be suspended?
Also can i ise different paypal account on my ebay account? Will my different paypal account will be linked and suspended? Please get back to me as soon as possible. I really need an answer. Thank you
Hi i m from california, my id got suspended so can i make a different ebay id using different credit card but same shipping address?! then i’ll not be caught or still i can be caught?!
Cheers!
Hello,
I got the ebook, it’s really usefull!
I wanted to ask you a question regarding a Canadian eBay account.
I registered an account in eBay Canada and I used a Canadian bank account for PayPal.
If I add an additional (US) bank account to PayPal, will they consider me as a US account instead of a Canadian account?
I would like to keep this account registered only with Canada and to make sure there is no indication that I sit in the US.
Thank you for your help.
Try one of the alternative payment options listed on this page: http://www.auctionstealth.com/alternative-payment-options/
Cheers,
Hi, I was really interested in purchasing your ebay Stealth guide but all I have is a Visa Debit Wachovia 440.00 Gift card and unfornunately I was unable to process the final submission due to a gift card. I can use another card but I have had bad experience with doing this in the past and my bank account gets charged for more fees. I bought this card at my bank just to get your guide do you have any suggestions? Thanks Charlene Johnson
Is there any benefit to closing all accounts associated with the suspended account and waiting awhile before signing up again to sell? Of course I would take all the above steps but with the accounts cancelled, a link to the old account would be impossible, no? Also, if your suspended accounts are closed, a new ip is made, and all cookies are deleted can they track you in any way? There would be no info to compare it to…not sure just a thought. Please advise…
Hey Aspkin,
Just stumbled on this page…awesome by the way.
Just one question. Does getting suspended have any effect on paypal? Will i be able to send money to the original email address i used when i signed up for paypal? Ive head that paypal and ebay are basically the same company.
So basically i just want to know if when i creat a new account can i keep my original paypal account since thats tied to my bank account.
thanks matt
Hey,
I have read everything… But I have couple questions to ask.
I was banned from Ebay six months ago… but I haven’t try to re-open a new account.
Can I add the new email address from ebay to my old Paypal? (Since paypal has my old bank account.)
The pre paid card is only for the new ebay account right?
Hope you answer soon….. Thanks
Your best bet is to read eBay Stealth and check out the forums.
Good luck to you!
my paypal was suspeneded or limited because they linked it to a previous account they shut down, how do i get around this???
This will be the last post for this article. My new eBay suspension article has been published. If you would like to learn more about eBay suspension, follow this link. eBay Suspensions / Suspended Account Guide
Thank you everyone who has contributed to this article.

Hello,
I need to know if this was my problem. I should have added my new email address to the paypal account. Is there a difference between sending payment and receiving payment with emails that are connected to suspended accounts? I have more items to pay, but haven’t yet because I think I messed up. Will adding my new email address now still work, or is it too late?
Hi Dawson,
Yes I mean listing description and titles. You’ll want to change these around a little bit to make sure they’re not an exact copy of your previous auctions.
You won’t need to change your hosting domains; surprisingly eBay doesn’t look for that when it comes to auctions pictures. They only thing they watch for are the Gallery Image! Make sure to have eBay host your gallery images. If you must host it your self, don’t host it on your own server. Host it from photobucket.com or imageshack.us; a well known website. Trust me on this!
Exellent!!! Thanks.
When you mentioned file descriptions, titles … did you mean listing desciptions and titles? If so, do I have to change the image file names as well?
And one more thing. I’m currently hosting the images on (eg) abcde.com to display images in item desciption of my listings. however, since my account was suspended I am moving all my images to (eg)12345.com. The problem is although the domain names are different, the IP address of both domain names are the same. Would this be a problem since it is hosted on the same hosting company.
Thank you once again.
Exellent!!! Thanks.
When you mentioned —> file descriptions, titles
Hello,
Thanks for your tips and I have created a new account successfully.
However, I still have one more question about paypal. Is there any problem if I add the new eBay account into the Auction Accounts section of my old paypal account so that paypal can make Automatic Logo Insertion to my ebay listing. This is also known as Auction Tools for eBay.
Regards,
Lee
Is there anything in the registry settings that ebay tracks that should be deleted?
Also, for clearing cookies, would you recommend a third party software such as windows washer or whatever, or is it ok to just use the tools/internet options/delete cookies option in internet explorer?
Can I pay my ebay fees using my old paypal account?
I’ve set up a new yahoo mail address to receive payments but I’ve just noticed that the ‘parent’ paypal account still has my name on it.
Won’t they be able to like together who is paying the fees to my old banned account?
Does it matter if you log into PayPal usng your IP address that has been “banned” from Ebay?
Thanks in advance
Hi James,
As long as you didn’t log in to your new account with your laptop you’ll be okay. Downloading the images from outlook will not send any information to eBay. The only time information will be transmitted is when you actually login to your eBay account. You can reply to those emails if you wish, and you should have a problem.
Regards,
Any way to get a prepaid credit card without entering your SSN?
Hey there again!
Just got another question for ya:
Ive successfully made a new account with eBay and all that, different IP etc, Just won an item, could i use my old PayPal account with the same address entered on my previous eBay account which was suspended, to pay for an item ive just won? Because, it says that Paypal and eBay are the same companies?
oh, this is not anything related but i have no idea how to handle the taxes. Do I really have to file the taxes and stuff.
dun have to anwer if you don’t want to, as this is another post topic or something.
thanx
New visitors please read through the questions and answers already posted. Most of your answers are there.
I plan to create a new eBay article with more details shortly.

Hi Ray,
It’s good to have your account address and CC address the same, but if you’re unable to, I’ve never had a problem with it.
Jackie if you enter you real number, they’ll be able to link it to your old suspended account and ban you again. Try to use only the CC, look for prepaid credit cards online.
Hi,
I’ve read through the procedures in creating a new account. But I still have one question. Is it necessary that the Credit Card’s address has to be the same as the ebay’s account?? Eg, I study in US but my credit card was issued in my home country.
Thanks
Hi again,
Sorry also..
Just wondering if eBay also tracks your phone number? Because now, when i register, they want to confirm my identity with either a phone (land lines) or a credit card. And, i haven’t got that prepaid credit card, and not sure if i should put my landline number..
Again everyone, please read the previous post for your questions and answers. Most questions that can be asked have been answered.
If you have new questions by all means post, but please be aware because of my recent business projects I’m unable to answer you as fast as I would like. Please allow me 24/48 hours to answer you back.
Thank you,

Nicole I think the best thing to do is forget out your old account and simply create a new one. The reinstatement period takes months, and you’re not guaranteed your account back.
It would be easier to simply create a new account.
Hi, would you recommend account reinstatement or should I just forget about it and open a new one? The only reason I’m asking is because I don’t want to lose my 100% feedback…Thank you so much.
Hi, I just wanted to take the time out to thank you because I pretty much thought it was the end of the world with not being able to use eBay again. They’re not very friendly when trying to reinstate an account. Numerous emails of mine had went unasnwered and no phone support sucks! Thank you so much!
I found out something that worked for me. I had a paypal account linked to a suspended ebay account. I opened another ebay and paypal account in a friends name. When I won an auction, I asked the seller to send me his paypal address. I would then pay directly through paypal with my original paypal account, not through ebay. I selected the (goods other) option. I didn’t have any problems.
hi,
Great info. thank you so much! I’ve been selling again thanks to your advice! One quick question, can i pay my seller fees with my original paypal account (by using my balance i have in the account) or will they link it to the original ebay accounts that are suspended? I’ve made all the changes you’ve asked to make but was just wondering if that would be possible to pay with the balance in my paypal account rather than the credit card on file with ebay…Thanks in advance
I have also heard that ebay can read the user id and computer pwner name. Should anyone who needs to start a new account change the computer name and add a new user? Ir, is this overkill? Thanks
Wow Murph707,
Yes I believe that’s overkill. If that was possible I wouldn’t be able to create all the accounts I have and continue to do so with the same computer. Actually I use two but still.
Totally False
Lol Thanks Steve,
We’re good on clothes at the moment. I do appreciate the offer though. I’m just happy my article was able to help you. This article has been my most popular one, and it says something to me.
There is a demand for this information. So I’m thinking of putting something together with more detailed information on the subject and sale for a small profit. Anyone interested or did I give all the information out already? lol
Regards,
Thank you for the info……can I donate some womens clothes to your wife or girlfriend or donate something to you. I am a ups driver and get all kinds of stuff for free from my customers. I just want to give you something back for what you have given to thousands.
Hello,
I am having a hard time changing my IP address. Can you give me the instructions on how to change the IP address for DSL?
Thanks!
Again for new posters, most of your questions are answered already, please read the above post for the answers.
Thank you,
free2sell,
I’m not sure anything would compare to eBay at this time. The only other option I would consider would be craigslist.org, but that’s just me.
You can email me at kingbrend@gmail.com.
And no you don’t have to make it your primary email address, it just needs to be there and no you don’t have to delete your old email address even though it was suspended, you can if you want though.
One more thing regarding ebay. When I add a paypal email address to my current paypal account, do I have to make it my primary one or not? If yes, do I have to delete my primary one? The primary one that I have on there now is the one that was associated with ebay when they suspended my account.
google base is one to look forward to.
HI free2sell,
Yes this blog is fairly new, and I haven’t had a lot of time to devote to it. Though I’m glad I was able to help you.
And yes there are competitors coming along, though they are still far from really competing with eBay, in the new future eBay will have to fight to stay alive. That means less restrictive rules, new services, lower prices and more. Competition is a great thing.
Oh also,
Could you keep us posted if PayPal merges with ebay.
I hope there will be something else besides ebay in the future, are there any other sites that have caught your eye?
Hey Aspkin..
I spend days looking for all the info you had compiled here. I would like to thank you for providing this service to everybody who has been crushed by the ebay giant.
One thing, it was kind of hard to find your blog for some reason, but I am thankfull I found it.
I almost ended up buyin a book for 30$, which would have been a big mistake.
Thanks alot
Hi guys,
Most of the questions here are being asked over and over again. Please read the questions and answers that have been posted above. I know it’s a lot, but please try before posting a question.
Thanks,
and we have paisa pay over here ., which has the same address as registration address for ebay., we dont have paypal out here but paisa pay is much more better
One more question, how about the name and home address ? Is there any problem to use to the previous name and address ?
I have a question with the bank account. They need it to sell on ebay, I have tons of credit/debit cards but the bak account gives me problems, let me know if you have any thoughts!
Oh, and thanks for all your help! Set up a donation via Paypal thing and you’ll be rich!
I ordered a prepaid Mastercard gift card today online and assigned all of my ebay info( i.e fake id, address, phone, ect) and should be availble to try it maybe mid-next week. When they check that card for address verification though won’t it go back to the card that actually made the pre-paid card purchase? Thats what I am worried most about. You personally have dont the prepaid cards before and they have worked sucessfully? And just curious, how many times have you failed trying to get back on Ebay?
Hahah, Thanks for complement, I might just do that.. the adsense ads I have on here.. well.. Let’s just say… they’ll just be able to cover my monthly hosting bill. LOL Good times!
Is it safe to use the same paypal account on the new eBay seller account to receive paqyment ? or just change the paypal email address will do ? Let’s say, the owner of the paypal account is the same as the suspend eBay one, does it really care ?
Hi there, just wondering will eBay check the listing gallery photo. as well ? Coz’ i already have another new account with new ip address, hard disc, name, debit card and paypal account. But still get caught finally and the reason they banned me was “related to the suspended account”
coz’ the photo. got my web site written on it .. and that’s the only way i could think they could track me … correct me if i’m worng
Hey Niceguy, what did you use for a credit card? Just curious as you did not mention it. That’s the only way I can think of they tracked you. Also do you use the same Paypal? I am trying to get back on Ebay myself and am trying to avoid the pitfalls.
just to inform you that my girlfriend tried the proxify. Not so good because what it does it show IP address’ from other states like you said ebay is not dumb they know when something looks weird we are in Phoenix it was showing IP addrfess in Michigan
what if I have another existing acccount that is not suspended, and is on a different credit card. If I go in to it thru a different IP will they catch it?
When you sign up and give them a fake name/address at Ebay and lets say you do the same at Paypal, if you use Paypal shipping your address is going to be whatever name you used right? I am somewhat confused about the name changing. Isn’t that going to cross reference somewhere?
Tamara, yes that’s true. If you’re unable to change your Cox cable IP, and log in to your eBay account, your account will be banned. Usually when you have a router connected you must reset that also to accept the new IP address, which is a pain.
Niceguy, users like Tamara have IP address that change with every page they visit, so I don’t think that’s a reason your account was suspended… what reason did eBay give you for the suspension?
has any body used torpark try it its free.,but even after goin by the book i am suspended i feel its due to the constant changing of ip adresses from one continent to another that ebay is alerted or do they get past the proxies too.
I do not usually use aol. I am a cox user but I have been dialing on because it changes my IP so I can try to get another account open hru ebay without them tracing my cox account so I am assuming until I can change my cox ip I am safer using aol dial up?
Mr. Niceguy,
I’ve seen some of these IP programs in action, and they seem like a good idea. I’ve never actually used one my self so don’t hold me to it, but it looks like they would work.
Regards,
Thanks
for some reason my ip address keeps reverting back to the original one! I will phone my service provider to find out why.
thanks
so just to skew my ip could i use hide ip platinum or such similar softwares or should i use just my cell phone for the same.
Hi,
thanks for that, I have managed to change my ip address.
Everything I sell I buy from Ebay and am worried some would get lost . I am moving house soon so am wondering if it would be better to wait and then use my new address with a different name.
Once again, thanks for your help, I have been going mad trying to find a way of opening a new site and staying on!
Hi Stevie,
It’s true. All you need to do is add the same email address you created for the eBay account to your Paypal account; confirm the email address and you’ll be able to receive funds from eBay into your Paypal account. Trust me on this, it works. If you are banned again, just delete your email address, and simply add a new one. You don’t have to make it your primary email address either.
Good luck,
Hi Keasha,
It depends what eBay is suspending you for. Please post the reason they give you for the suspension, and I’ll try to help you out.
Regards,
Hi there, what am I doing wrong. I keep opening new accounts and change address and everything, but ebay still manage to track me and suspend me. I do everything by the books with the new account, new computer and the whole lot. What am I doing wrong?
It’s a totally pleasant surprise to see someone actually cares! How do you make a living giving this free, timeconsuming advise?
Thanks so much!!
Jorg
And I totally forgot to ask:
Are there any good auction sites out there?
Any recommendations.
Mind you, I’m in Canada
Thanks
Jorg
Thanks for the advise!
But now what?
Do I pay outstanding fees? They inform me I may go to the “second stage” of my appeal against the unjust suspension after Oct.11,06
I owe them about $ 130.00, they are asking for about $ 165.00, which includes the fees for these darn removed listings. Looks like they add insult to injury.
Do I wait and see what happens after Oct. 11 or dump the whole issue and start fresh (as you advised above)?
If I don’t pay the fees will they not just go to PayPal and grab the money anyway?
Regards
Jorg
Is it totally irrelevant that eBay advised me they had made a mistake by removing the ad in the first place? More so, subsequently placing the listings back in my account for re listing. I wouldn’t have re listed had eBay not confirmed the ads were OK to relist.
It doesn’t make sense!
Rgeards
Jorg
don’t you have to have a different bank account to open a new account? can’t they trace it from having the same bank account?
What prepaid credit card do you recommend? I am looking over some of them and I don’t know which will be best. I am looking for something that does not get overdrafted, for when ebay decides to autocharge credit cards.
I don’t fully understand the solution with the CC. If we use a new CC or a prepaid one, what’s the difference. Moreso, if we get a prepaid CC, and the name is the same (address is already different) would ebay be able to detect the name? If this is the case and it’s not an issue, can we use one of the new credit cards that we have without worry?
Thanks
Prepaid Credit Cards work the same as a regular credit card when it comes to your name and address. You should be able to enter a different name and address for the CC or if you’re unable to change a few letters and numbers from the address and name.
And your IP address should be fine.
You say above to use a pre-paid credit card. I’d very much rather do this than give them another one of my credit card numbers. I know these cards are pre-loaded w/ cash, but how do they work when it comes to the name and address. eBay already has this information and can compare it. Also, our IP is registered in DE, but our offices are in NJ. Does that send up red flags to eBay?
OK, will do.
One last question – we replied to their email from a new IP address. (have not yet created a new eBay account.) I’m assuming that they can not track an IP address from either reading an email and/or responding to it.
Is that correct?
We have also been accessing our previous email address, which was used soley for eBay business.
Thanks for your help!!
That’s correct; eBay can’t grab your IP address from emails. We often forward all our emails to one email address and have been using the same one for years now with no trouble at all. Just make sure not to log into your eBay account from an email, they can grab your IP that way. If you simple reply or write to there won’t be a problem.
Hi Brad,
Yes they’re just trying to get money from you, even if you pay the balance your account will still be suspended because of the other linked account. The best thing to do is to forget those accounts, and start fresh with a new one.
Good Luck!
Thanks.
We were linked to a suspended account, which I thought was paid in full. Now they suspended our new account. Do you think they are trying to get money from the old one and won’t activate our new account?
Hi,
If the initial reason for being banned is because delinquent fees, then yes paying the balance will reinstate your eBay account. If you were banned for another reason and they’re asking you for a payment promising to activate your account afterwards, then no they’re just trying to make you pay the balance.
Good Luck!
I had an account that was banned, which I emailed time and time again to get cleared up. I finally received a response from eBay and they said I needed to pay over $300.00, which is from eBay fees and items we sold, but shipped.
My question is, if we pay this, will they activate our account again, or are they just trying to get more money out of us?
Thanks!!!!
Thanks for the info on the changing the IP address.
Do you know if the only registered IP address w/ eBay is when you open a new account, or do they keep track of each IP address that you used to log into an account? (basically, do they keep each accessing IP address ever used to log into a seller account)
Thanks for your help on this.
Awesome information. Thanks for your assistance.
My only question is, how do you change you IP address? I have comcast high speed and I’ve tried several times to reboot, unplug, etc. to get a new IP. It’s not working.
This is the last step in us restoring a new ebay account.
Please advise.
Thanks!
Great info, I was wondering, does my paypal registration information have to match the credit card and registration I use for ebay? Specifically, does the name and address of the bank account information (in paypal) have to match the credit card used for the ebay registration…or is it just the numbers that they watch?
hi, thanks for your info, I didn’t try, but I hope it works. My question is about credit card, I have canceled my “banned” credit card and ordered a new one with different card number. should this “new” card be used ?
Yep, eBay tracks your credit card by its number. If you use a new credit card it’ll work. A faster and easier way instead of canceling your current credit card and ordering a new one, would be to use prepaid credit cards; they’re cheap and work the same as a regular credit card.
Also when setting up a new account, try not to use your exact information from the previous account. Change a few letters in your name for example. Good Luck!
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, my Internet Service has been down for a couple days, bad weather here.
As for your question hosting your own auction photos doesn’t seem to be a problem. It’s the gallery hosting that seems to do it. Just make sure not to have an entire auction make from images, eBay can kill your auctions for this; other then that you should be okay.
I appreciate your articles on eBay account suspension; they have helped me overcome an unjust eBay suspension of an account that was pulling in thousands a week. Why they would want to ban such a revenue source, I’m not sure.
Also, a quick question if you would; do you think having pictures hosted by my own domain in the html code would like the accounts together? I use eBay for gallery photos, but in-auction photos I use my own hosting. Let me know! Thanks!
