Suspended on Barbed Wire Image by Olga_Dietrich

Being suspended in eBay is quite a nightmare. Once you are no longer registered, you are wasting time and money in not being able to get back to your old account.

It is an opportunity to earn money lost right then and there.

Getting suspended is quite a common occurrence on eBay, usually from being linked to suspended accounts that the person has no involvement with whatsoever.

In this matter, eBay has no remorse and will rarely reinstate accounts wrongfully suspended, however unjust it may be. Of course, such a big company will not admit to any mistake and they don’t really care much about small sellers who become victims.

Fight back within a day.

Follow this procedure to not get suspended again.

Basic knowledge about cross link systems is crucial, along with other systems.

They possess such a system, so never enter information used in your last account. Also, use a different computer since they log IP addresses, as well as different software from what you used with your last account.

Whatever you do, always do everything differently from what you used to do with your last account so that you don’t get caught.

Their system tracks down particulars about an account and its association with its user, including everything done and used with it. If caught, you will get suspended again.

Staying under the radar is crucial in this procedure.

Keep in mind that reformatting and reinstalling Windows will only clean up your system and not necessarily make you scot-free upon registering a new account. You can do so and not need to reformat anyway.

STEP 1: BECOME INVISIBLE
Do what it takes to get a new IP address and have your browser clear your cache and even your cookies all the time. You cannot afford eBay tracking your movements. Use cleaning software for best effect.

STEP 2: CHANGE IP ADDRESS
Since eBay has that Trusted Selling With Identity Confirmation policy going on, it will record IP addresses. They will also try to verify sales and other activities you may do in a different computer via phone calls and other means, so stay vigilant.

STEP 3: NEW EMAIL ADDRESS
Gmail works best for this.

STEP 4: NEW MAILING ADDRESS
Whether its a new PO box, UPS store, or other stuff, it’s fine. Just change it.

STEP 5: NEW PHONE NUMBER
Either a new line or cell phone number, it is fine.

STEP 6: UNINSTALL PREVIOUS AUCTION SOFTWARE
Whatever it may be, even if it’s your favorite or something, just uninstall it. Use something different with your new account.

STEP 7: USE AUCTIVA
It is recommended that you use Auctiva to create your new account. It has templates, image hosting, and scrolling galleries to help you with your online business.

STEP 8: CREATE AN AUCTIVA TOKEN FOR EVERY NEW ACCOUNT

STEP 9: GET NEW PREPAID/GIFT CARD
Two cards are best, either Visa or MasterCard. Use them to verify your PayPal, especially if you got a new one.

STEP 10: START OUT SLOWLY
This is to divert attention from yourself, since doing things quickly immediately will make eBay staff suspicious.

STEP 11: NEVER USE ANYTHING FROM YOUR OLD ACCOUNT
Information, pictures, software, everything. Make sure to not make them know that you are the same person as that of a suspended account.
