So, your eBay account has been suspended for one of many reasons claimed by eBay Security & Trust. In the past four months alone, I've had various accounts of mine suspended for the following reasons:
(1) non-pay strikes (2nd most common reason)
(2) account linked to a suspended account (next most frequent)
(3) fucking with the ratings system via overt manipulation
(4) threatening direct physical bodily injury to a seller via the eBay email system (by far the most common with me)
Here is what to do BEFORE, yes BEFORE your account is suspended:
(1) daily if not thrice daily, save all your eBay screens onto your hard drive (items I'm bidding on, items I've won, items I've not won, items I'm watching, my Summary, my IN BOX, my OUT BOX). You do this by getting the respective eBay folder up on display, set the display options to max (display 200 items) so all your items will display on one screen and then select save page and label it with date and time stamp in file label. That way, when your eBay account is indeed suspended and you no longer have up to the second access to your bidding, items won, not won, watching, ...at least you have a saved copy hopefully not too old and out-of-date...I re-save my screens to my own hard drive every time I do a transaction (up my bid, create an opening bid, pay for something, ...) and you can just circumvent eBay's attempt to deprive you of your information. Then, having opened up a new eBay account under a new fake name and physical address, you just go back to your saved screens and start re-bidding your items from your closed/suspended account onto your new fresh account! See!
(2) lead on the eBay sellers who have already threatened to file non-pay strikes to re-coup their filing fees. Go into the Dispute Console and make up some kind of bull-shit like "I'll kindly pay you next Wednesday for a hamburger (or promise to not close dispute with a non-pay strike). String them along for as long as possible before paying them or just not pay them and tell them so and ask them to enter a mutual agreement to not complete the transaction - allot of sellers will agree to do this because eBay refunds their filing fee anyways - and you don't get a non-pay strike.
(3) once your non-pay strikes amount to two (2), it is time to execute your exit strategy because one more NPS and three strikes you are out. So, again, MAKE CERTAIN that you have THE LATEST and most recent information on your bidding, won, not won and mail box SAVED TO YOUR HARD DRIVE in Internet page form with photos, highest bid, ...then just start bidding with reckless abandon and cussing and threatening sellers who have fucked you over - basically, get as many items bid on with outrageous high bids so the collateral damage will be at its maximum for the eBay sellers and therefore eBay Security & Trust when you are indeed suspended and blocked. Target long-established eBay POWER SELLERS to fuck over on over-bidding on their items because they will bitch and moan the loudest and most effectively to eBay Security & Trust when you show up as a non-registered user and they can't get their $$ for your winning and/or highest bid. They have direct toll-free #s in to eBay and usually a specific account representative they can speak with in person at eBay. It just all makes eBay S&T look bad - and you want this because eBay Security & Trust is ENEMY #1 with the cheating, lying, con-artist eBay buyer.
(4) re-register with eBay using:
(a) a totally new email address you've NEVER USED with eBay registration before so it can't be cross-traced and your new account registration blocked. Just go make up a new email account on hot mail, Gmail, yahoo, ...and use the same fake physical address in your email account registration that you will use in your eBay account registration - so they will match up. Also use a fake name. Easiest way to accomplish this is to use Google Earth and look at some town or city map and select a road or street on the outskirts of town that probably does not have developed houses on it. Then make up a street number and put it with that street and use the corresponding correct zip code for that street's area. Get the area code and exchange prefix for that area and zip code by doing a Google search for businesses in that zip code and then just randomly make up the last 4 digits of the 7-digit phone number.
(b) IMPORTANT: You must use a new or different mailing address (physical) and email address than you've used on previous eBay account registrations prior on previously suspended accounts...otherwise the eBay user registration server software will detect it by cross-reference and block your new registration.
(c) use the same credit card number you have always used when asked by eBay registration. It does not even have to match the registered name and billing/physical address you used to register your new eBay account...just as long as it is valid...eBay basically requires a credit card # at registration to verify you are at least 18...the age requirement of most credit card issuers. I've used the EXACT same Visa card with VERY little line of credit on it perhaps ten (10) times in the last six (6) months to register various eBay accounts with fake names and physical addresses and phone numbers. eBay does not even have their shit together enough to cross-reference the credit card name, number and billing address with that of the eBay account registration name and physical address to see if they match! IDIOTS! Therein lies their ENTIRE bogus registration account problem. But, until they fix this loop hole, exploit the HELL out of it!
(d) Wa la, you should be set up with an entirely new account on eBay to go about raping & over-bidding with a brand-new fresh slate.
(5) Paying via PayPal
eBay is so dumb and not with it that you can actually use the same PayPal account you used on the last suspended eBay bidder account and never get caught. Even though eBay has owned PayPal for well over two years now, apparently the two companies don't talk to one another allot because I have paid for won eBay items with the same old PayPal account over several different named & addressed eBay accounts now suspended. All you have to do is when you check out on PayPal, be sure and CHANGE the shipping address to the name and address where you actually want the eBay auction item to go...because eBay will automatically enter the registered physical address you put in your eBay registration - which is fake - correct? So, you really must look out to change the shipping address to your own address and name on PayPal and eBay will be none the wiser.
(6) open several eBay buyer accounts at once so that you can perform shill bidding to scare off other potential otherwise legit bidders with long-standing high ratings, ...in other words - SQUARES! By bidding up the item high, by several of your other fake eBay buyer accounts and keeping on bid low - the account you actually want to win the auction in - you can then RETRACT bids made from the other eBay accounts you control under fake names/addresses before the 12th hour remaining on the auction leaving only your low bid remaining - which is now instantly the high bid. Of course, other bidders might come in in the last 12 hours of the auction and overbid you and bid snipers might as well in the final seconds - but as a numbers game, I've found this method works well...allot of serious bidders will not come back in the last 12 hours if the early bidding has been set to ridiculously unrealistic levels - they will just blow it off and move on, leaving you and all your fake shill bidders to do your dirty deeds. This method works about 30-50% of the time in my experience.
Also, by having several accounts opened at once, you can really fuck over asshole power sellers by filing excessive S&H complaints, fraudulent postings, counterfeit goods, ... against them ... if enough different users do it, they sometimes get suspended.
(7) register on a public computer in a public library or cafe, ... that does not require proof of ID to log-on. That way eBay can also not track you down by the IP address of the PC you used to register. And always use a public PC to do this fraudulent and legitimate (for items you actually want to acquire) bidding on your several different fake eBay accounts.
The key is to leave no paper or electronic trail back to your physical address and true identity. Easily done because eBay Security & Trust is a victim of their own huge success, there are not nearly enough staff people at eBay to police every single cheater out there...so, be a small-time serial cheater and you will get away with murder on eBay and fuck them back for fucking you in the first place.
And on and on and on...I know about every dirty trick and technical loop hole in the eBay system.
