eBay accounts - please help!

I’ve previously tried dropshipping through two accounts, both of which were met with MC011. Recently, my 10-year account was permanently shut down, and it’s been really disheartening. I tried bringing outside sales to eBay when I could have just handled them elsewhere. I suspect the issue may have been due to the sale coming from the same IP address and the high sale price. I’m devastated. I tried appealing, but received automatic replies without any consideration of my message. Has anyone dealt with MC011 or account bans? How did you manage it? Ever got the accounts back? I see a lot of people using so called “eBay farm,” and do really well. For me, keeping a few of my own accounts has been very challenging. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get back to selling on eBay? I’m open to dropshipping but through a safe, legit way. I currently have a lot of inventory sitting at home and feel really hopeless right now. Please help!

The only way to get your account back is to call eBay support and explain them the issue. Even then it entirely depends upon, who picks up your call

Sometimes they reinstate the account.

Start using multiple eBay business accounts verified through your relative and friends ID and pay them abit of your earnings to them. Don't use stealth and all that shit. Use clean ips , real addresses and phone numbers.

If you're dropshipping, keep your sales volume low especially in first 3 months. Maintain your account health in beginning, get to daily payouts.

If you have some inventory sitting in your warehouse, its 10 time easier for you to get back to eBay.

Show them your inventory and invoices and make them believe you're a genuine seller.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your advice—I truly appreciate it.

The issue is that they mentioned the account recently permanently suspended is linked to “multiple” other accounts, not just one or two. While they didn’t specify the account names, I suspect they’re referring to the ones with MC011 holds. Interestingly, I was able to make a purchase yesterday without any issues (still w the hold message on seller page), so I’m wondering if I should leave things as they are or go ahead and submit the documents to prove I’m a legitimate seller. But then, the possibility of their “link” detection might, or most likely will, trigger detection of the other recently banned account makes me hesitant.


Regarding using a friend’s ID, I’ve always been curious about the bank accounts. Would it be okay to use mine, or would I need to open one under their name? If so, wouldnt it affect their tax situation? I assume no one would want to deal with such complications, which was why I never tried asking anyone. Please adviseeee. Thanks a lot once again.

Dealing with eBay’s MC011 suspension and account bans can be tough, but there are strategies to reduce risks moving forward:

1. Antidetect Browsers: Use antidetect browsers to manage multiple accounts. These tools help create separate browser environments, avoiding detection by isolating cookies, fingerprints, and browsing data for each account.
2. Proxies: Combine this with dedicated residential or mobile proxies to ensure each account operates under a unique IP address. Avoid free or shared proxies, as they can be flagged by eBay.
3. Low-Risk Behavior: Start with low-value listings and gradually increase activity to build trust. Avoid sudden spikes in sales volume or pricing.
4. Separate Payment Accounts: Use different PayPal or payment methods for each account to prevent linking.
5. Appeals and Communication: When appealing, provide thorough documentation to show compliance with eBay’s policies. Persistence can sometimes help.
6. eBay Farms: While some sellers use "eBay farms" to manage multiple accounts, it’s important to verify the legitimacy of any services you consider.
