How to Open a New Ebay Account After Your Account Has Been Suspended
1. Clear your computer completely... this includes cookies, browsing, cache, etc. Then, download a new browser. If you haven't already, try Firefox or Opera. Ebay tracks their users with many different methods, including your browser; downloading a new browser will help ensure that Ebay is unable to track your old activity. You might want to consider using an alternate online auction web site, as eBay has gotten a bit too big for its britches in most recent years.
2. Change your IP address. This can often be accomplished by contacting your ISP or by resetting your internet connection. This process varies from ISP to ISP but is absolutely necessary. IP address is one of the most common ways that ebay catches old account users who have switched to a new account. You may have to leave your computer's router unplugged overnight or longer, but eventually, you will get a new IP address, which is your ticket to freedom.
3. It's time to create a new account! It is highly recommended that you obtain a PO Box to register your accounts under. This means you will need a new email address, new ebay screen name, new phone number (pre paid phone), new Pay Pal account, new everything. Don't use your old auctiva account, or your old image hosting account. Don't EVER attempt to log into your old account using your new "clean" browser, or Ebay will flag your account. Don't use any of your old information (name, address, etc.) or your new account will be flagged before you know it.
4. Set up a new Pay Pal account. When setting your new account, be sure to use separate banking information, and set it up with a pre-paid gift card. These are available at Walmart for $25, and you can use the card for purchases once you have associated it with your PayPal Account. Keep in mind that Ebay and Pay Pal are absolutely linked, and do exchange information back and forth, so use caution when inputting any information into either one of their systems.
5. Once your account is set up and confirmed, begin selling slowly, with small items, and gradually build yourself up to selling more items and higher priced items. Do not jump back into large sales, or expensive items or your account will be scrutinized and possibly cancelled again. Start slowly, and get back up to your usual sales, and you'll be good as new in no time. Good Luck!
