How to successfully create an eBay account without getting suspended right away

[lildick]

To successfully create an eBay account without risking a ban, follow these guidelines:

• Be over 18. Ensure you meet the age requirement.
• Avoid dishonest practices. Don’t engage in scams or try to hide your identity; eBay will catch you and ban your account.
• Open a personal account on your mobile device using the eBay app, connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
• Use an established email address rather than a new one.
• Provide accurate information. Enter your real address, payment details, and phone number.
• Make a purchase within 24 hours of creating your account.
• List an item within 24 hours, and be prepared to enter your bank information, Social Security number, and confirm your address as required by eBay.
• Expect a temporary suspension. This is common, so be ready for it. When it happens, respond through the app within 24 hours and request a call.
• Answer all questions honestly during the call.
• Prepare to upload images of a government-issued photo ID that matches your name and address.

As a tip, if you receive a call from eBay at (866) 540-3229, make sure to answer it; this could be your only opportunity to resolve any issues before facing a ban.
eBay employs numerous measures to keep scammers off the platform. If your main account has restrictions, it may lead to a permanent ban, and any suspicious activity, even if unintentional, can result in eBay assuming you are trying to scam buyers or sellers.
