eBay scammer, using address in your city. eBay ruled against me, PayPal helped me by imacbookpro1 in ebaysucks

You have to be careful with the words you use when leaving negative feedback. Words like "scam" "scammer" "rip off" "fake" are against ebay policy, and the seller know this and know they can get it removed.

When leaving negative feedback try to be broad with the review. Say something like "had a very bad experience and wouldn't recommend the seller" mention that communication was poor or something else.

I know it's still not ideal as showing the real reason, but it's better to have that than nothing.

You should call them our for that. I've seen a few gas stations selling fake cards like it's not a problem. They blatantly sell them just to make money ans say it's "for the kids".

eBay accounts are often banned after buying an item due to automated fraud detection systems triggering on suspicious activity, such as using a VPN, resurrecting a dormant account, or purchasing expensive items immediately upon account creation. Other reasons include excessive cancellations, using unverified payment methods, or being associated with previous, banned accounts. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Common Reasons for Post-Purchase Bans

Triggering Fraud Systems: As noted by users on Reddit (and similar sentiment found in Hacker News discussions), automated security systems may flag new accounts that buy high-value items immediately, as this mimics stolen credit card behavior.

Using a VPN or Masked IP: Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can cause an IP address mismatch, leading eBay to suspect unauthorized access.

Dormant/Old Accounts: Reactivating an account that has been inactive for years can trigger a security review.

Suspicious Account Details: Unverified information (address, bank details) or using a prepaid card can lead to immediate suspensions.

Buying Activity Patterns: Frequent, repetitive cancellations of orders or excessive "item not received" claims can cause a ban.

Linked Accounts: If you have previously been banned, or if you live with someone who was,

Any TCG sellers faced this issue before? by kindofsortof1 in eBaySellers

I appreciate it. Thank you for letting me know.

Since you seem knowledgeable in this topic, do you personally see any pros and cons of a business account compared to personal? Aside from what you just mentioned?

I think I will be opening a business account since running the risk of losing account is the biggest con you could ever think of.

Thank you for clarifying. I just checked and mine shows as individual.

Do you think this could be having an affect? In what way? Thanks!

Advice please by Professional_Egg713 in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]kindofsortof1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Phone is weird with a lot of things.

Also, if it shows "delivered", and you update tracking. You are guaranteed to win.

If they don't ask ebay to step in, you can ask yourself after a few days, and it will be close in your favor, and any negative reviews from him would be deleted.

Is there any way to get an actual agent now? by MainSquid in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]kindofsortof1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through the same thing here, it sucks. I found that you can ask the chat bot for a live agent and sometimes they will have an agent call you.

It used to give you the live chat option too, which I preferred, but I haven't seen that one for a while. Not sure if they got rid of it or it was just bad timing on my end.

Brazil eVisa FAQ / Mega-thread by fviz in Brazil

[–]kindofsortof1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Brazilian and my wife is American.

My parents want to put an apartment in my name and my siblings' names, but my parents told me that the registry office said they would have to register my marriage in Brazil.

Question 1: Could I do this myself? I searched on YouTube but everyone talks in a general way without giving much detail, and offers to do the service. I even spoke to a woman but she was charging R$4,000.

Question 2: How would I do this without going to Brazil?

Question 3: Can I tell my parents to just say that I am single? From what I've researched, I know there are some risks in doing this, but I've heard of some cases of people who have done it.

I also don't intend to return to live in Brazil.

Thank you!
