Hey there,
If you have a 30 day suspension on your primary account, and you are utilizing other secondary or connected accounts from your current IP address at home - Ebay is DEFINITELY going to catch you doing this, and then you're going to get a permanent suspension for "Abusing Ebay". Theres just about nothing worse you can do than try to use their system in any fashion while you have a current suspension..This is like commiting account suicide - And trust me it's not Russian Roulette, its more like stepping on a landmine...You ARE going to get caught, and then your account is going to be closed for good. What you need to do is something I just learned from an absolutely excellent ebook on the subject..You need to create MULTIPLE Ebay accounts, that can run from the same residence and that are all totally independent of one another...This way once something happens to one, you can continue selling WITHOUT getting caught using their system while you are suspended. Under Ebay's new "Computer Security" System, the odds are most people out there will suffer a suspension, usually it's permanent - and in your case it's definitely going to be if you dont take some pre-cautions quickly and get a little Ebay Education...Go to google, and type in "Ebay Undercover" and I think it's the first link that will come up - Check out that book, my friend turned me on to it when I got suspended and it was the best 30 bucks I ever spent - I dont worry anymore if one account gets suspended or has a problem because I legally made like 5 accounts now and run them simultaneously and they arent linked in any way. I learned it all from this book, great stuff and highly recommended!
I hope it can help you to! Good Luck!
