Introduction
So if you use eBay or PayPal, then this guide is for you.
If you're receiving money on PayPal, and somehow,
your PayPal account ends up limited, then you will find this useful.
If you're getting auctions delisted and your eBay accounts are getting constantly banned, then make sure to read this.
And if you have no idea what eBay or PayPal is, you're lucky. Perhaps read this anyway, it might be entertaining.
or many people and myself personally, it's a love-hate relationship with eBay
and PayPal. Damned if you do, damned if you don't - at the end of the
day, you're going to need them one way or another. I've spent quite some
time researching some alternatives and there really isn't much as far
as substitutes go, so the best way to really deal with the issue is to
educate yourself on how to use these services responsibly so that you
don't run into problems as often (I say as often because it would be
unrealistic to eliminate problems completely).
This guide is going to be split into 3 pieces. It is as follows:
1. How to go stealth on eBay and PayPal
2. Safety Guide for PayPal - How to use PayPal without getting limited
3. Safety Guide for eBay - How to use eBay without getting suspended
My goal in this guide was to teach you some common
suspension issues so that it’ll save you a lot of stress and frustration
in the long run.
Basic Stealth Information for eBay and PayPal
With every account, you need to do the following things:
1. Different IP
2. Different user account on your computer (you can create new ones from the control panel)
3. Don't mix and match different accounts, it will link them together and all will get banned.
How to change your IP if you're in the United States or Canada:
To do this, log into your router (if you have a
router) at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 (depending on your
router), and manually change your MAC address (a couple digits is fine),
and save the settings. Afterwards, turn off your router and your cable
modem for 10 minutes and turn them back on. Use whatismyip.com to check
that your IP address has changed.
• Go to whatismyip.com to check your current IP address
• Log into your router
• Change the last 3-4 digits on your MAC
address (should be an option inside the router)
• Save changes, and cut the power to your router and your cable modem
• Start them up again 10 minutes later
• You should have a new IP address now
• Check at whatismyip.com to confirm that IP address has changed
Safety Guide for PayPal
How to use PayPal without getting limited
If you want to learn how to prevent getting
suspended on PayPal, you're going tohave to first understand a little
bit about how it works. First off, PayPal limits accounts with
suspicious or "high-risk" activity in order to prevent losses. The way
it does this is by robots that are trained to identify certain behavior -
certain triggers cause them to freeze up accounts.
Now, here's the thing - they use robots to monitor
your accounts. Since there are millions of PayPal accounts and thousands
of transactions happening at every second, it is very unrealistic for
them to have a big room of people monitoring every little activity. So
these is essentially what happens in a nutshell when a limitation
occurs.
Suspicious activity
being done --> Robot picks up on the suspicious activity and triggers
limitation --> PayPal asks for additional information --> PayPal
human employee reviews information to reinstate your account or
permanently limit it.
But here's the good thing about robots - they're
actually very predictable. If you can learn what these triggers
limitations, you can avoid them like land mines. So without further
delay, let's start learning some of the types of behaviors thatcause
limitations.
Site Owners: Before you attach a new stealth PayPal to your website, READ THIS FIRST.
If you’ve had a PayPal attached to your website
before and it gets limited, PayPal then blacklists your domain name from
ever using PayPal again. So if you try toattach a new stealth account
directly to your site, you’ll get banned again. Luckily, there is a
solution.
Solution: If you use a third-party checkout tool that uses PayPal you’ll
be able to accept PayPal without fear of being limited. Another thing
that you can use is host the checkout on a different domain name so that
the PayPal doesn’t see it. I’ve seen some people manually invoice their
customers using PayPal too.
0. Always know your stealth basics
Learn how to access stealth accounts without getting
limited. That means no proxies, no IP's that change every 2 seconds (so
no TOR or HMA).
Step 1 - Know your basics!
Here are some of the most common mistakes committed:
a. Use proxies, HMA, TOR, or any of those "IP hiding softwares". eBay and PayPal have blacklisted these IPs'. If you use them, you will get banned, simple as that.
b. Not changing your user account between different PayPal or eBay accounts.
The exception is if you
use a VPS (remote computer) as the files are separated automatically
then.
Solutions:
a. Change your IP legitimately through your cable or DSL company. Or
even easier, just buy a windows-based VPS with an IP in the same country
as your PayPal or eBay.
b. Go to your control panel, create a separate user for your new PayPal or eBay account. Use your PayPal and eBay
exclusively just on that user account. Even easier, just buy a
windows-based VPS with an IP in the same country as your PayPal or eBay.
1. Moving money too fast
Cause: One of the most common ways to get an account
suspended is by moving money too fast. Let me give you an example.
Let's just say that you received $200 right. Then 5 minutes later you
try sending that $50 to someone else or try to buy something with it.
Boom, your account gets limited. In PayPal's eyes, the reason why they
limited you is that when you move money too fast, it looks suspicious,
so they limit your account and stop you dead in the tracks.
So it applies to:
Receive money --> send money
Receive money --> withdraw money
Solution: When you receive money in your PayPal
account, let it sit in there for 2-3 days before you try spending it,
withdrawing it, or doing anything with your money.
2. Taking in too much money
Cause: The second most
common way to get an account suspended is by taking in too much money at
one time. Look at it from PayPal's stand-point. If a guy that doesn't
have an established history of receiving large amounts of money suddenly
starts getting hundreds of dollars at one time, it looks pretty
suspicious. Don't be the guy that receives too much money at one time,
or you'll get PayPal limiting you and asking you for personal details.
Solution: So how much money is too much? On a newer account, start off
by taking payments less than or around $100 and don't let the total
balance on the account get above $500. If the money gets near $500, wait
a couple days and withdraw it or send it to another account. Of course,
when your stealth account gets older, you can start getting larger
amounts of money, but if you really want to be safe, that's the general
guideline you should follow. Now if you need to receive more money than
that, just use multiple stealth accounts to break the payments up.
Another potential outcome if you take in money too fast is that they
will ask you for social security information in order to make sure
you're properly taxed. Now PayPal quotes that this number is something
like 200 transactions of $20,000 a year, whichever comes first. However,
if you come out of the gate taking in a lot of money, they'll ask you
for social security much sooner. So the best way to combat this is to
just receive money through different accounts so the funds are more
dispersed.
3. Spending/Withdrawing Exact Amounts of Money/Not leaving any money left in PayPal
Cause: Let's just say
that you have $600 in your PayPal balance. If you try to go ahead and
withdraw $600, you'll get limited. Always try to leave some money in
PayPal, at least 10% (don't make it exact). When you withdraw like all
your balance, it makes PayPal think that you're robbing the bank and
skipping town. That means it's suspicious, so don't do this.
Solution: Always try to leave some money in PayPal (at least 10%). So
for example, if you're withdrawing $600, leave like 60-70 dollars in
there, don't withdraw everything. You'd be surprised how many people get
limited by this sort of problem.
4. Error: When you try to send money, and get this
message: "Add funds in your PayPal before sending money" when you do
have money in the available balance
Cause: When you try to
move money too fast on a relatively new PayPal account. PayPal has this
this filter that prevents you from sending out money. If you have a
relatively new account and get this message, your account is under a
soft review. However, don't freak out, because chances are, if you don't
do anything else that's suspicious during this time, they'll usually
release the balance in a couple of days.
Solution: When you get this message, don't try to send money out over
and over again. Just leave the balance for a week and come back to try
to send it again. It could last up to 21 days, so try again here and
there. Most of the time, it's resolved after a couple of days.
5. Ask for "identity verification" through phone call.
If this happens, just
press cancel, and they will let you confirm other information,
specifically your full bank account numbers. After you enter this, your
account will go back to normal status.
Part 3: Safety Guide for eBay - How to not get Limited
Using eBay
without getting suspended is very similar to using PayPal without
getting limited. This shouldn't be very surprising because PayPal is
owned by eBay. The only thing that differs really is the function. eBay
is used to buy and sell items, PayPal is used to send and receive
money. So let's get started with the most common suspensions on eBay.
1. MC999 Suspension - When you're a relatively new user and you get this notice when you're trying to list your first item.
So you just got an
account, and you list your first item. After 12-24 hours later, your
item gets taken down and they give you this notice when you log into
your account. However, don't panic, because this is relatively common -
about 25% of new accounts get this the first time that they list.
Solution: Within 48 hours of getting this notice, call eBay
up directly at their phone number. I believe it's 1-866-877-3229. Talk
to the customer service representative and ask them why your account got
limited. Then answer some questions and confirm account details with
them. The questions that they're going to ask will go something like
this:
First, they will transfer you to an account specialist.
This account specialist is going to ask you the following questions:
Is this your own item (respond yes, and nod your head)
Is somebody helping you with listing (respond no, and shake your head)
Are you drop shipping the item or have it in your possession (tell them
that it's in your possession. do NOT let them know you're drop shipping,
even if you actually are).
And that should be it. Then they'll take 2-3 minutes to review your account, and give you 3 possible responses:
Possible response #1: If you listed an item that is relatively
low risk (non-branded or a brand that's not commonly counterfeited),
then they'll tell you that they've unlimited your account and you're
ready to list again.
Possible response #2: If you listed an item that is pretty high
risk (a brand that is commonly counterfeited and protected by their VERO
- verified rights owner program), then they will tell you that you're
selling items that are too risky, and that they cannot do business with
you anymore. At this point, they will permanently suspend your account.
Possible response #3: If you list an item that is high risk, they
will ask for you to verify your identity with the account by faxing in
your ID and some personal information. Of course, if you have a stealth
account, chances are you won't be able to provide this documentation.
This brings me to the second most common suspension reason.
2. You're selling items that are too high risk!
One of the most common mistakes when it comes to selling on eBay is that people think they can sell just about anything. This couldn't be further from the truth. On eBay,
items are either high risk or low risk. It all depends on the brand
name of the item. Brands like Dre Beats are high risk whereas other
brands like Abercrombie and Fitch are low risk. If you list a high risk
item, your item will get delisted from eBay
and you'll get suspended (if you're new, you'll get suspended
permanently. If you're a veteran, they'll put one strike on your account
- you can get three strikes before getting perm-banned).
Solution: Know which items are high risk and which ones are low risk.
The only definitive way is to just go ahead and list some items and mark
down which ones get removed and which ones don't.
The key to eBay
is simple. Start slowly without selling items that are high risk until
you have a good amount of feedback and established selling history.
Disburse sales through multiple accounts to diversify your risk and
decrease the volume per account.

什麼是VPS? 使用VPS有什麼好處嘛?
什麼是VPS?
前面廢言一整段,不過我想很多網友還沒有看懂我在講什麼吧,比如什麼是VPS可能很多人都不知道,那小弟就先介紹一下VPS吧:VPS他是一種類似 於虛擬主機的服務,型態上和最近流行的雲端主機比較接近,一般我們在使用的虛擬主機是由主機商把一台電腦分成數十甚至數百個帳戶,然後讓我們這些客戶去分 享上面的硬體資源,所以可能有人注意到虛擬主機的規格表通常只會寫說你個人專屬的容量跟流量有多少,而不會寫說你個人專屬的記憶體、CPU有多少,這是因為虛擬主機的硬體資源是由所有用戶共享的,如果跟你使用同一台主機的網站很吃資源,那你的網站所能使用的硬體資源就會相對減少,另外虛擬主機他就是給你專門建網站用的,所以你的權限就只能存取SQL、FTP、Apache、Mail這些他們主機上安裝好的服務,部分的虛擬主機會讓你有排程的權限,但是要讓你能夠自行安裝程式、管理整個系統這是虛擬主機絕不可能提供的然而VPS就不同了,有些人可能有玩過虛擬機,例如VMware、VirtualBox這些東西,其實VPS就是一種虛擬機的應用,VPS主機商會將一台主機分成幾個虛擬機,你的硬體資源都是專屬的,不會因為別人用太多導致你的硬體資源相對減少,同時你的權限也很高,一定都是root的權限,可以自己安裝一切程式,如果你功力夠你也可以自己寫程式放上去,過去在虛擬主機上可能主機商會封鎖某些PHP函數,或是做一些設定,在VPS上不會有這種問題,因為一切的設定都是由你自己決定! 另外目前的VPS有分成OpenVZ跟Xen兩種,兩種的差異在於使用的虛擬化技術,想知道他們的詳細資訊可以看下面的兩個網頁,技術上要解釋很麻煩,我就他們實際層面來解釋好了.
P.S.有些虛擬主機商會寫說他們機房網路速度如何如何、主機的硬體是很好的,這些話其實都沒有講的很清楚,因為他的主機在好、網路在快,但是被幾百個用戶分過之後每個使用者能用的就很少了
VPS還有分成兩種技術?
使用OpenVZ這種虛擬化技術的VPS通常會賣的比Xen虛擬技術的VPS便宜,這並非沒有原因,而是因為OpenVZ可以超賣,也就是說即使你的電腦只能開10個虛擬機,但他可以讓你超過一些些,開到12或是13個,換句話說:OpenVZ的虛擬化並不完全,別人的VPS在一定程度上是會影響到你的,而Xen不一樣,他虛擬化的很完全,你電腦硬體效能最多開到10台就只能開10台虛擬機,主機商不能暗中偷放,所以價格理所當然比較貴,但是就我個人看起來,OpenVZ雖然會有一定程度影響到別人,但是影響很小,所以如果沒有特殊喜好或要求就建議買OpenVZ型的VPS就可以了半管理與無管理的差別
如果你有在注意VPS的價目表、規格表,那你應該會發現他們有一個虛擬主機所沒有的選項叫做半管理模式,部分VPS是採用半管理模式,部分是採用無 管理模式,簡單來講無管理模式的VPS很便宜,我現在用的VPS每年要3800,無管理模式只要1700左右… 原因是因為無管理模式是把VPS賣給你之後就不再管你,你主機出了問題就算寄信給他他也不會理你,除非是硬體問題,而半管理則是有些部分會幫你,例如要換 IP、要換機房什麼的或是要重灌這些半管理模式下,你寄信給主機商他們是會幫你處理的,另外還有一種全管理模式,那價格就很恐怖了,是給完全不懂 Linux的人用的,因為他們ˊ沒辦法自己管理伺服器,我個人稍微懂Linux可是不敢說全懂,所以我買的是半管理的xDVPS能夠幹嘛?
VPS最常見的功能就是拿來架網站,但是之前說過VPS是一台獨立的虛擬機,你可以擁有他的全部權限,安裝任何你想裝的程式,這就代表說你可以拿 VPS來當做轉信站、Proxy、或是像大陸那邊有防火長城的你就可以拿美國VPS架設VPN,又或者有些VPS可以讓你下載BT的,另外有些人在經營私 服,也可以把私服放到VPS上面總結:使用VPS的優點
上面介紹了VPS,但是寫的很長,如果你比較懶的話那就直接看這段總結吧~拿VPS跟一般虛擬主機比較時:
一.VPS的網路速度普遍高於虛擬主機
這是顯而易見的,打個比方,同樣網路速度之下:你家只有一台電腦要上網跟你家有10台電腦都要上網,什麼情況你能獲得的網路頻寬最多? 很明顯是一台電腦時,VPS的道理也是一樣的,不過我知道有些人沒看到數據是不會滿意的… 拿我自己的案例來講,我原本用的是捕夢網的虛擬主機,一年要4000元,而捕夢網的機房是在台灣,所以理論上他的網路速度應該很快才對,當初我也是這樣 想,等到我買了美國的VPS之後.. 一年只要3800左右,可是網路速度整個就是捕夢網的好幾倍快,不是自己的感覺,而是Google的統計資料顯示的!
二.你可以自己掌管主機上的一切事物
使用虛擬主機最想幹屌的一件事情就是:虛擬主機商可能因為安全因素所以封鎖掉PHP裡的某些功能,又或者是你手邊有PHP的主機,可是你想練習 JSP,那就必須要在去買一個JSP的主機,在VPS上不會有這問題,你就算原本裝的是PHP,然後現在想玩JSP,那就在你的VPS裡面在裝上JSP的 程式就好了,你的PHP被限制只能上傳20M的檔案?沒關係,自己調到50M就好了
三.可以練習Linux系統的使用
在虛擬主機上面你可以選擇你要安裝的作業系統,部分主機商是內建很多種作業系統讓你選擇,也有部分是可以讓你自己上傳iso檔來做安裝,而一般 VPS都是拿來架網站的吧… 所以都是安裝Linux,然後前面還有講過你可以獲得最高權限,也是是說:如果你對伺服器管理很有興趣,那就買一台VPS來練習Linux吧~ 當然自己架虛擬機也可以啦XDD,不過如果你要架網站的話那買VPS還可以順便練Linux
四.系統當機的機會比虛擬主機少上幾千倍
當初會跳槽到VPS就是因為這個狗原因,因為捕夢網他媽的當機率太高了,讓我不禁懷疑他們的上線率可能連98%都沒有? 我想當機率這麼高的因素可能是因為他們在一台主機中塞了太多用戶吧,畢竟台灣成本高,地價高,所以主機商這麼做也可以說是不得以的… 可是他不得以和我無關,雖然每次當機都會在10~20分鐘內解決,服務人員態度算可以,只要有寄信他都會馬上把伺服器修好,至於沒寄信就…. 就要等他網管自己發現= = 可是就算只有5分鐘斷線我也受不了,尤其每次斷線都剛好是我發文的時候,害我文章重打….
五.價格上比虛擬主機便宜…
在這裡我拿美國的VPS的價格跟台灣虛擬主機比,台灣4000元的規格,美國那邊只要3800左右就能達到甚至拿到更好的規格… ,而且可以分成一個月繳一次、或是半年繳、或是一年繳都可以,像我現在是租用美國的VPS,一年要3800左右,可是我跟朋友合租所以一年只要1900元 ->這幾乎是美國一般虛擬主機的價格,而且我們合租的情況下系統效能還沒有衝破安全點(我自定的安全點是記憶體用量250MB之內,目前都在 200MB徘徊),目前預估我這台VPS還可以放2~3個跟我同樣流量的網站(我目前每天有400人左右的IP訪問)
使用VPS的缺點
前面講了那麼多好像VPS真什麼地方都贏虛擬主機?那為何大部分架網站的人都寧願買虛擬主機而不是VPS ? 原因在於:虛擬主機的服務好,你網站出問題寄信給他就會處理到好,你需要用什麼程式如果主機上有裝就可以直接使用,不像VPS… 必須要有一定的Linux能力,因為買了VPS之後你必須要自己安裝一切你需要的服務,例如網頁伺服器、FTP伺服器這些都是自己要安裝的,還有DNS要 自己設定,光這些就讓很多不懂電腦的人卻步,寧願多花錢買虛擬主機,但是現在來講VPS的門檻降低很多了,以半管理模式來講,我當初是使用Lnmp一次把 網頁伺服器、FTP、資料庫這些都安裝到好,沒有過去那麼麻煩,但也花了我不少時間,另外現在半管理模式的VPS,遇到問題寄信給主機商他都會幫你處理到 很好,所以已經不是高手才能碰的東西了,如果你怕你買了VPS卻不會用也無所謂,VPS跟虛擬主機一樣都是可以在限定時間內退款的American shelling rebel spy Deprivation of liberty seeking asylum
