    After changing to US, it requires state reselection. After state reselection like California, it requires suburb and postcode change to be verified by the system before you can proceed. Did something change?

    This was the last deal for this. eBay seem to have caught on to what was happening. It looks like in order to access the code, some people had to register a new US account (unless you already have an account with a US registration address). I’ve just been able to update mine to a US address though.

        • doweyy on 28/08/2018 - 07:51

          PayPal have started to flag some purchases as fraud, such as the gift card purchases, and have shut the PayPal accounts associated with the purchase down.

          The reason being, is that the payment fails multiple times and then the PayPal system flags it as suspicious, which then they might ban the account for.

          Here's an example

          It's definitely a valid warning.

        • Kill Joy on 28/08/2018 - 08:26
          +2

          @doweyy:

          That person made purchases over a UK VPN - very different to just changing the address on your ebay account. I don't think people should be worried unless they are geolocating their internet/browser as a different location to their regular region in Australia.

        • doweyy on 28/08/2018 - 08:45

          @Kill Joy:

          You pretty much needed to use a VPN to easily change your location, that didn't have anything to do with it.

          It's more the fact that you have to brute Force the PayPal payment and if it fails too many times then it flags the transaction.

          PayPal is separate to eBay, the payment wouldn't have been affected by the VPN, just their back end not liking the transaction type.

          I'm not saying all transactions with be flagged, I just said it's a valid warning for others to be careful.

          @doweyy: yes they went after me like a criminal and suspended all my 10 accounts and told me that "PayPal and you are going separate ways". That's after I have given them thousands and thousands of dollars in fees.

        • Kill Joy on 28/08/2018 - 10:38
          +2

          @doweyy: You don't need a VPN to change your location in eBay - I did it successfully last promotion.

          And regarding brute force - I dont understand. He made a single transaction of 3 gift cards while using a VPN. I know that when I tried to make a paypal order with a Chinese VPN on paypal it rejected my transactions outright (didn't flag my account though, maybe it wasn't a suspicious order). Turned off VPN and worked instantly.

          I'm just trying to reduce misinformation.

          So you grossly violated their terms of service and now you cannot understand why they closed your accounts.

        • Kill Joy on 28/08/2018 - 12:41

          @Diji1:

          You're only allowed to have one business and one personal account, so just having those 10 accounts is probably the issue. The flag for fraud made them notice your paypal, then they must have realized you had 10 paypal accounts and that was the nail in the coffin.

          They wouldn't the case seems to be the person who got their account locked mad eit appear to paypal their PC was in the UK, purchasing gift cards by using a VPN. No one should be worried unless they are using an international VPN for sketchy purchases (in which case im glad Paypal locks the account, this is a great safety feature).

    I opened about 4 accounts for the last deal and they all got shutdown about 3 days later by eBay. What are people doing to get around this?

    • Shibuya on 28/08/2018 - 08:47

      Same thing happened to me, I created two new US accounts and bought an item under each account. Weird thing was at the time I also decided to link my amex card into paypal account and use that card for payment,for some reason payment didn't work and i tried multiple times, ebay kept returning some generic payment error message. Once I reverted back to my normal visa cc as payment it worked. But 2 days later I got emails from ebay saying that my accounts have been suspended.

    • Jamesx on 28/08/2018 - 09:33

      use different names, different paypal accounts with diff names, use all your family members if you can.
      In short, they dont allow multiple accounts for same person. Same as cashrewards etc.

        Why does Cashrewards have an issue with it? You can't claim cashrewards with multiple accounts for the same transaction.

        • Jamesx on 29/08/2018 - 07:27

          They don't like you to have two cashreward account, same as their competitors.

    • ilikeit on 28/08/2018 - 16:55

      I have one account for Oz ebay and another for US ebay. I don't do switcheroos, the US one is permanently there. I login in to it regularly and save things on my watch list. I make a few small transactions here and there. Basically, it looks like a standard account with some feedback. Try to go under the radar.

  • Eggy on 28/08/2018 - 09:40

    It works for accounts that were created before eBay AU existed, as their account region is tied to eBay US database, even though the region is set to Australia now.

    When I pay for my eBay fees, I MUST use my 28 degrees card to pay or else I get international transaction fees even though I'm paying for my fees in AUD for my AU account.

    I have to call eBay to get my account relocated to the AU database, which would fix the above issue, but it would also mean I can no longer relocate my account to US to take advantage of the US promotions.

    I was able to relocate to US for the last 15% coupon, make my purchase from an AU seller to ship to me locally, then relocate back to AU after check out.

    • Taegukgi on 28/08/2018 - 09:45

    Changing the registration details has been tightened up. Previously just changing the country was enough. Now you need a real address.
