I am an ebay powerseller. I sell many namebrand clothing. Ebay has many times given me account violatoins for "unauthorized item" or "copyright infringement". My items are authentic and authorized but they will not listen to me. After the first violation, they have seemed to "flag" my account and give me violations for every possible thing they can think of. I am about to be suspended I think. I am working on opening up a new account but know they use software to find out people who do this. So far, I have opened up a new bank account in a different state (its just over the river) to register with ebay, and I went to the library to open up the new ebay account and paypal account. I have my name on the new ebay and paypal account, but a different state address. I also opened a new email account with yahoo to use too from the library. My question is , can I now come home and log into my new accounts with ebay and paypal from my computer without them tracing it? Any help?

It’s a classic and almost tragic story:
a veteran eBay member goes through a rough patch, perhaps because of personal tragedy or illness, perhaps because of a weather disaster or shipping strike. A few negative feedback ratings are given by other users in rapid succession and eBay suspends the account in question due to the sudden rush of dissatisfied trading partners.
Almost automatically and without thinking about it too much, the member in question re-joins eBay using a new account name and begins to trade again.
Everything seems to be humming along well once more and then... What!? One day eBay suspends the new account unceremoniously without explanation, perhaps even along with accounts held by others in the member’s family or household!
The member, now very frustrated indeed, registers under a new name once again, and is this time suspended within a couple of days or even a couple of hours. Every attempt by anyone in the member’s social circle to create a new account from then on is met with almost immediate suspension, and repeated attempts to contact eBay do not change the situation. The member now is effectively banned from eBay for life, as are all of the member’s family and/or household members.
Don’t let this happen to you.
We now a safe way how to get back on eBay:

It may not be eBay that's after you -- but a VERO member, probably one of the "name brand clothing" that you are selling.
VERO members such as Burberry, 7 for All Mankind jeans, Kate Spade, Donna Karan and many more http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/vero-aboutme.html can simply send to eBay a list of auctions that they think violate their copyrights and trademarks, and eBay removes those listings FAST.
You seem to be really determined to open a new account -- and if you're a powerseller that is perfectly understandable. You may be able to get a new account, but chances are great that these VERO members that did not like you selling their items will probably close your listings again. And again.
So it will be a never ending cycle of VERO members closing down your account, you opening a new account, and then they close your account again, etc. Try to find new products to sell - one that will not get your account closed

You don't have to be "authorized" to sell squat. If you're going to sell this stuff, you need to spend your time learning your rights and how to fight back instead of trying to get around eBay, who has every right to kick you off if you're apparently selling counterfeit knock-offs. Unless you stand up for yourself, you're doomed before you start.
Learn about the "First Sale Doctrine", the Lanham Act, filing a DMCA counter-notice, and start posting a redacted copy of your receipt in your listings.

all it takes is one person to report you for anything and ebay's kneejerk reaction is to suspend you
