Will ebay flag a main account logged in from another country?

Question

Hello,

I'm based in the Philippines and I work for a US client as an eBay VA. Right now, he only gives me Team Access because he's concerned that logging into the main account from another country might trigger security issues or flags on the account.

The problem is that Team Access is somewhat limited, and there are tasks I still can't fully do because of the permission restrictions.

My question is: If he allows me to log directly into the main account, is there a real risk of the account getting flagged or restricted by eBay? If yes, what are the safest ways other sellers/VAs handle this setup while minimizing security risks?

Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

@khrisma777 Team access members need to be in the same country as the seller unless eBay changed something recently. If you log in directly to the sellers account 99% chance of the account being suspended due to suspicious activity.

Do not use VPNs to try and trick eBay with your location, while they might work for a little bit the eBay security system will catch on.
