Since many people there are living in poverty, it would sound very attractive to them. Then whoever is running the scam would ultimately get paid, but these people we’re hearing from wouldn’t..
If someone is running an attractive scam over there, it would explain why we’re getting a large number of questions from Sri Lanka recently.
I guess someone is selling them courses to learn how to sell on Ebay and how to get around the Pay Pal restriction and how to buy older Ebay accounts.
The only one that's going to make any money, is the ones selling them those courses.
There's also videos on YouTube telling them how to do it

It really is getting clearer and clearer that these so called accounts obtained were either bought, hijacked, because a lot of these accounts are from 2011, 2014??? And US based??? And PayPal isn't even available to receive money there, so fake addresses to obtain? The whole situation just smells.
They are going to have to do something with them.
If it was any of the rest of us, we would be shut down even before we could create a sellers account.

Bless you, Ken, for being persistent enough to bring this up on so many threads, even though you're getting stonewalled. I haven't seen anyone answer your question.
Are you going to be around during the Weekly Chat? I thought I had read a question about it in prior Weekly Chats, but I can't find it. Would you be willing to bring it up?
I posted in the chat today and of course, no reply from Ebay.

I have not purchased an account from anyone. I registered on ebay in 2015. I maintained it to buy items. But in 2016 I had a motorcycle accident. After that I was stuck for about 3 years. I've been buying again recently. I'm sadnly for others comments. 😓

@century traders.......... the information we have is that people from Sri Lanka can buy on ebay with a paypal account........but that account can't accept payments............is that correct or incorrect?
