Registering is simple and painless. You'll need a few items before you get started so let's go over them so you know what to expect.

You'll need:

1. A userid or nickname that you like. This is the name you'll be known as at Ebanned, this is also called your "alias" or "userid". You'll want to choose carefully as it can't be changed once you are registered. If you are at all concerned that your favorite nickname will be associated with you in the real world, you should carefully choose something that is unique and anonymous.

2. A major credit card. Visa, MasterCard or American Express. We do not accept any other types of cards. Your card is not charged during registration unless you are setting up a seller account however, we do verify your card information and compare it to a list of know problem cards and users.

Please note that Ebanned requires you to provide your address. This address MUST match where you get your credit card statements. If you do not get your statements at a PO Box, do not use that as your address. Your application will be denied if we are unable to match the address you provided with the address your credit card company has on file for you.

3. An ISP based email account. We do not accept anonymous accounts at registration such as Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. This is done for obvious security reasons so if you cannot provide us with a real email address, we can't provide you with an account here. This includes paid upgraded email. If your email host offers any type of free trial, it will be considered anonymous and will be declined for registration.

4. A little time. Since your registration application is approved or denied by a real person, this takes time. It could take as long as 48 hours but average is 12 to 24 hours.

After you set up your registration...

Once you've set up your registration, you'll be asked to check your email for a unique confirmation number. You'll need to click on the link provided in the email to enter all your confirmation information. This sends the application to our registration team for approval. Our registration team will not even look at your registration until it has been confirmed and the waiting time starts after you've done the confirmation.
