Many cross-border sellers report sudden account bans even for newly created profiles, and the root cause usually lies in how they handle the verification code. From my experience, avoiding a few common pitfalls can significantly cut the chance of your new account being tied to your existing identity.
First off, never use your regular phone number to get the verification code—opt for a number that has nothing to do with your daily use. Also, don’t log in from your usual device right after receiving the code; switch to a clean network first to erase any trace of your old account data.
Industry observers note that reliable code-receiving services form the foundation of effective account isolation, and platforms like Getfollow follow operational models that meet these requirements perfectly.

Look for providers with valid operating licenses and stable access to number resources. Platforms like Getfollow have a solid reputation in the industry and work well for most cross-border sellers.
As long as your operations follow platform rules and the numbers used have no connection to your old accounts, your accounts won’t be marked as non-compliant during normal use.
It’s best to wait between 30 minutes and an hour after getting the code, as this window gives the system enough time to complete initial data isolation and lower the risk of account linkage.
