call ISP and ask for a new IP

Actually, it is very easy. On your router, you need to change MAC addresses. Do that and the ISP will give you a new IP address.

Changing internet services would do it.
With the amount of information that E-Bay requires and maintains these days though, they'll probably figure out who is reject his account again. |

Unless you requested a static IP address, your modem/router will be set up for DHCP (dynamically assigned IP addresses) on your outside interface (the side pointing at the Internet). You can try rebooting your modem/router and see if you get a new IP. You can use the site www.whatismyip.com to see what your public IP address is. Go to that site before and after restarting your modem/router to see if it changes.

Magic!
I think it depends on their service provider. If they have a static IP connection, not much can be done, except maybe use a proxy server. If instead, it is a dynamic assigned IP, the "lease"... (i.e. particular IP number) might change as soon as you log off, or might last a few days or a week. |

Although i don't recommend that as the proxy might be logging all traffic and would then have your ebay credentials. You can always change your password after you're done with your business though. |

If it's cable, exchange the modem for a new one. IP is typically tied to the modem's MAC address.

Depending what kind of service you have...
power down everything. plug your computer's ethernet directly in to the modem. power modem on. wait 2-3 minutes. power computer on. power everything back down. put it all back the way it was. power everything back on. check your ip. |

Depends on their connection. With a standard home service, the access point ("modem") is assigned an IP address through dynamic host control protocol, this means if you unplug the connection's power, then turn it back on, the host (the service provider's end) will dynamically assign a new address.
Internally, meaning your computer or router also has DHCP, only it uses a private network address, usually 192.168.1.nnn where nnn is between 100 and 150, typically. Your outside contacts do not see this, only your switch/router/modem. All outside contacts see your AP's IP. So how does stuff get through when you have a router? Through the Machine Address Code, a 12 digit hexadecimal code which is unique to each network adapter. Now some services can look for the MAC and because it is unique, ban that machine. Meaning all attempts to mask your IP could be for naught if you do not switch out your network adapter. Some routers/switches have MACs which can be changed.... |

It doesn't necessarily change addresses (the dhcp server may well just hand you the same one), and it doesn't matter at all, if his machine is NAT'd behind some router (it's his publicly routable address that needs to change). To the OP: His ISP's DHCP server will give him another address lease...eventually. |

Ebay knowing how easy it is to change IP addresses are you sure it's not "your friends" MAC address they are tracking?
A MAC address, or Media Access Control address, is a 48- or 64-bit address associated with a network adapter. While IP addresses are associated with software, MAC addresses are linked to the hardware of network adapters. For this reason, the MAC address is sometimes called the hardware address, the burned-in address (BIA), or the physical address. MAC addresses are expressed in hexadecimal notation in the following format: 01-23-45-67-89-AB, in the case of a 48-bit address, or 01-23-45-67-89-AB-CD-EF, in the case of a 64-bit address. Colons (:) are sometimes used instead of dashes (-). MAC addresses are often considered permanent, but in some circumstances, they can be changed. Has the wife tried to log in from a different computer, like at work or library? |

I'm doubtful about the "banned over 1 transaction"
- but anyway if you have a static IP you can just download tor and that will do it - I would erase all cookies, that's an obvious one - and of course changing ISP. I surprised you actually have a static IP address |

Unplug your modem and router overnight, then plug them in the next morning
(you may have to pull the battery as well in some cable modems) Many services will not release your IP unless it is unplugged for at least 2 +Hours |

Find out the DHCP lease time your ISP has (if they use DHCP), unplug the cable modem for that amount of time. Although it generally takes less time because your always x amount of time into the lease. Generally a couple of hours will do.

It's possible(probable) that they banned a range of ip addresses, that yours is in . So many people have "dynamic" ip addresses (restart your router, get a new ip), that if you are for example 192.168.1.2 they ban 192.168.* with the * meaning "all".

^ this. Easiest thing is just, one night, unplug your cable modem. When you get up in the morning, plug it back in. Sometime during the night it will probably have handed your IP address out to someone else and you'll get a new one. I find that if you just shut down and power back on you tend to get the same address you just had. Wait 8 hours and it's usually different. Although as others have mentioned, there are public proxies. Although I definitely would never do ebay transactions through public proxies. I also agree that he's probably lying about "1 bad transaction". Ebay doesn't ban your IP address over one bad purchase or sale. |

Quoted: If it's cable, exchange the modem for a new one. IP is typically tied to the modem's MAC address. That and the customer connected equipment. If I get a new router, or change the MAC address on the router I already own (MAC Address Spoofing), the cable company's DHCP server will give me a different IP address. It's also possible that if you leave your modem powered off for 48 hours or so that when you power it back on it will get a new address. |
