I've found for the most part account age/usage is not considered at all in major online service providers.
I've straight up been told by Google, Ebay and Amazon that they do not care about account age/legitimacy/seasoning/usage at all and it is not even considered in various cases I've had with these companies.
They simply don't care about customers at all. They are only looking at various legal repercussions balanced against what makes them the most money and that is their real metric.
Ebay: Had a <30day old account make a dispute against me that I did not deliver a product that was over $200 when my account was in good standing for many years with zero disputes. Ebay told me to f-off, ebay rep said my account standing was not a consideration for judgement in the case.
Google: Corporate account in good standing for 8+ years, mid five figure monthly spending. One day locked the account for 32 days with no explanation or contact. At day 30 or so a CS rep in India told me they don't consider spending or account age in their mystery account lockout process.
Eventually, some of these companies will realize that a well-managed customer service org is a profit center and they will get an enormous amount of business. Unfortunately, they'll all keep fucking over customers until they realize that accepting life in the crab bucket is a negative-sum game.
I'm considering going back to school to write a "Google Fi 2016-2023: A Case Study in Enshittification" thesis but I'm not sure what academic discipline it fits under.
(I'll say it again for those in the back, if you're looking for ideas, there's arbitrage in service.)
Unfortunately ebay has a lock on large parts of the market and only a small number of people have been called frauds by them. I personally can't buy from you because they have decided my account is compromised, but I'm just one person and so that is a tiny number of potential customers.

Amazon: Do I even need to...
