5-day listings

koalawash · 01-06-2008, 12:48 AM

Okay so we've pretty much established that 3-day auctions for noob accounts are a big no-no. Listing a 7-day auction (or a few) after a few hours of creating an account is safe more often than not, but what about listing a FIVE-DAY auction with a 0-fb account.. what kind of experiences have people had with this so far if you've done it?

**aspkin** · 01-06-2008, 04:32 AM

Five and seven are the same. Three day auctions are only for those high risk items. Other then that it isn't a huge deal.

I had an account suspended a while ago that I used 5 day, but I don't think thats why I was suspended. I had signed into a super old account that I thought was still in good shape but it was suspended and they linked me to that account almost instantly. I use 7 day for the first month or so.

koalawash · 01-06-2008, 12:50 PM

Okay, I think it's also because eBay sees what I sell as "high risk". 3-day auctions have been a total minefield for me on new accounts.

dollybaby · 03-12-2008, 03:49 PM

ive just opened a new account 0 feedback and listed a 5-day almost straight after opening the eb acc its now got 3 days left so fingers crossed.

Yup, 3 day auctions will usually get u suspended for Abuse if you're selling vero items. 5 and 7 day are basically the same thing and make no difference.

But if you arent selling vero, go for the 3 day listing

dollybaby · 03-15-2008, 01:55 PM

my 5 days listings are vero and my 1st item only has 2 hrs left, ive done the same on another new account but theyve only been going for a day up to now.

jscan · 04-06-2008, 04:32 AM

i always use 7, because when your listing brand name items it takes 24 hours for it to actually show, in which your getting only 6 days.

imjustme · 04-29-2008, 11:17 AM

I list 3 day auctions for VERO and non-VERO items all the time and never get suspended for it.

twdell · 04-29-2008, 05:55 PM

i just did about 150 3 day auction this week, but i also have over 400 positives on that account. i think you're okay as long as you don't do them right off the bat on a new account.

dollybaby · 05-17-2008, 05:48 PM

imjustme how do you list vero items on a 3 day auction it only lets you list vero on 5 day auctions

GreenBean · 05-17-2008, 06:18 PM

Possibly because IJM may list that on ebay japan?

2eXclusiive · 05-18-2008, 08:28 AM

if i were you i wouldnt take any chances, id go and list with the 7 day auction, better safe then sorry right?

Huh? Does your eBay return you a message saying this item is a VERO, please go back and select 5 days instead of 3 days? Mine doesn't.

2eXclusiive · 05-18-2008, 11:39 AM

really?
wow
ours does

i guess ebay is not as strict in that country.

imjustme · 05-18-2008, 12:11 PM

Erm, I use US accounts and list on eBay.com all the time ...

2eXclusiive · 05-18-2008, 12:15 PM

thats wierd, because when i tried to list a vero item you can not do it for less then a 5 day auction.

oh btw i love your quote by obama
