Buying a ebay account with no limit

g300power · #1 04-12-2014

Ok got a question i want to buy an ebay account from a friend of mine she has the account since 2009 and she say it doesnt have any limit she want 3k for it but she want to change all her info and used my personal info but im afraid that if i do all that ebay will put a limit on the accou t what do you guys think?

Every account has a limit.

Bunneh · #3 04-12-2014

The only reason it wont have any limits is because your friend has not used it to sell on.
Once you list your first item, you will have limits put in place.
Possibly 10/$1000 as every starting account has.
The moment you start changing everything at once your account will get flagged..

What do you intend to do regarding the paypal account?
If you attach another paypal account to her ebay account, it will still be linked even if she removes it.
If either paypal ever get suspended, the other persons paypal account will to.
Same goes to the new ebay account she sets up with her current paypal account, they will all link together.

If your name and other info was on a previously suspended account it will get shut down again.

You really need to think if it is worth such a large sum in the long term..

I think your choice to purchase would be most unwise.

Make your own.

Too many flags will be raised with ebay/paypal as info gets changed.

Make her subscribe to seller manager and you will see it HAS limits!

I myself would not risk $3k on an account.
Moment you change info or region you could get your MC flag anyway and down goes the account.

If she is actively selling on the account, you must be aware that any types of changes have a big risk of flagging the account.

Changes are not limited to, but include the following:

different items

different monetary amounts coming into funding source

change of banking info

change of location

change of frequency with how the account is used

I'm seeing 2999 reasons to reconsider

Please be careful

I would not work with that account unless 1) you have MASTERED stealth 2) you know ALL the ins and outs of that account 3) you know the status of her Paypal...so many other questions...and for 3k...well, the ultimate choice is yours

Tell her to change all the info and allow you to sell for a week, if everything is going smooth and no limits than you will pay, which is fair

but after changing all the info and than switching sellers you may not even get a chance to sell or possibly you will get one listing

GreenBean · #10 04-12-2014

Problem there, Dmshark25, is the limitation may come within the 1st month of a transfer.

rsot · #11 04-13-2014

Sadly, limitation could happen right on transfer of the account / OP using the account on his computer even...it is possible

More Like the First Day After she Starts Changing InFormation. That's why I told him to let him get it after all info changed and a week of selling if everything goes well then you pay

I definitely do not think the account will even survive the info change, and definitely without getting low limits placed, and than when the selling pattern changes I'd be surprised if there wasn't paypal limitation and/ or eBay restriction asking for ID and all kinds of Docs

But at least OP will save his 3K 😃😃😃

@ g300power...Tell her you want to leave everything on her name. Just change the PP bank info just like in stealth account we do. You sell on her behalf for month and see how everything works out. If all is good just keep everything same and pay her from the sales you will generate within that month...Hope thats a fair deal.....

That wont work.. Paypal will still have her info even if you change it.

Seriously $3k for an account that could be limited at any given moment? No disrespect but that's nuts. If me I would just buy an account here from Sandy D and nurture it. You can't go wrong. Good luck!

Sandy D · #16 04-14-2014

How much feedback?

What does her DSRs look like?

Not worth 3000 unless is has a ton of feedback and solid as a rock.

Like everyone else, changing the info could easily can the account.

If she has not sold on it at all or has not sold for a long while here limits will show up as 10-1000 or so once you list an item if it has not been used in a while.

Accounts have to remain active or they will go right back to the low limits.

If this has not been used much at all and does not have a ton of feedback it would not be worth it at all.

Just because it is from 2009 does not make it valuable. Unless of course the feedback is way up into the 100s if not 1000s.

Just be aware that doing that is just like playing Russian roulette with eb.

keepongoing · #18 04-14-2014

totally not worth it. no account is safe. buy an account on here or build your own stealth, your friend sounds super greedy. 3k for an account, doesnt even sound like a friend

kockedoff · #19 04-17-2014

Keep the friend and your $3K, if you go a head with this you will lose both ...trust me..

stevenbj · #20 04-18-2014

Hi, I would like to believe this is a massive risk. 3k for an ebay account that can get locked for no reason at anytime? No dont do it. Invest some money on eBay Stealth and build and grow your own stealth accounts for next to nothing. Be warned.

i once used my friend's account, he did not sell on ebay, just used it to buy,
i was surprised i could list as many as i wanted, but fews days later, i found some limits on this account, which made me believe every account has limits to sell.

And the account went down or still good?
