listing strategy

[nakamuru]

ok pardon me with so many posts but after starting out ill be able to kind of specifiy more in depth and less newbie questions. As i've been posting, i'm taking caution in setting up my new account and want to get early heads up on listing strategy.. Little background on my ebay history. I've been doing ebay for about 11 years before i got the boot (yeah so much for loyalty on there part).. and it was due to non copyright items but more due to shipping dsrs (i did handmade tshirts).. So my question is.

1. its been 2 years since i haven't sold on ebay (but i do buy .. just purchased something 2 days ago). If i did completely new layout of my listing and new images ... will i be able to sell my handmade tshirts that are same design? They are very unique that no one did them. But since its been 2 years. If its a red flag... i guess i have to start selling something else... but that was my bread and butter so not sure what else is too sell.. seems lot of you guys have it easy to sell then getting on ebay

2. Are tshirts low risk so i can start listing immediately?

Welcome back

On a serious note, new and different pictures along with a fresh listing description will work well and keep you under the radar.

Hope this helped

If the T shirts are not infringing on someone's copyrights, I do not think it would be high-risk. However, you might want someone else to chime in on the risk of home-made T shirts. I do not believe that it is.

Now as far as selling the same T shirts that you were before. You need to be sure to take fresh pics. Do not re-use anything as you had on the old auctions. Make sure location services are off on your phone if using the phone for pics. A lot of members recommend cleaning your pics. Just watch out for other silly links that you might over look.

Shipping and Handling is not something you should get suspended for unless you just got really sick and had to neglect all buyers.

Proper approach - spread sales over several accounts

Dont think it is that easy.

You should avoid your own t-shirts until the account has aged well.

I would not sell already made ones on a new account. Too many options for the sale to go wrong & so cause problems.

When you start again, you have to try to make sure not to make the same errors.
