selling on new account

[ooooo.halo]

I would really be grateful for some thoughts on selling on new accounts as i guess peoples opinions vary.
I have my first stealth about 3 weeks now and have one item for sale. When can i list more on that account. Everything is unbranded and used that i have to sell.
Have just set up a second account but probably not wise to even think about selling yet..but i would be really interested as this is my proper first go at stealth and want to get it right as much as poss
Thank you

selling 5, 6 or 7 items is quite normal on a brand new account.

Bear in mind that EB is watching very closely what you are selling on a new account so... unbranded and no high priced items are ok.

Thankyou and yes definately unbranded and low priced.
My second account has just been set up so figured i would wait a while on that one to be on the safe side

You do not have to wait.
Just browse around a little and put up for auction legit things... try to look as noobie as you can, eBay is made for sellers as well

Thanks again :-)

I have found,that if I sell one item, then wait 2 or 3 weeks before listing on that account again, I almost always get an immediate raise on my selling limits as soon as I list that 2nd item........

[elipse]

for ebay machines to think ur not a high risk, make sure you have a browsing history and bidding history... this works for me...

It all depends on preference. I usually max out my listing limits the first month BUT its not expensive or high risk items.

Your always taking a risk the more you list the the newer the account. A lot depends too on if your able to make more accounts if one gets shuts down. Not sure your limits but if these are all brand new, I would recommend opening ten accounts.

The thought process behind it is each account usually will receive its own perks/negatives. The accounts that survive are the ones that will be there for the long haul. Not to mention you have more chance to get increase in limits with more accounts.

You have one stealth - good - make 3-4 more and beginning building...then rotate sales

[rsot]

Good approach goldstealth

Yes but how r u getting around the bank account situation in the UK? If you have an account go down the bank account attached to it is gone as well you can't just add it to another one of those accounts you have created, obviously the bank account can never be used again for ebay, savings accounts no good as direct debits cannot be added to them, there are so many linked banks here these days as well

saving accounts are still ok to use just ignore the email saying about the DD as long you dont allow pp to with draw from it then all good to use make sure you pay your fees before the due date

It depends if your looking to build up the account then go slow and maintain good FB etc and slowly build up your sales
First month list around 4-6 items
Month after that increase to 10 and so on

But i sell high risk items so i dont really keep ebay accounts long i tend to simply create sell as much as i can and leave them be

Would you please explain this to me. I have two supermarket savings accounts that ive opened but was advised to stick to real banks due to paypal problems with them.
I would like to try using them as an experiment as they are sat doing nothing.
Would i link it as i would a normal bank account and then attach a vcc?
thanks for bringing this up

Get a VCC via entropay which is easy to set up

DO NOT use savings accounts as they cause many problems i tried it a week ago and just regret doing it open a normal bank account (debit card)


I reccomend HSBC as you can get away with mis matched names

Also...i have a brand.new tsb account opened about a month ago which i havent used. A lot of people on.here have said to stay away from tsb. So that account is a.bit of a waste if i cannot use it im afraid
