Is it too much of a high risk to list 20 items that total $2500-$3500

[BeatrixKiddo]

Hi, I have some items I would like to list for the holidays. There are about 20 items.

The total cost If each and every item where to sell for the price I would like is somewhere between $2500-$3500.

How many items a week, is safe?

I have a 100 item listing or $5000 limit every month, but have heard horror stories of people falling far below this margin and still getting eBay suspensions.

Please help! I have spent so much money on these products and the last thing I want is it be suspended and have no way to sell these items.

The items are new but I will be selling them as used just to avoid the dreaded "Please send invoices, receipts clause"

I have 7 feedback and the account will be just over 2 months old In two weeks (When I plan on listing the items)

However, I currently have about 4 items which are soon to be delivered so I may be up to a yellow star by then with 10 feedback

That is way too much way too soon.

You are need to be 6+ months to be able to sell that sort of value safely.

Would $1000-$1500 a month still be too much?

Do not sell more than 2000-2500 on new PayPal account for the first 3 month. Unless of course you want to submit documents such as photo id, proof of shipment, invoices such as utility bill or bank statement etc ...

Thanks for this info. This has been noted.

If you are worried about sending in documents, don't sell anywhere close to $2000 in your second month.

You have to baby a stealth account. Start slowly and list more every month. You want to look real to ebay, not many people would list $2000 of items in the second month.

In my opinion that is still too much to list in your 2nd month

I will likely do $750 or less. Thanks for the info guys.
always with eBay/PayPal, better SAFE than SORRY

The biggest reason why you shouldn't is because its out of character for the account. If you look at it from eBays perspective your clearly a business. The will limit you for 2 reasons.

One is to just verify you as a entity or the person behind the profit...but obviously since its stealth you will be shut down for good. You could also simply get shut down due to high risk which in all honesty is why you would most likely get shut down. Keep in mind too, its balancing not just eBay or Paypal but you must make BOTH happy in the start of new accounts..
