I sold microsoft office on very first stealth account thinking after 3 months all would be okay..
9-10 months later I got a message from paypal saying "were sorry but your acccount has raised serious concerns....." they said the microsoft office I sold 9-10 months ago was "⊗⊗⊗⊗".
The buyer was happy and even left postive feedback! Haha...
IMO as a general rule stay away from apple and microsoft products unless your 100% confident in what your doing.

I had 2 accounts selling MS Windows. One was selling OEM, other was selling retail. OEM lasted 1.5 months and got killed (made several mistakes though). Retail lives happily, as it seems that retails are more likely to be in a possession of an individual, so less suspicious.
What are good items to sell on new account?
I started off selling stationeries, kids clothes, shoes, curtains and sheet set.
Because I was only selling to build up my accounts I didn't made much profit initially but customers do buy them even though they had to wait 2 weeks for delivery.
Three months on and most of my accounts are free of the paypal holds and one of them has a $20,000 limit.

It seems to depend on the category with clothing being a finicky one. I would wait until your holds are released and then slowly introduce a single item at a time to test the waters.
If you have accounts to test you can try listing as used but show the tags in in the pictures. In my category this eliminates a lot of issues but it certainly would not work with many high risk/vero espcialy ones monitored by bots.
I meant I don't care if the customer sees I got the item at this outlet or that outlet I feel like I have to do that and just mark it up a little so ebay doesn't flag my account. I'd like to know more about their bots and ebays other automated bull****.
