Hello. One my accounts that I strictly sell decals on is in danger of falling below standard. Although it has 99.4 feedback with 4.9 DSR all around I received a bunch of "Item not received" cases which dropped my transaction defect severely. I do not ship with tracking due to the low cost I sell the decals for (around $1 to $5). Although they do received the package and were happy and left positives, I still get hit due to the case being opened in the first place.
My question. I am selling less and less on this account which is causing the defect rate to increase in percentage even though I have not received anything bad since Christmas. I was wondering that If I took another account and purchases 50 $1 decals, would those 50 sales all count towards my sell rate and help keep the percentage at bay?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Need to boost seller rating fast. Will this work?
This is a bad idea. If you buy 50 items on one of your eBay accounts from another account, you could very easily end up linked. eBay would most likely think it unusual for one account to buy 50 items from another account and leave 50 positive feedbacks just at a time when you are most in need of those positive feedbacks. And they wouldn't count anyway. If a buyer leaves more than 1 feedback for a seller during the same week, it is counted as 1 when calculating your feedback rating, even if 1,000 feedbacks are left.

You have a high risk of linking those accounts. Why don't you spread sales through other accounts, and let this one cool off until Christmas, since that was the last time you got negative ratings?

Don't do it, bad idea, can be detected by EB as a feedback manipulation, and both accounts will be suspended, as that is very irregular behavior for a regular buyer to buy 50 single items from one seller. Moreover, if a buyers leaves several feedbacks during 1 week, they all will be counted as 1.
