I got bought over 100 ebooks over the weekend it took about a week before I recieved all the feedback and cost me about $40, another thing I did was order a ton of those ipod, iphone accesories for under $1 ea with free shipping. My mailbox was jampacked full of miny padded envelopes from hong kong for weeks.

Me I tend to buy around 6-7 ebooks..just for the 1 day listings. If you want to get rid of the 21 hold quickly just sell some cheap items or keep selling on the account. i use sell 100 ebooks in 1 day then get the feedbacks next day no 21 day hold, but I got tired of losing the accounts after 3 weeks so I stopped!

Buying ebooks on new accounts for feedback is playing with fire.

I get a catalog every month called Wholesale Source that has alot of cheap items from the USA to resell.The catalog is free.....Another thing that seems to sell is ticket stubs from concerts and sporting events.If you go to a concert or sporting event save the stub and put it on Ebay.For some reason people go nuts over that stuff and it doesn't cost you a thing....Another thing that takes a little time is go to auctions and bye the dollar box lots.There is a bunch of useless junk in the box that people go crazy over.You can spend 10 bucks and have a living room full of the crap to resell.

Thanks for all the responses. I really appreciate it.
About buying ebooks, I ve also bought ebooks like crazy and for some reason after 2 or 3 weeks my account got suspended.
Once, i sold ebooks like crazy as well. like 100 in a week. After a week a received 50 something feedbacks, but a couple of days later all of a sudden i check my account and about 30 feedbacks had been deleted, they just disappeared. How? I have no idea.
So i stopped selling ebooks.
I guess buying a couple of them is not a big deal. neither selling a couple.
thanks!

ffs, start paying attention to what senior users here say. It is a known fact that selling ebooks has caused accounts to get suspended for feedback manipulation. So because this is a forum to encourage users to have accounts last & not get suspended, wtf is the point of recommending 'buy ebooks it's cool'
Just because YOU do it, it ain't necessarily going to work for a NEWBIE. Ergo,
we offer OTHER BETTER methods.

The trick is to have plenty of accounts in back up and to know how to create them quickly and easily- then you can trial and error and learn how to do it relatively safely, but if you are just starting out and you would be damaged if the account went down then don't bother.

Just use ebay's advanced search, pick a category and look for items under a buck with free shipping.

Thanks everyone ! I really didn't know that eBooks could cause so much trouble for an account.
I watch people sell them and get Tons of feedback, then they seem to disappear. I guess thats why !

I ordered a ton of those once, another thing you can do if you have a phony adress is buy coupons for a buck or less, its all just junk mail any way lol. All you really need is 10 feedback for 1 day auctions and buy it now, just buy 10 coupons for a buck ea. over the course of a few days and you should be good to go.

Anything under a $1 is not good! Especially if you buy 10 of them! IF you want to keep the account, then I'd suggest you stop doing that.

hi
got a couple of slow accounts that sell very high priced items, that dont always sell,but when they do its a big profit but have like 10 feedbacks each, they are a approx 6-9 mths old, so not new. If I sell say a couple of ebooks a week amongst my other product
that will bring feedback up safely?
whats the deal on buying an ebook with resell rights and selling it cheaper on SAME account that you bought it on, is it ok to do that or better to do it on another account?
also I intend to send ebook by email, but in ad youve got to say by cd - do people complain much when they dont get a cd??

How about 1 or 2 auction templates? There are some out there that are $.99. I even saw one guy state in his listing that you didn't want to pay for the auction, let them know and he would still give + fb.
