How to be a seller there? Can be stealth?

Univerzal · #2 04-09-2013

Yes. Be prepared for high shipping costs (for you) and good luck

MM78 · #3 04-09-2013

I looked at their Tablets...over priced!

Gamefreak · #4 04-09-2013

Legit stealth, they require ALL info upfront. Name, address, SSN/EIN. Selling on there ever since the name change has been terrible. NO sales

incniu · #5 04-09-2013

So, all real info required,right?

how is the selling fee?

Fee is actually the best thing about the entire site. Its about what ebay store is charging for everything which is around 10%.

and yes ALL legit info. These guys dont seem to play around either, they seem to want established businesses. The first time I applied I was denied.

I created a site, showed them my ebay and amazon and told them how much I made which seems to have convinced them to accept me.

Did pretty good sales last year with them.

Also, with a name like rakuten...sounds like a noise you make just before throwing up!

Hi guys really need your pleased can I open a play.com stealth account ?

Freakzilla · #10 05-05-2013

Play.com check the electoral roll, to see if your on the address you specify. No way around it.

unkown5454 · #11 05-05-2013

Raku/ten is the Japanese Amaz/on. So, don't think they are complete retards.

trigger2012 · #12 05-05-2013

How would that info match what's on the Electoral Roll?

trigger2012 · #14 05-07-2013

sorry mean could i put my eBay Stealth account deatiles in

Freakzilla · #15 05-07-2013

No, because the information wouldn't be on the electoral roll.

hardybents · #16 03-24-2014

Has anything changed Rakuten? Anyone having success selling? Wondering if the Japanese really use the US to buy cheet?

Gamefreak · #17 03-24-2014

ever since the name change I've had major problems with these site

rsot · #18 03-25-2014

What kind of problems?

Gamefreak · #19 03-25-2014

linking to shipping software, shipping software unable to upload tracking. Emails not being received and more..

hardybents · #20 03-26-2014

But how is the traffic? Sales? Many US buyers or overseas? I have read that the US traffic is picking up, just looking for additional channels.

rsot · #21 03-26-2014

Traffic is not so high as compared to big sites liek eB and Amz but picking up over time

Any comparison in sales ?
I do understand it depends on niche , but
I do sell around 30-50 items on Ebay a day and probably 1 on Bonanza a week...
Mostly because items I sell are more for European market and on Bonanza 95% customers are from US
Bonanza buyers look more relaxed. Site itself is not too bad apart from sales I need ( Most important part )
