i couldn't make this up

[arktech]

About 2 years ago i opened an eBay and paypal account just for buying off eBay to resell on Ebay on another, "stealth account". No bank account attached on the paypal just a visa debit card for my real banned address and name, gmail and voip phone number.

Almost everyday this week i get eBay emails urging me to start selling on Ebay the latest offering me a £10 voiucher to spend on ebay when i sell something and also an offer of 5% off when i sell something.

I do not beleive in luck because i am unlucky and i know if i tried to sell it would get limited.

Thanks for all the input folks

What is your question?

This is nothing new. Q4 2016 eBay began a campaign to begin unsuspending accounts (giving sellers a second chance) - I think they realised how strict they were with their autonomous banhammers.

I think too little too late, we've found stealth now.

The OP mentioned he did not want to chance his luck on taking up eBay on their offers.

You are welcome.




OP, artech, wise move. Ebay lie, the bar stewards.

Oh it was about the voucher and offers...yeah smart not to fall for that smoke & mirror tricks - stealth...new accounts...win

[oompaloompa]

you get offers for buying and coupons on stealth too anyway, if you just sell, they want you to buy stuff too.......just click and collect.

[arktech]

yes i do and usually take advantage of buy offers and use click and collect

Amazon taken quite a lot market from ebay and now ebay realize this, they making huge changes in future to get seller back, let's see how this goes,

To be honest AZ is far batter option to sell compare to ebay, more profit less problems specially with FBA

A lot of people compare eBay to Amazon and vice versa, but in reality they are quite different - in the sense that some of my products just dont shift on Amazon, but a tonne of them sell daily on eBay. Im sure same can be said the other way around.

eBay has a few perks, and so does Amazon - I really like the concept of FBA but have never used it yet. But I think its fair to say you should test your product in multiple marketplaces to see which it thrives in more.

Play that's the thing amazon itself is very slow but when you use fba This makes huge differnce,

Let say same product sell on ebay around 5 per day with amazon this will be maybe 5 per week or less but with FBA it will be around 8-10 per day

That's the beauti of FBA

I would say you must try you will see the differnce

But if one inst smart enough, they will get the coupon code for the discount and use it on their buying account. Yet possibly linking the two?? I wouldn't be surprised if eBay is already doing that.

Another reason not to fall for the trick.

The code can only be redeemed on the account it was received on.
