Can anyone see a problem with this

I have a stealth pp and ebay. Their both 6 months old now, 40 feedbacks, sold just over 40 items. I want to sell a job lot as a auction. Im predicting it'll go for 700 - 800. I wont transfer the money out of the pp, I'll just buy things off ebay over time. Can anyone see a problem with this?

Many thanks

btw its in the video game category so not high risk.

Yes you could do this without a problem, I have bought products using a stealth account before as well

Video games are high risk, alongside DVD's.

You would be best to try to get payment via a means other than PayPal. There is a chance that with it being such a high value transaction (I am going to assume here that your average transaction is not £500-£800) it will be flagged to review by PP and then your account could get locked. If your average transaction over the last few months has been similar then the risk is reduced. Your plan of not withdrawing anything does also reduce the risk, but its important to know its still there.

Would it be high risk due to the fact they are pirated or are there other reasons?

Hi again, ebay closed the listing as I wouldn't accept PP. So now I'm planning on selling the lot as a buy it now price and message the winner to pay by skrill, cheque, postal order etc.

With the information I provided in my post, can someone tell me if it'll flag anything on my ebay account if i sell the item for £1000? (If I sell it for this amount i'll still be within my limits).

Thanks again for the help!

does anyone think that this will be ok?

As a buyer -I would want to pay paypal for the protection.

wills1230 · #12 12-16-2013

Thanks for replying to my thread trains but that doesn't answer my question.

wills1230 · #13 12-17-2013

Is anyone available to answer my question?

Thanks

OP, no person can predict what will happen. By not accepting pp to me might be a flag. transferring money out of pp is what they do. There should be no problem with that as long as you are prudent and don't transfer it at 1 time. Good luck. I would not buy if there was no pp.

Skrill works fine - it is accepted by eB as payment method
