Low end collectibles will attract a MC999.....
Be aware of that.
ebay has pulled several for users here who got given that advice.
The basis was the fact it was a COLLECTIBLE on a new account.
Just when I think I have a handle on things something new to me comes along.
Please know I am not ridiculing what you said GB cause I read and learn a lot from your posts and advice but this one surprised me.
Everyone here should clearly understand to steer clear of any NEW collectible items because of the counterfeit factor.
As many here advise, don't list NEW items as a new seller. This can prompt eBay to ask for receipts as proof of ownership of what your listing.
All I list are collectibles for the most part. Used items, garage sale items, antiques, estate finds, but basically all are collectibles or they wouldn't sell.
My items are also lower end values which is part of what makes them collectible........ they are affordable collectibles for people on a tight budget like lets say buying old pens and mechanical pencils and advertisement things like match books and ash trays and old lighters.
Is this true? Is the word "collectible" a no-no???
When I say collectible it's pertaining to old watches, lamps, books, tools, jewelry and so on.
Old stuff that may at one point in time have been counterfeited but certainly never targeted for high volume faking back in the day.
I'm just looking for a bit more detailed advice here for not really me but for so many new members that are trying to walk softly with what they start selling.
The reason this thread caught my eye is because the items I list and sell are always low end and considered collectibles but I have never had a stealth account suspended yet for what I sell.
My experience with lost accounts revolved around poorly chosen stealth identity raising questions that brought about the dreaded SS#.
