I've also just purchased
eBay Stealth, read it from cover to cover, and I'm quite glad I did. I didn't try all these new methods yet but browsing around this forum definitely makes me think that they are proven to work very well. I believer the new information I got from reading this was definitely worth the price.
Thumbs up!
Most of my questions were cleared up by reading but I have a few ones left:
1. Aged Accounts:
- When are Accounts considered aged? I've mostly read 30days, once 60days was mentioned, but someone form ebay support told me something about an account being considered "new" for the first 90 days.
- What exactly is the benefit of aged accounts? Do they simply seem a little less suspicious than new accounts when being reviewed or is there more to it? F.e. my impression was that when you put an article in on a new account, a person from ebay actively reviews your account and decides whether your account seems suspicious, does this review simply not happen when you put an article in with an aged Account?
- Do Accounts age from the day they're created or after they're phone verified or only after you've linked a paypal? and does that paypal have to be verified?
Bank Account:
- there is no mention whatsoever of using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ bank data.
eBay Stealth says to create a bank account for every ebay/paypal account, no alternatives.
For german Ebay it's been working quite without problems to simply enter ⊗⊗⊗⊗ bank data (It has to look real, but it doesn't have to be real, which isn't very hard to accomplish). As long as ebay fees always get paid beforehand via paypal, there's never been a problem, in my experience. I surely see the benefit of using a real bank account, mostly so you can also verify Paypal. I do not know how this works for other ebay sites, but if using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ bank data is possible or not and if yes, the pros and cons should be mentioned, I think.
skype:
- It says that using skype phone numbers is a bad idea, as skype is owned by ebay. As far as I know, skype belongs 100% to microsoft and this has been the case for over 3 years, am I wrong here or has the book not been updated for a while?
If you have any answers or opinions to anything I've said, I'd like to hear it
