I think getting suspended for cheap feedback depends on a lot of factors. On a recent occasion, I had been doing well with an account, but decided that I wanted to get enough feedback to do multiple item listings (so I bought mainly a lot of 1p ebooks), and I was suspended for violating the spirit of ebay policy, whatever the hell that meant.
Other times, I've done it, and been fine. I suggest that you buy the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM that you need to get BIN, and splurge on an item in the five dollar range. Maybe even go so far as to make one item a physical product, and not an ebook. Ebay seller planetsms is an extremely reputable seller who has ebooks from .99 up, so buying from him might not be too suspicious.
On another note: I just opened a new account and want to start selling right away, but since the account is less than 5 days old, I can't leave feedback, which means that if I buy ebooks for feedback, I won't get any left for me until I leave it for the seller, as most of them work with an eye for an eye mentality. So, if anyone with a good account is selling ebooks, PM me, or if you are selling a physical item, I'll "buy" it and reimburse you for the listing price via PP. NEED FEEDBACK!
