Questions for staying under radar.

[The Don]

I made some new accounts and ready to sell. Should I start off with low priced items like $50-99 dollars. Also can I use BIN with a max of 3 items? Would I get taken down if I do this?

Also if I sell an item for over $100 and I do the shipping threw paypal, when it is delivered will they release my funds even though I am new?

Build feedback - go very low - 50 and under I would say. What`s your feedback at now? Be prepared for 21 day holds and nonsense.

Once bidder leaves feedback, payments will be released relatively quickly.

All the best

0 feedback on the accounts. I wouldn't mind the hold because I'll just use shipping with paypal.. They release when it's delivered right?

Thanks for the tip

Yes, usually 1-3 days after.

FYI: Immediately selling on New accounts is not recommended. I am still using the same Stealth eBay account from when I 1st joined this forum over 2 years ago.

Accounts that last are the ones that start off slow. Do some buying, then list some low priced items from around the house.

Anyway...let us know how it goes for you if you dive in head first.

$50.00-$99.00-----LOW PRICED????

I got a Feeling that what You Might consider High Priced, "Other's" might consider Grand Larceny!!!

How about under $10.00 for Low Priced?

I agree.....definetly in and around $10 to start..building feedback and TIME TIME TIME is the way to keep an account up and running. Once you have a smooth going account there is little to worry about. Good Luck!

TGMT and Slapped and needhelp are right. Go slow - get some feedback going bidding then start selling. At 50-99, you will likely begin to get ID hit by eBay.

I personally dont sell on any account until its like 3 months old. When you have 10 accounts "in the oven," by the time you need them, they are already 4-6 months old. My accounts stay alive anywhere from 6 months-1 year on average. Most of my payments don't even get held once the account is that old.

Dang 10 bucks is very low.. :(

Ok I'll start off with that much for a month and then move up. Thanks guys

so do you always get closed down? do they find out they are stealth accounts? is it possible for it to ever work and stay open for good?

IMO PP doesn't want you withdrawing more than $500 a month, and you can expect your first limit from eBay after 1K in sales, but this based on my personal experience.
