when to start listing buy now prices?
 

when should i start listening at buy now price does it matter when do i start any suggestions or advice?

No real suggestions or advice - just list slow and hopefully your item is not high-risk.

but do you suggest when i should list buy is buy now prices considered more risky than auction listings?

i did from the off on a few acct's

how much did you have listed cuz some of my items are considered high risked does it matter if i run 6 auction at 7 days vs 6 buy now prices listing at 31 days?

my items were not high risk so.... you've heard the advice - list them at your own peril - very very slowly if high risk - they would probably limit you from the off if you tried to list lots of high risk.
Example: on one of my account's I list a high risk- low priced item. They won't let me list more than 3-4 per month.

i have sold about 30 items and about 20 of them are considered high risk and its ok but ive been only doing like 5 per week auctions i just want to do buy now prices since i can garentee the price i want

How old was your account when you sold 30 items ?

almost at the 3 month mark

Thats great but if I were you I would take it easy now. Almost past the 3 month mark. Wouldn't want to F*** that up now would we?

when you guys say 3 months, do you mean 3 months old or 3 months of seller activity? if i were to create a stealth and let it age for 3 months is that the same?

eb only judge u on your selling activities - so even if the account is 12 months old - if you have been selling for the past recent 3 months - they will judge you upon this.

i did buy it now day 1. just not fixed price. i listed as auction with buy it now. few used buy it now, few didnt.

at 0 feedback would you consider one $50 low risk item listing with multiple quantities (around 10?) ok?

Pringles, from what Ive been reading on these forums recently, with 0 feedback thats got to be risky.. you might attract some serious heat

In my opinion not a good idea. Personally, I would list one, sell it, get feedback, list another. Do this until you've built up a bit of seller feedback. It also depends on the specific item as well.

Please remember that some methods that work for one seller, may get another seller canned.

thanks for the advice guys
at the moment ive been maintaining around 5 auctions per new stealth
working alright so far... but we'll see :)

depends on the item. i can list fixed price style on some items for $60 and list the same item auction style and it might sell for $80. however, on all of my auction style listings, i always put a BIN price.
