How soon for Buy It Nows

[ebanned]

So new stealth account up and running, got just over 10 feedback and recently introduced some buy it nows. They are now sold and shipped so some more feedback on the way.

My question is... How soon before you start using buy it nows often? Providing im not listing brand new stock, with duplicates of it all, is it safe to use buy it nows on random goods with a newish account or am I best knocking it on the head until I have more feedback?

I wait until at least 3 months and 90 feedback, not run into issues via that method. Not to say its not safer to list sooner though, but I don't run the risk.

I sold 2 buy it nows and have a couple more on, would you end them or leave them on?

[JamesNorth101]

If they are up already, leave them, just be slow in listing any more. Again though, this is just my preferred method, others may list more 'buy it now' without issues.

What do you do about new items James? Example being a toy or computer game, but unused. Just listing them at auction as one offs.

Never had problems with just listing buy it nows after a few sales are completed. Just avoid duplicate listings

One off items are the best way to start. Lots of the same should be at first avoided.

I personally have never had issues with BIN's on a new account (and relisting them) but it all goes to what the longevity you want out of the account.

There is no reason you cannot have longevity of many many years/ indefinitely, so long as the account is managed in the correct manner
