Listing online games accounts without problems

[EbayTom]

Hi, im a eBay user over a month, now after my acc get blockade on Video
games category indefinitely. My good friend created a new account for me that
contains ofc his personal details. Thats the sad story ^_^ . Anyway how
can i sell a digital game account without any problems with ebay staff
People are selling "guides with bonus/free LOL acc" is that allowed or better sell a guide that will explain "how to get Gold 3 acc witch champions" the gide is ofc
⊗⊗⊗⊗, it contains only Game login + passworld. Did you guys ever try selling online game acc ? How can i sell it legal with clear selling history, that wont provide a ban on my another acc -_-. (Are there ebay auctions links allowed to post inside message ?)

Don't worry about others selling this item, worry about yours. If you are going to try and sell these items I would suggest you go "Stealth" and create many accounts and I would also suggest you don't sell on your friends account...your most likely to get that account blocked also.

I am interested in this thread, as I sold a one-off one completely digital, it was a membership, I had no clue about gaming, it was a gift but I know where to get more and I sold it real quick and for a good price, been meaning to check it out further....

I used to sell language courses,sold like hotcakes and then I got a notice for digital, there was too much hassle to put it on disc and send and not enough profit, alot of competition too...

the funny thing is they ban digital but customers want it and hardly ever any issues...why would someone want a crappy cd in the post....

OP have you thought about making some discs or manuals with the product on and only sending it if someone asks where it is? I bet that is what some sellers do, when a disc is an actual irrelevance to the product.

Selling online accounts (in my case) seems to get flagged all the time - yet there are many other doing so. I believe it is the competition flagging others.

Offering to put info on cd is a good idea, but it is still a digital account and you will go through more accounts than you feel like.

eBay and PP dislike digital goods.

Other sellers may be able to do it, but they also may well be getting lots of removed auctions.

Better to find a tangible item to sell

they will remove listing digital good . and the buyer can open dispute to get money back .
take care !!

Welcome to the forums OP.

Digital delivery is long known to be an issue for eB/pp - get something physical/tangible going with it perhaps

Not worth the hassle at all.

So after ebay staff blocked my acc on Video Games i had started listing in Everythink Else category. As ebay recommends selling digital stuff there. Auction title is like: "Guide:How to get LOL account on NA". Description contains that its guide how to get acc which <content here>. I'm adding now that its short and usefull guide . And the biggest change is that im not sending account name and passworld by ebay message but by e-mail message, after that im contacting buyer with ebay message that i have sent details into his account. Now i have sold 2 accounts by this way having 10 possitive feedbacks. If there will be some problems i will just write here asap.
But i think everythink should be legit now.

You can probably get away with this, but be ready to have your account banned and need to make more accounts that are brand new..

I want to get into digital like ebooks manuals etc. What about the usual description saying "u can have it digitally straight away plus we'll also send a hard copy to comply with ebay a rules"

Then include a message with the digital saying if u also want your hard copy, confirm your address or something. I bet 90% of people won't as they happy with digital.

Soundalike a good idea or a no no?

Your biggest problem is that if you start selling digital goods with a zero feedback account....it won't last. The only way you would last is if you get a lot of feedback selling something else then move into your digital goods and even then there is no guarantee of anything.

I would build account up first, but do u mean a strongly established account?

Might just try it slowly amongst other products. Don't want to build account up too well as it's then a waste if gets shut down!

The more advise the better please!

So use a well established account, tread carefully, dilute it with healthy sales and then prepare for the worst.

this was my question time ago. Does it really make any different to sell 100's items with 2 high risk in it or, just list 2 high risk and stop?

I do not thin it will make any difference.

I think the more or longer u sell without issue the more ebay seems to trust you.
