finally back on eBay
 

so I am finally back after being gone for about 3 weeks, a friend gave me his account buying account he had since 2006, i checked out the selling limits 100 items 5k i listed one DVD he has no feedback as a seller should i list all my items ? or just built my feedback first ?

Re: finally back on eBay
 

Best to list low risk items, certain dvd's can be considered high risk..especially anything new.

Built some other seller feedback first - low end items

Household items, low end business items...ideas worth considering OP

Re: finally back on eBay
 

i have a few used dvds and just stuff around the house a use iphone things of that nature

Re: finally back on eBay
 

...I phone and mobile phone stuff might not be the best way to start... usually high risk items.

Re: finally back on eBay
 

Build some feedback first to be safe and take it slow. In the meantime, make more accounts to sustain your sale volume.
best of luck

Re: finally back on eBay
 

You MUST be careful about your activity on the account.

DVDs are dangerous.

Find safer items to list. Go slowly.

avoid a used iphone :faint:


Hope you and the friend have made arrangments for tax matters too.

Re: finally back on eBay

Re: finally back on eBay
 

It is an IPHONE.

Scam city for many.

Be aware of the potential for troubles here.

Find safer items.

Good Luck

3 days is a little too quick to be starting sales on new account

Re: finally back on eBay
 

I really would avoid selling anything like DVD's, iPhones ect on an account with 0 selling history

Start with things like old books. Much safer.

I would also start to build up some other stealths so you spread the risk

Re: finally back on eBay
 

Mate were here to help you, take the advice, any new electronics is not good to start with.

Sure list it but expect a soft limitation at least.

Some people find it easier to learn the hard way i guess. :brick:

Re: finally back on eBay
 

...time for backup stealth accounts :FF:

Re: finally back on eBay
 

I mean 30 days sorry

Re: finally back on eBay
 

its an used item i am only selling stuff around the house old dvds old iphone nothing new

Re: finally back on eBay
 

Don't go for iphone just yet

Re: finally back on eBay
 

This has been covered so many times on the forum.

NO iphone, phone items or electronics on a new account.

List some used books, household, yard sale items first.

Slow down and think about what you are doing. No need to hurry and get it canned right away.

Build trust and feedback first then go with items you have.

used or not, iphone would be a disaster as the first item listed.

Re: finally back on eBay
 

My first account 12 months ago I started with iPhone cables and screen protectors etc. it just had its limits increased to 100 last month. Has 100% 5* no problems.

My second account opened 9 months ago is now on 1100 £35000 limits. Selling safe things.

My latest account went to 30 the following month.

That first one had to endure 6 months of 10, then another 6 of 30.

Do the math

Re: finally back on eBay
 

I used my Mothers details to open a new eBay account (with her permission). You've grabbed a friends account to use why not see if your parents will let you use their details for further stealth accounts. I found it less hassle than going down the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details route.

if you want to sell some items around the house go ahead you got to start somewhere it's just if you try to sell stuff like cell phones and stuff like that you will not be able to sell them for much because of your low feedback score you can take some pictures and get some recipes and sell them on there for under .99 to build your feedback score also to start a seller history.
