Two Stealth Accounts Selling Similar Products
 

Hi - I have an account that has < 10 feedback rating - 100% Positive. I recently got an increase to list more items: up to - 35K per month. One of my other accounts has selling restrictions as my DSR has gone down so I was thinking of using this account to sell more items.

Would this be risky? and can ebay link stealth accounts selling similar items if photos, descriptions etc are different?

Don't rush into anything, just increase your listings carefully sp they don't suddenly seem to shoot up. Also not wise to just shift a lot of your listings from your restricted account over to this one straight away, mix some of them in with newer items so that it just does'nt just look to eBay/PayPal that you have simply moved those items across to this other account. Finally don't do any of the things that got you those selling restrictions in the first place or you will just waste this lovely big limit account through the same restrictions or even worse new restrictions!

Perfectly fine to do that.

Just use new photos, descriptions etc you know the drill.

Its unlikely they would link you, but id suggest moving items across slowly. Mixed in with other new items. Your customers or competitors may notice whats happening otherwise. Which potentially could lead to issues.

I realise its quite far fetched, but better safe than sorry.

Rosie, the selling restrictions wasn't due to the products I was selling, it was because my DSR went to 'below average'.
