Default Selling Vape/E-Cigarettes on eBay

To start with. Yes, I know this will get you banned on eBay. I was selling 1-2k/day on eBay, and didn't really think it was an issue considering how many other competitors were selling the same product.

They suspended my listings but left my main selling account intact. So I'm staying away from that. I have a program that lets me change my IP address. I am building a website with the proper merchant services, etc. I'm actively using my sales on eBay to funnel customers, but building the traffic is slow going and I have a LOT of inventory I'd like to sell a little on eBay, as well.

Two main questions:

Is it even worth it making a stealth account for this? With looming FDA changes, eBay is in overdrive taking listings down.

Can PayPal keep my money? They sent me an email that sounded like if I sold vape stuff on there again, they'd be within their rights to keep my money.
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!

I would stop selling VAPE stuff on eBay this point. They really have cracked down on it. Its going to turn into the same scenario with people selling liquor as collectable bottles.

If they took down your listing. Its warning. I would stop for awhile and maybe sell it on a stealth account.

With the stealth account. I would list as auction. Although if your not making ROI on it. I would stop completely. There is going to be to point where no one will be able to sell Vape stuff.

My suggestion is to lessen your inventory until you get your website is online.

I use to sell vape stuff. I know your pain.

Depending on how much inventory you have you may be able to get a couple stealth accounts, spread your sales across them and get rid of your inventory in half or even a third of the time if it's no problem for you to manage 3 accounts.
When you go to purchase your account talk to your seller about what your trying to accomplish and im sure the can assist you with what you need.
Buying the Stealth Book is always a great first investment.

Yes, they can and they already warned you about it. Why try to run into the dead end

this is what stealths for lol. E cigs are how my empire started haha. Just make stealths, save their emails from paypal into mailchimp or similar and blast them with emails 3-4 times a week to your website.
Send leaflets aswell.
I have a vaping review site getting 20k views per day mostly from the US, message me when you when you get your site set up and I might be nice
