Does eBay review old accounts if never used?
 

I have a few accounts I made about a year ago.
I never used them and recently logged on to find a high item/$ limit.

I was told eBay reviews new accounts within the first 90 days, so I should take it easy the first 90 days of a new account.

These old accounts I have with high limits are well over a year old.
Will they still review the accounts once I start posting ?Should I take it slow on these accounts?

Or because the accounts are over a year old, will they not review it and can I post all I want on them?
Thank you.

You should definitely take it slow since they have never been used. By default, I would consider that eb reviews accounts on the regular.

The accounts are not TRULY over a year old since they have been inactive

The clock only counts while you've been active on them.

Ok, thanks for the reply both of you. I will take it slow.

What would slow be considered?

Re: Does eBay review old accounts if never used?
 

If you created these yourself, I would just start with 1 item (quantity of 1 if BIN) and wait a day or 2 before making another listing. Just slowly increase every day or 2

Thanks for the reply.
So I should post about 1 item ever day or 2?
In total I would about post 30 items in the first month correct?

Does it matter how much I sell too?

Are you selling risky items or branded things?

I am selling used auto parts.

Re: Does eBay review old accounts if never used?
 

I am an auto dismantler and have receipts for all cars I have purchased and proof the parts are mine.

Am I a high risk seller?

Also my previous question, if I posts 30 items this first month, does it matter that amount of money that is listed or sold if all I list is 30 items ?

Understood - average sales are not super high as in 3-4 digit sales?

It depends on the parts posted. Some parts are posted with prices in the 3 digit range. So sales might be in the 4 digit range this month.
Or they might not be because I would only post 30 items.

Would 4 digit sales raise a red flag in this first month?
