Re: eBay first item
 

There's a lot to it. Not just age, or limits, etc. You'll just have to keep trying and suss it out. Nobody will share the method here as it can end up getting abused by those who sell counterfeit products.

Re: eBay first item
 

Yes i know that. Thanks. I want to sell branded, not counterfeit items. I think both for eBay is on same level.

Re: eBay first item
 

Instead of wasting too much time and energy on this, find another niche of products you can sell that aren't as high a risk.

Right now your learning stealth, and trying to suss out way to sell branded items will just over confuse you.

Focus on stealth accounts, and selling on them for now.

Re: eBay first item
 

Learning stealth wiil be the first step. I hope to have master degree at all things someday. We never now :) Thanks

Re: eBay first item
 

Your welcome.

P.S. You will never learn stealth by just reading the guide. You need to practice by making a few accounts.

Then when you get stuck, ask questions. That's how you'll learn best :)

Re: eBay first item
 

Yes. Another good point. Thanks. Practice time :thumb:

Re: eBay first item
 

Your welcome ;)

Re: eBay first item
 

I want to ask, is it risky to save my stealth photos on desktop folder ?

Re: eBay first item
 

Why would that be an issue? You wonder if they can see your computer? Or the folder name?

It's not going to be a problem, but I do always name my photo folders so they match the account name of the EB account, for clarity's sake, and so I don't reuse a photo on more than one account.

You could also rename your computer from: "Hi, I'm Aquero and I'm running a stealth account on this machine, I hope you don't guess that's what I'm doing and ban me" to "desktop". :)

Re: eBay first item
 

No, i was asking because i read some threads here that some people are hosting their photos.

Re: eBay first item
 

If its being hosted, its on a server somewhere. Not on your desktop folder.

Re: eBay first item
 

Yes, i make the difference. I was thinking that being on my desktop folder on new user account it is some kind of risk. Now i know it's not an issue.

Re: eBay first item
 

Is it necessary to name my photo folder so it match the account name of the eBay account ?

Re: eBay first item
 

Not necessary at all.

To make it super simple, your already using different user accounts for different accounts, just put the pictures on the desktop for that account.

Re: eBay first item
 

That's great!

I already made my first stealth this way. More questions less troubles :)

Excuse me for that.

Re: eBay first item
 

We're all here to help you. Ask away. :)

Re: eBay first item
 

No need to be sorry, this forum is built to support folks with the stealth guide.
So ask away!

Re: eBay first item
 

As long as you learn - and use logic and common sense :)

Re: eBay first item
 

Is free shipping in listings on first low risk items will be a red flag and can i use stock photos or just modifiеd them ? I read in the stealth book that stock photos are not good option but many eBay members are using them in their listings.

Re: eBay first item
 

You need to use actual pictures of items - not stock.

Free shipping is fine.

Re: eBay first item
 

Good to know. Thanks.

Is it risky to start few stealths with different first item from one niche/category ?

Re: eBay first item
 

Nope - thats completely fine.

Re: eBay first item
 

So, I have new IP, new name, new address, new user account, new cleaned pictures, new look listings, different passwords on eBay and PayPal, low risk items. Do i miss something important in the whole process ?

Re: eBay first item
 

That sounds about right.

Good Luck :thumb:

Re: eBay first item
 

How did it go?

Will update soon. I am making feedback now. The real deal is upcoming.

Re: eBay first item
 

When i made first acc i was able to choose my own eBay ID. With the second they generated it automatically. I am a bit confused. Is automated ID will be red flag for stealth and if i change it will be red flag too ?

Re: eBay first item
 

I'd give it a few weeks before changing it. But you can manually change it after, that's fine.

Re: eBay first item
 

Good idea. I will change it after at least 30 days and will update.

Re: eBay first item
 

I am reading Stealth Book again and I realized that the most important thing for long life account is feedback. This is the only way to build trust in eBay. Am I right ?

Re: eBay first item
 

Pretty much.

Accumulating lots of seller feedback is the way to go.

Account age is also important.

Re: eBay first item
 

Good point about the account age. Before start selling a high risk items what is good account age, 90 days i.e. ? I read this in the Stealth Book

Re: eBay first item
 

To be frank, there's never a good time to sell anything high risk. The moment you do, regardless of how perfect your account is, your clock starts to tick. At anytime you could then get limited.

Re: eBay first item
 

Ok. What about selling more expensive items, what account age is good for that ?

Re: eBay first item
 

That's something you work your way up to.

Week 1 sell £10 items, week 2 £20 items, week 3 £40 items... etc.
Not too many of course, especially in the early weeks.

Re: eBay first item
 

I have two nice feedback. I am waiting another one soon. When is good to list two low risk items together ?

Re: eBay first item
 

If you've received 2 positive feedbacks already (from sales), then you should be okay to list 2 low risk items (given value isn't too much higher than those you've previously sold).

Re: eBay first item
 

Don't rely on 1 account to sell high risk items - no matter what age, it's risky

Re: eBay first item
 

I'd echo the same point rsot made - this would be a good time to start on another account. If you get tempted and start pushing this account too much (especially during the early stages) it can get you limited. Then you'll be back to square one.

Re: eBay first item
 

Ok. Will try it this week. Items are same value as i sold before.
