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 ?

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

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

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 ?

Pretty much.

Accumulating lots of seller feedback is the way to go.

Account age is also important.

[Aguero]

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

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.

[Aguero]

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

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.

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

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).

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

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.

Thanks. I will make 2-3 more. Want to see how it will going with this account with few high risk items per week after i have a nice feedback. If I stand it don't work I will quit the business.

[Aguero]

Will be a red flag to change low risk item with which i made 2 positive feedbacks to another ?

Change to another what?

You mean edit listing? change description a little? - thats fine.

[Aguero]

Change to another low risk item. I want to try with different low risk item, to make feedback faster. Good or bad idea ?

Thats fine. you're not confined to listing one type of item.

[Squou1964]

I think it shouldn't be a problem.

[Aguero]

When you spoke about "aged account" what do you mean, more than 1 year old or more than 2-3 months old seller account ?

I read here that account start ageing after first sale.
