Re: eBay first item
 

90 days from first successful sale is too much time. This will stop my stealths. Any idea what should i do ?

I was thinking that list on other ebay site different than that i made account is not big issue. :s

Re: eBay first item
 

You could use a different account, but a new account selling on another platform is a quick limitation (usually).

You'll need to build sales.

Hate to break it to you, but there is no *easy* way back on ebay.

Re: eBay first item
 

Will try to find new low risk items for platform that acccount was registered. You helped me a lot again :thumb:

Re: eBay first item
 

You're welcome.

Just avoid the complications and you'll be golden.

You've been doing great so far. You're now incorporating too much risk which could cause suspension, so steer well clear of that.

Re: eBay first item
 

Thanks for supporting me! I needed these kind words!

I will. I am still learning and i need to clear all questions.

Re: eBay first item
 

Should I wait 30 days after account was created to list my first item ?

Re: eBay first item
 

You dont have to wait that long. you can start listing (low risk item) within a few days of browsing.

Re: eBay first item
 

Very good :thumb:

I read today in the Stealth Book that the goal is to survive the first 90 days. Is it good idea to gain feedback with low risk items 3 months ?

Re: eBay first item
 

Ideally you want to always sell low risk items.

After 90 days, you can start pushing it into higher price brackets. I wouldn't say you'll be able to list higher risk items after without risk of repercussions.

Re: eBay first item
 

I made a purchase while i was doing browsing history on a brand new stealth. Few bids. Shipping is so expensive and i didn't saw it. I really did it as a eBay newbie :)

Will be a red flag to accept deal cancelation from seller ? I want to make my first listing next week.

Re: eBay first item
 

I think one cancellation you may get away with, but multiple could pose issues.

If it's a bid, you can usually cancel the bid so long as the listing isn't in its last 24 hours of sale.

Re: eBay first item
 

Ok. Is browsing good enough or i need bids ?

Thanks. It was too late for cancelation.

Re: eBay first item
 

I'd advise you to browse for a few minutes, come back next day and place a bid.

I think bidding and browsing goes hand in hand.

Also try to bid on items that aren't high risk of fraud by buyers (i.e. iPhone etc.), also look for items which you know will go for a higher price so you don't end up having to pay for it.

If you win, make sure you do pay for it or you'll run into issues...

Re: eBay first item
 

Good to know. Thanks.

I was thinking that browsing is enough and i made my first stealth without bidding. I will do both from now on. :thumb:

Re: eBay first item
 

Browsing, Bidding, Selling (then receiving positive feedback from sales) are all a part of building a strong account. Especially the receiving positive feedback on eBay from sales as PayPal see's that.

Re: eBay first item
 

Receiving positive feedback, very nice feeling for me.

After i do 10 positive feedbacks is it good idea to make more low risk item listings, i.e. 3-4 current listings together ?

Re: eBay first item
 

Once you've hit 10 positive feedback (from sales), you can start scaling up. It shows to eBay your competent enough now.

Re: eBay first item
 

Should I wait for the first feedback to put a second listing or two listings with low risk items on new acc ?

Re: eBay first item
 

In my experience you can easily go faster than that. If its low risk low priced (15 bucks or less for me) items I usually list 3 items a day even if the account was just created. never had a problem with that.

Re: eBay first item
 

Thanks a lot. Yes it is 1€ items. Will try this right now.

You don't make browsing history at all ?

Re: eBay first item
 

I do build up browsing history.

Re: eBay first item
 

You are browsing just on the day when acc was created ?
