Default Low risk items to sell?

I wanted to know what is a low risk item in ebay eyes? And a high risk item because it seems like different people have different opinions on what's a low risk item and what's a high risk item? Can I sell iPhone chargers as long as I don't list them as iPhone chargers? I've seen different answers any help?

electronics and smartphones related are high risk items..

a pencil is a low risk item...

How can people find your iPhone chargers if you don't list them as iPhone chargers?

If people find them, then also ebay will find them.

LOL, Sorry it's just a little funny.....you want our opinion on what's considered low risk item because there are a lot of opinions on what is considered low risk and high risk.....lol.

Your not going to sell too many of those chargers, and in my opinion you should stick to items that are not in the electronics area.

Stay away from anything in high risk categories in the very beginning, even if the item seems low risk

Sorry, please also enlighten me with this matter - 'high risk items'
i've been selling electronic items in my eBay accounts, and so far none of them got suspended, even in the first listings.
Was thinking of selling more microsoft surface pro or macbooks, would my account be suspended for doing that?

So as we all know, there really isn't much of a black and white answer here.

It may sound silly, but I use my feeling. I've sold used router, modem and such on a fresh account. I think that if you have the mindset of someone just clearing up their basement, it'll show VS someone who is trying to pull something off.

Hope I make sense here
