Thats a good way to do it. Thats how my accounts started.

I also go this route, and it has always seemed to work out the best

Don't say this kind of comment - moving forward, if you want to bump your post just do it in a smart way...add info on your accounts....why you want to upgrade...what you had read, etc - think about it...

Re: Start of as a personal account
 

You can do that , I just prefer to upgrade it to business off the bat and get it over with rather than hit a treshold and have them ask me to upgrade.

Ok well ill be starting my account as personal, quick question when do you think its ok to move up the business and kick it up a notch with selling?

Re: Start of as a personal account
 

Get feedback for the next 2-4 weeks then bump it to business account.

If you want to sell more, just keep adding a few extra items to sell every week.

SaiJin how would you go about getting feedback as the account is a stealth account so any purchases will be dispatched to an address that you have no access to!

big mistake personal account.
super high end of auction fees.
If you do that, ull never gets high limits.

stealth accounts and any account can be shut down if your competitor reports you, you shouldn't be trying to build an account slow, because it takes one competitor and all your work down the drain.

stealth account should aim to last 1-5 months, so make high sales and fast sales.
That's what I always do and make a lot of money.

imo

Re: Start of as a personal account
 

It really depends on what your selling and your goals. I have stealth accounts that are old. I don't rip and roar with them.

I am not sure what your end goal. Are you planning to build these accounts over time and have consistent sells or your planning to burn these accounts down to ground. Just keep more into rotation.

It comes down to what you sell and the category your items are listed low risk or high risk items.

That's silly and wasteful, most of mine are 6-8 YEARS old.

WTH???!!!

Crazy crazy stuff.

Re: Start of as a personal account
 

Dallis is right. If your vet in stealth accts. You will see that the long term solution will benefit you a lot more than ripping and roaring. The fact that eBay and PayPal are getting more sophisticated it will become harder to make accounts.

Slow and steady wins the race.

I thought the exact same thing when reading his stupid comment

Re: Start of as a personal account
 

The people doing this usually are ripoff artists who have to fold up and restart again every few months.

It has nothing to do with competition.
