Becoming a shop

[assad]

Do you guys become a shop straight away once you make your business account ?

You mean the eBay shop? You can do that if you want to.
It depends on your business model and what you want to accomplish.

I used a shop when I have a lot of items with different variation.

I usually get the account going before opening any shops.

If your opening a shop from the get go, your bound to list lots of items, and sell lots of items - both of which will get your accounts limited.

Though if you open a shop and just stick to 1 qty, 1 item listings at a time, I can't imagine there being an issue (though I've not tried it).

does this getting limited when selling a decent about of items apply to legit accounts ?

Yes - of course.

Stealth accounts (if made professionally) are no different to a usual account, that is the basic premise. Otherwise all stealth accounts would stand out like a sore thumb.

Some accounts seem to just do better than others.

No point to opening a store until I know if the account is going to perform well.

It all depends on how the person runs the account i believe, every account can to well if run properly

Okay then, you know it all, why bother to ask at all?

I wait to make sure the account is viable.

Have to watch selling those phone cables after all.

Oh wait, that is not me.

I don't think becoming a shop would raise any red flags. Here is what will trigger a review of your new account:

1. Spikes in sales. If you sell 500$ this month and 3000$ the next month, Ebay will want to verify your identity. (That happend with me)

2. Vero items, stay away from these and never touch them. Vero items are the deadly bullet that will mess up your account so badly (I learned that the hard way).

3.Suspicious account activity (always logging in from a browser that has no cookies, using a different IP every time you visit Ebay...etc).

4. Buying cheap stuff to get buyer feedback (Seems like Ebay does not like that).

5. Being identical to a suspended account (using item descriptions that were used before, same pictures...etc).



Good luck!
