Yes. Comic books I always start off with. After 8-10 positive feedback received, I always got increase in number to 150 items I can sell in a month. Alas, I had one eBay account go down permanently recently after they increased it to 150. I started selling high risk items and was suspended. Appealed. Declined. No big deal. |

You lose a few dollars but can easily establish yourself as a seller quite safely. | I especially like this baseball card idea because they are really easy & cheap to ship; they can go in a regular #10 envelope, 1st class mail. You can sell a ton of them and rack up feedback/history easiliy which is what you really need to get traction going on a new account.
On my 10/500 accounts, I like to sell cheap (less than $5) items, then gradually increase it to $10, $25, $50 after a few weeks. This usually causes eBay to give those limit increases and make the account stronger so I can start selling more. |

Margins on some of these items are really nice (think 80%+ net) but if not properly researched, the competition will eat you alive. The adult section needs to be carefull researched, and in fact takes some extra work to do it right. |

Is it possible that I dropship comic books or baseball cards? And I am guessing if I can dropship I should not dropship from amazon? Cuz the box will say it's from amazon? Any solution to this? Thanks again! :thumb: |

Do you know where I could dropship from instead or any other solution? Thank you |
