Recommended sale speed on new eBay account?
 

Hi, so I selling products on a new eBay account.
The item price is around $20
Once my item is sold, i relist the product roughly after 12 hours from the sale time.
12 hours needed to my item appear in the eBay search. So i wait roughly 24 hours to start a selling a new item.

Now what you think guys, can i speed up this a bit?

maybe to 12 hours. So then i will sell 2x $20 item per day roughly.

What is your experience about this?

On a new eBay account???

can you have quantity >1?
then you dont have to relist

Re: Recommended sale speed on new eBay account?
 

Ya just set the quantity to 10 or something so you don’t have to keep wasting time delisting

But what's up, if i sell too much item within 1 day.


This happened with me once on my previous ebay account. The account was new, and i sold 3 items a day.
Then i get suspened on PayPal, maybe because i get the moneys too fastly.
And the PayPal system triggered this.

So enable the out of stock option in your account settings so the listing will stay up with 0 quantity, then add 1 or 2 to the available quantity each day or each week or however slow you prefer to grow.

That way your listing shows up within minutes of you reactivating it and it gets a chance to build up watchers and a sold count.

Exactly just grow slow I’m taking my new account super slow like 20 items a month but I have a powerseller so doesn’t effect my cash flow that’s how you do it then it’s super strong and aged when or if needed

Thank you all for the help.
The "out of stock" option is very interesting. I will check it.

But still i don't know how much should be the time period between 2 sales.


bman707: 20 item/mo?? I can list only 10 items per month on a new eBay account.


I want to speed up the time period from 24h/1 sale to 12h/1 sale, but i'm afraid to get a PayPal suspension or limit.

Re: Recommended sale speed on new eBay account?
 

Best way for you to speed up is to have multiple accounts running.
You can sell the same exact across multiple accounts, but be sure to make the photos, description different, and just maybe have some small variation of the pricing.
This is what i do, and have best results so far. GOod luck.

I usually stick to First week -Under 200, Under the first month - 1000, second month 1500/2000, third month 2000 etc

W/ 50 Accs running

sorry all my accounts start with high limits but if you can only list 10/month just start slow sell and ship add tracking right away as soon as it says your item has been delivered list another depends more on the amount the items are worth your selling not so much how many items your selling if that makes sense you will figure it out.

Re: Recommended sale speed on new eBay account?
 

Do you think it would be a problem if I do this for example;
I have 2/3 products to sell and 2 accounts.
Selling the same variety of products on both accounts but with different pictures, description & pricing etc...
So if someone puts the accounts side by side, they’d see both are selling the exact same products :doh: but just different listings - do you think it’d cause any red flags?

Thank you
