Selling Windows 10 Keys on eBay

Pat1991 · #1 10-17-2019

Hello,

so I got a cheap source for Windows 10 keys. Not illegal, as far as I know. Selling 3-10 a day with about 1 USD profit, and I can almost totally automate the whole thing using a tool called Keysender. Nice start to make an income online!

Now of course, eBay starts pissing me off. One account burned, the other one is still untouched. I want to sell my ****ing keys, goddamnit!!!!!!

Read about eBay Stealth & Paypal accounts. Good thing but it seems to me that just isn't worth it with the few bucks I make per account.

Also, to expand my business and get proper listings, I would need a few more accounts from different countries.

So what to do? Anyone got a solution?

First off don't fool yourself - these cheap sources are ALWAYS illegal. Always without fail. Nobody is going to give you something and lose money in the process.
And since those are extremely high risk items (for the reason mentioned above) youll ALWAYS have issues selling those on ebay. Expect the second account you have selling to go down at any moment. Same applies to any stealth account you try to sell these items on. It just wont work long term.

sack it off, it'll be an endless cycle of banned accounts.

Unless they're certified microsoft key sellers which costs a LOT. then they'll eventually get suspended from ebay!

Selling pirated Software is literally the fastest way to kill an account. I once watched a UK-based seller on eBay sell thousands of pirated Windows keys, the guy was pushing 300-500 keys a day!! To my surprise the account lasted for a good solid 2 months and then got kicked off.

Point is, steer away and find something else to sell.

Keys are illegal, so there is no way you can do that safely in a long term. Either burn lots of accs or dump this idea. No way you can sell from one acc for long. There are some accs that sell hundreds of them, but they were built up previously with something different AND their bomb is already ticking.

It doesn't matter if the account is aged or not. eBay doesn't usually intervene and tell the seller anything, eBay acts upon take down requests from rights owners.

After seeing this thread, I went to eBay and looked for Windows 10 keys... I found a seller who has sold 2000+ keys within the last 24 hours. Selling price was 2,99$.

I see these accounts selling Windows keys all the time, they last for a few weeks before Microsoft shuts them down.

I guesstimate that some of these dudes make few grands in the process and then leave.

Welcome to the forum - all the best as you master stealth

Selling keys like this is rough for long term operations OP - many of the posts in this thread have identified the issue. Best of luck regardless.

Rough market, rough product.

From experience, when it comes to selling software on eBay, that party has long ended.

3 to 4 years ago, VERO and other ebay

have gone Defcon 2

However

there are still ways

But like most say on here, the active cycle for such account WILL be short.
It is not worth it unless you are selling high priced items of that category AND willing to burn accounts if profit is worth it.

Get creative, use another platform, OR find something else to sell

Hint: eBay has different uses.

Anything microsoft is extremely dangerous. Even the real ones.

I was selling boxed Win 8 and Win 10 and that was relatively safe. All these cheap key sellers were removed very fast. However, it was 5 years ago, and after that ebay suddenly got flooded with 2.99 keys from guys who pop up accounts like spam, and ebay was pretty bad at killing them, and that safe thing ended - why to buy 150 usd box if can buy a key for 3 usd.

Microsoft has lost millions of dollars because of cheap keys being sold on eBay. I see sellers pushing 3000 keys a day for 1 month before they get shut down and there are a lot of them.

Quite a nice profit margin - volume really adds up

As someone who is intimate with digital sales on ebay I will say this. Your account will get banned at some point. Maybe not today, maybe in a few months, but it will get banned.

If you want to do this, regardless of the advice given, you will have to constantly make burner accounts. Given ebays new account creation restrictions/limits (whatever) it will be harder and harder to make new accounts, even more so when Managed Payments is a requirement.

Hello, and thank you for the warm welcoming!

This. I sell 4-9 a day and the profit is really stacking up, even if this is really kid level income. 1 USD profit per key in total is a pretty neat profit margin!

I just wonder how these guys manage to get 1000 per day sold.

And also for 2,99 or something! There is a fellow German who does it with his company, so there has to be a way.

No idea what. The dropshipping ship seems to have sailed.

Ms, scans now daily ALL ms keys and kick out ALL listing. All your accounts will be burned and as well your brand new pp too if you sell more than 50 a day on a new account. There was 800 listing 2 month ago with certain keywords. Now there are 210 maxo meno. From 210 50 cds.. rest get removed in max 2 days. Ebay even deleted other caterogy to minimize the abuse. And by the way those keys are msdn / volume keys non legal. Those keys are not for resell. 100% illegal. And they will be deactivated within 6 month. In order to do this right you need to know more than just blind selling a item you have no full understanding of ebays policy, ms vero legal office (their bot behavior). In general its all about machine learning. The profit gets real if you have knowledge and experience. There are only few seller who can survive. I do 5-7k profit with keys daily not just ebay, Good luck

stealthbro · #19 10-20-2019

And nobody would share his hard worked knowledge .. otherwise he would burn his income right away. I wont do it and others wont do it. I like it how it is now. Survival of the fittest. Same with sharing knowledge with account creating.. ebay just changed something recently for the first suspension to stop the abuse. Its getting hard and harder.

Pat1991 · #20 10-20-2019

So it is about trial and error, and loads of account burning.

@stealthbro, just to make it clear. CAN I sell at least a few dozen keys a day using fresh account, to build budget for the real thing?

In the process of getting the eBay Stealth guy (problems with my credit card), so I am getting info in the meantime.

I have no pity for these sellers and hope MS does a better job of shutting them down. They are outright thieves selling stolen software keys - by the thousands - knowing full well theres the distinct possibility that the person buying them will run into issues in the future for an inauthentic key (happened to several people I know).

The need to buy another key in 6 months?
