Hi All
Hoping for some guidance.
Since reading the ebay stealth book and various threads I set up multiple stealth accounts and they've been running well for over 3 years now.
I sell Vero items, high value but low volume, across the different accounts and always follow protocol etc...
Recently, (last 6 months) have noticed many of the listings being removed. I have restrained from relisting on the same accounts but it is definitely consistent removals across the different accounts! (EMAIL FROM EBAY BELOW)
The ask:
- have others noticed extra listings removals recently? trying to work out if it is just me and the items im selling..
- I am going to try a few different variations in the way I sell to see if maybe I was being too similar in my listings before (pics were always different but maybe other elements of the listings were too similar e.g. postage, description, condition etc etc
Does anyone have any other key things for me to consider here?
Im thinking of buying a new stealth account to test the above theorise rather than risk testing on my accounts which are 3+ years old!
Any help/input would be MUCH appreciated so thanks in advance guys!
