Walking on egg shells?
 

Hi. I've listed my first 3 listings this week, all under £10, not sure if that matters but whatever.

Is there a moment or event where I can stop feeling like I'm walking on egg shells? And post listings as fast as I want without raising any red flags?

I have a 1000 listings limit, is it a safe idea to list 300 products in my first month? So 10 a day?

Thanks!

You just need to show gradual growth during the first couple of months, and then you can stop purposely limiting yourself.

Sell 5 items the first month -> 15 the 2nd month -> 30 the 3rd month -> then keep gradually growing at that rate until you are where you want to be.

You don't necessarily have to take it that slow but that is always the pace I've matured my own accounts at, and I don't remember ever losing an account during the 90-day probationary period.

You will always be walking on eggshells as long as you are not fully in control of your business (forced to use Paypal, forced to use eBay, etc...)

At least if you have a shop and there are mafia coming every week for protection money you can reason with them so they don't burn your store down. eBay/paypal/amazon there is no such option.

Advertise to the whole world, or advertise to people in your neighborhood. :noidea:

I have quite a few stealth accounts and I always start of with listing 100 or 200 low value DVDs CDs and computer games all under £5 each give it a week or two wait until their is some feedback and then list as much as I want and i list quick so with in a month I hav lifted my 10k limit and that have moved it to 25k . All depends on what your selling and how much . I only have trouble with my accounts if a few people open cases as item not received as we all no with eBay their is a lot of buyers that buy it one day and want in within 2 days Royal Mail are not always that quick .
