is it safe?

This is the second month of using my stealth account. I've sold 6 items and received 4 positive feedback no negs or neutrals. E bay has bumped me up to where I can now sell 20 items or $2000 whichever comes first. My question is am I ok to list my old laptop up for sale? It's an older laptop with 2gb of ram. or should I wait 2 more months before listing it? thanks in advance

How high of a value would you say your old laptop is worth? The big ramp up in money coming in from the sale could cause an issue - and the fact that it's electronic. How old is the laptop?

Anything electronic specially computers are risky.

Why not sell it on craigslist or so?

Yeah, and? You won't be getting a paypal claim opened against you in 6 months from the guy on craigslist.

Ebay has a category ,cant remember the exact name,but it is for parts and salvage and buyers cant file INAD,some sellers will sell their working electronics there.
But buyers can still file INAD with Paypal and their cc issuer

Only if you're an idiot, would you invite someone to your house for such things. something big, sure. Anything you'd sell on ebay, you meet literally anywhere else but your house.

9 years old the value at auction will probably go from $40-$60 bucks if that.

Electronics on a new account with low feedback? A scammers paradise.

What if the buyer takes your laptop, get their money back and leave you feedback like this:

I'd wait another month or so - I don't think it's worth risking the account just yet for 40-60 bucks item that's electronic.

9 year old laptop should be ok though - lot of old laptops for sale at the moment - detail your listing well, take good pics, no stock photos.
