Trying to sell a $1500 computer
Last year I was in the business of selling unlocked iPhones. I sold 20 or so phones and out of those, two of them filed chargebacks claiming they didn't receive the phones. I had signature confirmation tracking and provided that to eBay/PayPal and both times, PayPal paid using their seller protection policy. After this they limited my account because I was "too high" of a risk, even after 10 years of business.
I have a $1500 computer I am trying to sell at the moment. I've tried Craigslist and even placing ads in the newspaper to no avail, but looking on eBay's completed items list (made up an account with completely ⊗⊗⊗⊗ information and didn't verify it) I see the computer could sell for that $1500 on eBay. So basically, I need to use eBay but I'm not sure how.
If I create an eBay account now using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ information, or even if I ask a relative who doesn't have an eBay account for permission to use their name, I'm worried that it's not going to look right - selling a $1500 computer on the same day the account is opened. And I'm worried PayPal will hold the money for 180 days, which absolutely cannot happen. (Basically, I am selling my primary computer so I can upgrade, and the computer I'm going to use after I sell this one, and until I purchase my new one, will be the shared family computer.)
I'm thinking I should maybe purchase an eBay account here but I thought I'd ask for some advice. Thanks in advance!
