How long to wait before listing my normal items on eBay stealth?

[ozseller]

I'm trying to plan everything out before I actually create this stealth account, I'm trying to do it as perfectly as possible.

I plan to make the eBay account as a business one from the start, which means it wouldn't really be suitable to list small used items to 'warm up' the account? I don't dropship, the stock is held in my warehouse in Australia, I'm just wondering if it's okay to just get right into it and list my items as soon as I complete the sign-up (link verified PayPal, etc.)

Any suggestions or help is appreciated. Cheers!

Why not? There are plenty of legitimate businesses both online and brick and mortar that sell low cost used items.

I'm not sure if it would be seen as suspicious if for the first week a business sold used clothes and books, then moved to high volume mass produced mobile accessories.

Another question, the stealth PayPal that I plan to link got past ID verification with creative ID (it was flagged because I used NordVPN). It it possible to keep going with the account using mobile hotspot, or should it just be ditched.

Just feel a bit of accomplishment getting past the ID check haha
