Constant fear of suspension
So I discovered this form back in 2019.
I wasn't suspended, but, I did the whole pre-order drop shipping thing, PayPal locked up my money when I made 20K out of nowhere, noob mistake, I didn't know any better, I had to cancel tons of orders, and bam, below average seller.
The Ebay account wasn't even under my name or validated, and the PP account was under my Wife's name, which I settled with PP.
I had bought the Stealthbook and created some stealth accounts, but never got around to selling again and moved on in my life.
Anyways, I came back in late 2021, very similar concept, I take the money given up front and go source local inventory (computers) and flip them.
I move around 20K+ in inventory a month.
I started out with a fresh account, moved my own inventory, waited the 90 days, etc, to get the money up front.
I've technically been on Ebay for 8+ months now.
I have longer handling times due to my strategy as-well.
I've been doing the past 3 months of around 15K-20K+ pretty steady.
Tons of great reviews, very little returns, etc etc.
In November 2021 3 months into when I first started, after making 15K that month with all the money up-front, I had a 'periodic performance review', I passed, I recently got another today, and of-course, the worse thoughts come to my mind, even when I know its probably nothing.
I've noticed another seller who does very similar things to what I do, stopped selling, and later on, a month or two later, another username with the same Photos started to sell the same inventory again.
I also noticed that basically ALL the sellers that I used to know of back in 2019 are gone.
Do you think its results of suspensions? Or do you think the sellers left for other reasons?
Anyways, I'm constantly in fear of suspension, I'm pretty on the up-and-up, everyone makes mistakes, but I do a solid job IMO.
Do you guys think I'm destined to eventually get suspended due to the nature of what I do?
Do you think its possible to maintain a business like this where you're using funds from the purchase to buy inventory?
In the event I was banned, do you think that Stealth accounts are capable of pulling this off?
I have to provide for my wife with Cancer, I have other avenues I can go down, I enjoy Ebay quite allot, but don't want to be blindsided or spend my time building something for it to go down the toilet.
That anxious feeling I get with every review is enough to make me want to go back to what I used to do.
Hoping some people kick me some knowledge.
Thanks. |
