Hi everyone,
I would like to share my methods which are currently working for me and my tactics I use in terms of listing items up and so on.
So I created an account in my real name date of birth and an address I recently lived at.
I actually added a bank and listed an item straight away. No browsing or faffing about straight to business.
My limits were 100/3500. Very happy with those limits.
I listed a gym flat bench on this account for around £30. I didn’t own the gym flat bench I just wanted to see if it would list. It’s a test I do on all accounts.
The listing sold after a long 7 day auction think it sold for about £60.
Once the listing sold I waited 2hrs before cancelling order just to make sure eBay don’t send me “we couldn’t verify account message” After 2 hours I cancelled the listing.
Once the listing was sold this is when eBay sends deposits to your account and it normally arrives 3 days later. I put the deposits into the account and all were verified.
Depending on limits will depend on what I list. Example would be if the account only got 10/650 limits I would list a £10 toy after deposits are confirmed I always wait for deposits to be confirmed. A month later I will ask for a selling increase and I succeed in this part.
If my limits are 100/3500 I would list a risky item up after deposits are confirmed. When risky item sells I wait a few hours before posting order again by passing that “we couldn’t verify your account” message as this hits 30 mins to 2hrs after item sold. If you post in that time frame you get back from post office and find out you get that horrible red banner. So I always wait a few hours after sale before posting the item.
I print label off using PayPal check out as a guest and using a revolut disposable card as soon as customer receives item eBay payment is processed to my bank in the evening and will arrive next day before 12.
Only when payout is scheduled to be paid into my account. I will then list again on that account. This is because in the passed I have listed a few items one has sold been posted another sold and boom message from eBay again and accounts gets suspended. Well not this time eBay
So far this account hasn’t turned over the £1000-£2000 threshold but if it does reach this point and eBay have not asked for any proof of ID then this means eBay have fully verified your account information at registration which is what this is all about long term success not short term success.
I have many other accounts with different set ups and a couple of accounts are at the £1000 threshold.
So far in my new eBay managed payment set up I have gone further than I have ever done before.
I really hope this post can help some members out with account set ups. This is what I’ve been doing and it’s been working for me.
