Starting a new account from scratch
 

Using a friend's information.

Starting a new user account on my laptop.

Internet connection via Hotspot off my Cricket(ATT) mobile phone

Before I start the account I'm going to spend the day browsing to build a cookie history. Is 24 hours enough time?

After that I'll start the account. I'm going to make small purchases through the next 2 weeks to build feedback. I sell Real Estate certificates that average $150-$200. So I need feedback before I start selling. Is 2 weeks an enough time?

Thanks,
Brandon

buying cheap items , opening a seller account , starting to sell expensive items

ebay would probably put you down within a few days

Re: Starting a new account from scratch
 

2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years ... if you're selling wares which ebay don't like they you'll get suspended regardless of how mature the account is.

Any form of messing about with cookies and making pointless little purchases on a new account will have no positive impact whatsoever.

Reading your other posts I suspect you already know this.

I've done it successfully many times. I sell Real Estate certificates. The auctions start at $1. Not sure if that's a factor. I'm not going to list the higher valued ones at first. Going to start slow. Building eBay accounts is a very slow process through these methods. I'm building cookies thru browsers on new User Accounts on my computer right now.

I only list 6 auctions per week max. And usually only 3 close. All start at a $1 and usually end between $150-$250. That's the range I'm going to target at the beginning of this run.

But I need feedback to sell Real Estate certificate. Real Estate isn't eligible for MP or PP. Only Check or Money Order.

I don't sell Wares. Only Real Estate certificates. eBay charges me $75 per auction. Very expensive.

I only need the feedback to sell the Real Estate certificates. No one wants to bid on these with a 0 feedback Seller. I've been doing this since 1999. Once had an account with over 1,000 feedback. I only need 10 and I can make sales. Not trying to get feedback for any eBay verification purposes.

All the accounts I'm building are through friends. Have their permissions and am involving them by paying them proceeds from my sales. All have ID verifications if or when the time comes.

Really hoping I can achieve a stable consistent eBay account with the help of you guys. I really appreciate you and thank you for existing.

If you're doing it successfully and within ebays listing policy, why are you burning through accounts?

Re: Starting a new account from scratch
 

Bought items for feedback. Never been suspended for that. Except for maybe this last one. Still not sure why it was suspended though.

Re: Starting a new account from scratch
 

what was the last one you bought?

I wouldn’t recommend buying items to build feedback it’s not even recommended in the stealth guide.

If you need feedback sell cheap items as 3 or 7 day auctions.

Re: Starting a new account from scratch
 

This is what will happen eBay bots know what you’re trying to do once you buy cheap items to build feedback it’s a red flag and eBay bots will suspend your account.

It’s not recommended when trying to build feedback.

Re: Starting a new account from scratch
 

It's been said on here that buyer feedback is worthless and no longer shown as part of a sellers feedback profile and why it's no longer peddled as a means of fabricating an aged look on an account.

Can anyone confirm this is true, I wouldn't know for sure.

Buyer feedback has no place on the sellers feedback profile - you're right Hank
