Starting selling on aged eBay buyer account. Avoiding suspension.
 

Hi guys. I am starting a couple of new stealth selling eBay accounts now using old buyer profiles (all on real documents). I recently got my account suspended after 1 month of selling. Made about 25 sales with 3 listings active. I was suspended while listing a new listing (after I uploaded the product video in the listing). Also, I added about 2-3 quantities to the existing listings. There was an item limit, but I used about 38/50 items limit, so I guess that was the problem. All items are very cheap, not VERO.
I have a few years of stealing experience (with 2 accounts), so it's clearly just an activity-based ban (not linking).

Now I have another 2 accounts (individual accounts) with 100 & 200 items limit. These are aged for a few years (with purchases) and bought some items with them recently too. My questions:

1) How many items approx. listings can I do on these accounts? I still have 1-3 listings and am afraid to add more.
2) Can I add product videos to the listing or it's a red flag?
3) I have a few professionally designed listings photos with Photoshop. Can I list those items or only after 90 days? I ship all items myself.
4) How MANY items in the first 90 days can I ACTUALLY SELL in a month if I have a 100 or 200 items limit? Do you think it is not worth having more than 3 listings active or selling more than 15 items with those limits on these accounts?
5) Other recommendations for activity-based suspensions

Thank you very much for your answer. It means a lot to me.
I am from Ukraine 🇺🇦 and eBay was my only source of income.

You mean stealthing experience, not stealing right?

1. sell 1 item, ship fast, get a positive feedback, sell another item, rinse and repeat then increase selling to 2or 3 items, repeat.

2. Yes you can

3. What do you mean pro designed? Brand name items?

4. Look at #1

5. Go slow, be fast, be disciplined, don't cut corners, READ THE STEALTH GUIDE, MASTER the stealth guide, be patient and treat this like a business and not some quick cash grab.

Sure, "stealthing", stupid auto-correction, sorry.
1) I ship internationally, so the shipping time is usually 1-2 weeks.
2) I get many sales because items are usually mobile accessories under $15 and in high demand. So I am just raising prices for some to cut sales.
3) I actually very rarely get any feedback at all, maybe 1 in 20 transactions.
4) I mean just items not with regular item photos but rather illustrated with graphics (different icons, artwork). I've read somewhere that the listing should not look professionally designed when you just starting out. No brands.

5) Yes, I will try to go slow but it seems like there is no exact answer of how actually slow. Waiting 3 months to get the working account when it's your only source of income, it's a long time… And getting 5-10 sales per month with cheap items when you have 200 item limit. Is it really needed? That's the real question.



But I really appreciate your answer.
I was too naive not to build a backup selling account. And now my main stealth account was restricted.

Let me ask you this, do you want to learn and have a long lasting accounts that'll sell a lot eventually or do you want to keep burning accounts?

Do it right and you'll be rewarded.

several hundred USD per month and 5-20 items would do it
