Where is SAX4?

It sounds like selling used items is not easy.

i got a buddy who has a sellers account he only sold like 3 or 4 things and has a 725 listing limit and 25000 a month $ limit. he's the type of person who will sell anything! especially when he's hard up for money. I can most likely buy his account from him. I'm just not sure what to offer him for it. i was thinking a couple hundred.

just got to figure out when i get paid how its going to work going into my bank under his name! i was thinking maybe i could make it a business account then the deposits would come in as a business name

Seriously though..... use paragraphs, such a pain to read this.

Here's my advice to you.

1. REPORT anyone sending you DM offering you services or accounts. Those are scams.

2. Go to the forum's marketplace and find a seller to buy your accounts.

3. Make your own accounts as well at the same time.

This way you can start selling right away and you have back ups. You got both scenarios covered.



About buying your friend's account, a few things:

You're gonna use your own VPN and computer right? This will trigger a flag on eBay at times.

and lastly, if I have a selling account with good feedback, high limit and long history and a friend offered me a few "hundred" US dollars, I'd laugh at his face and most likely we won't be friends anymore.

PS: Sorry about that twat of a buyer.... you're in the gaming category, it's full of bottom feeding kids who lives in their mom's basement at the age of 30

Don't buy his account until you get a good business model going and under stand how platforms like eb and mp work

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

I ended up buying my buddy's account for 100 bucks. Has 700 item listing and 35k a month $ limit. It will be good enough for me 😀 and I've been useing ebay since 99 and was doing stealth accounts back in 03 lol I would literally buy a visa gift card and use another person info that screwed me over on ebay and ebay thought we was the same person 😆 and banned both of us. It was the perastoric era for ebay and stealth.

I understand well how ebay works! Ebays moto is "The buyer is always right" and they screw all the sellers over. Ebays so busy trying to be like Amazon and force returns on everything screwing over alot of sellers. The I learned about ebay is "You never sell anything that you can't afford to lose" which is why I sell 2nd hand **** that I get for dirt cheap.

I use Facebook MP for anything high in value and mercari.

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

I dont mind if buyer wants to return the item,as long as it is returned in same condition as sold,what I dont like is paying for return shipping.
If we buy an item from a physical store .do they send someone to pick up the return?or we have to go to the store ?

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

Yeah ebay trying to be like Amazon. Making sellers pay for returns is BULLSHlT. I use mercari to sell on as well and they are so much better then ebay on returns. Mercari u get only 3 days to return then when buyers return stuff they cover shipping not you the seller!
Ebay gives buyers 30days to use your **** and return it on your dime. I'm hoping one day something better comes along and wipes ebay out!

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

O no I don't need a VPN I got a backup phone useing a GOV sim and never was used for ebay. So I got on his wifi sign into ebay then put it in 5g. It's all good to go now! I also bought his chime account for $50 so I got his chime card to cash out. He never uses it anyway he said last time he use chime was in 2022.

And u said for me to make multiple ebay accounts. How would this work when u setup a sellers account they want your social number. Your ID. And a real photo of you to match the ID! Or so they did all this when I used my gfs account.

My personal account got banned cause i had made another account from my gfs address under my name years ago and paypal limited me so I ditched the account and never paid the seller fees and they banned it. And years later I had to add a phone number to ebay for them to call me and I forgot and used the same number that was on that banned account and the cock suckers linked me and banned me instantly! Now when I call them they said I have been banned indefinitely. Sucks cause I would pay the fees to get my account back. Have almost 2k in fb. I haven't tried making a new account under my info I figuerd they would just link me if they want ssn and id's and ****.

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

I used to ask myself every night why EBay wants everyone to sell so no one makes any money?
Is EBay trying to sell us a credit card so it can earn fees>No.
Is Ebay trying to sell us insurance ,NO,Whitman,a HARVARD MBA think she can get powersellers health insurance,but the insurance industry said NO way,your power sellers are a bunch of individuals of all color and sizes,there is no way to underwrite a group policy,shows you Harvard did not teach common sense.
I give up and move to Etsy.

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

i haven't tried Esty i heard of it. isnt it a site to sell arts and craft stuff like stuff u make at home. not sure if u can sell 2nd hand retro stuff there

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

Etsy allows vintage and antiques years ago,go take a look.

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

$100 .... I just picked up my jaw from the floor, you're lucky.

Hope youread the stealth guide for best practices,?

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

You have to go to the store unless it's a big item like kitchen appliance etc

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

Yeah he really don't use ebay much his self only sold a few things on it. I told him when he needs to sell something send me the description and pics and I will list for him so he can still basicly use the account kinda.


And I haven't read that stealth guide in many many years. Probly since 2011 or 12.

Re: Getting back in the stealth game. pls advise.
 

You can try listing them on Etsy,listing fee is 20 cents for 3 months,FVF I believe is now 5%(was 3%) plus cc fee.
Beware of Google search fee,if a buyer comes to look at your item via Google search and end up buying the item within x number of days,you pay a hefty Google fee.
Try listing a few,you have nothing to lose ,20 cents good for 3 months!
I have sold a few used items I dont need like old Roku player,digital scale.
