Run & gun method
 

So, I have been studying over the Ebay Stealth Book lately, and I am seeing from the forum that ebay still asks for an ID. Is there a certain period when they ask? To my knowledge, why wouldn’t it be better to run & gun (push a higher selling limit) VS aging a ACC that is eventually going to get clipped when the ID time comes.

Or maybe I’m missing something with the ID… (if so please reach out and point right direction)

What do you mean exactly by run and gun?

Also most selling account don't just get a high selling limit. Plus if you just sell too much too fast, they'll nail you too.

I prefer a long lasting account. But I'm sure others will chime in.

i think what i’m trying to say best is, if I do stealth accounts which have separate names, I have no ID to verify account & Ebay is going to ask eventually one day . So wouldn’t it be best to get as many sales in a short period of time ? Maybe like 1000 a month , & then just repeat process when day comes. Or is it possible to make long lasting Ebay accounts without ever being asked for a ID. Also doing business accounts so super high limit out the jump.

They will ask for ID before you get anywhere near a high number if sales

It's just standard now

There is no preset limit on the ID request it depends on the account activity. Selling lots in a short period of time will trigger it

I see what you're saying.

Another alternative I think is buying an account? The marketplace has a seller that sells both UK and USA accounts, I'd recommend DMing her and see if it's a good fit for you?

Thank you guys so much!

High limits mean absolutely nothing. If you create a new account and sold 1,000 items the first month, you'd probably see MC011 after around 100-200 of those items sold. You'll never get 1,000+ on a new account. Unless its some category I'm unaware of, it's not based on common sense, you have to understand how the algorithms assume risk.

You are asking questions that an algorithm is designed to detect.

it's weird that a seller "sells" us and uk accounts. I wonder who that should be reported to...

Re: Run & gun method
 

I dont think it's about the amount of transactions but rather the dollar amount and how fast does your revenue increases over the first 3 month.

It can be a combination of things i think, timing, type of products, time of year, etc
