Am I raising any flags on my account?
 

Alright, i've got a business verified paypal account about 4 months old. I've done about 2500$ in purchases through it. It is attached to two credit cards and a corporate bank account, also has my business number on file and a phone.

Ebay is a little older then that, 15 positive buying feedback in the last year. I have two items for sale right now, they are a vintage audio part I have in my collection, not vero items at all (in fact most of the brands dont even exist any more).

The ebay is phone verified, just recently made it a sellers account. The two items I listed will end for somewhere in the range of 10-25$. I purchased a lot of similar items on ebay.de to import and resell in north america. Unfortunately I need 25 feedback before I can sell on international sites, and to get good value on my auctions I REALLY need them to show up in ebay USA. My account is canadian.

My plan is to get 10 more buying feedback asap, like this week. I'll try to buy some items I need, laser toner, mouse, cd or two but i'm also planning on buying some cheap items like iphone accessories to get my fb up. so about 10 items in 5 days.

Once I have 25 items up i'll start listing 1 or two items a day from my audio gear, it will be mostly 25-50$ items but there is about 5 or so that should sell for 200-300.

after that I hope to use my ebay to sell 1 item a day or so. Some vero some not, but vero items will only be one a month or so. I have had an ebay account in the past, I think I had the same address as I presently do but other info ⊗⊗⊗⊗ and that was 2 years ago or so.

I also have two addresses on file right now, my home address and the address of a friend in germany who was helping me import the items from ebay.de.

Anything I should change to avoid flags?

Don't know why you have the address in Germany on file - just for ebay.de?

Other than that, looks like you have thought this through well - just try to avoid sudden spikes. The paypal withdrawal is also random limitation hit - I am unfamiliar with audio category though.

Well, some of the products i've been purchasing are available only within germany. If I try to bid on the item it says "this item is not available to your area" or something along those lines. So I added the address of my friend who is receiving the packages for me as an address on ebay.

Ah ok - that could be complicated if you get hit with limitation. Other than that, you seem to be set. Nothing to do right now otherwise.

I agree your account sounds pretty solid. Just go slow with the sales initially like rsot mentioned, and don't have a spike of too much money coming in at one time.. PayPal doesn't like that.

Nice and slow wins the race..

You might also want to think about selling with multiple accounts.

Good luck!
