How important is feedback?

[skilf]

I have 5 stealth accounts now, two of which are coming up to a month in age so I am planning to start selling again real soon. I have not really had much activity on these accounts and no feedback. I have a couple of small bits from around the house to sell (not much though) to get a bit of initial feedback, and then I am planning to sell branded boots, shirts, dresses etc and make some $$$!

Obviously I have read through the whole stealth guide and am aware of the boundaries but I was just wondering if I started small, say maybe selling 2 or 3 vero items on each new account per week, would that be ok to start with, even though I have no feedback or am I likely to get suspended?

From my 8month experience.. i find that accounts that start out with no feedback are more likely to get hit than those with feedback. But its up to you.

What i did was get some stupid ipod leads & sold those to build up to 20 dsr, then sneaked in the VERO. I know that going from ipod lead > to high risk VERO isn't a good idea, but if you do it slowly, it can work.

I've found accounts on eBay with ZERO feedback are a tough sale - even just 10 feedbacks goes a long way.
