How fast to increase sales?

[Hrad]

Hi, my question is quite simple: How fast should I increase sales (money flowing into Paypal, without getting limited)

I hear that on new accounts it's quite safe to do $200 a week. After about a month or so, how much can the account handle? $400? $600? $1000? I just have no idea, yet I read about some people being power sellers on their 3 or 4 month old account.

So what would you guys say is an ok amount to take in every week as the account gets older? Right now I have a 3 week old account and I can do around $300 without a problem.

Thanks for any help!

It also depends on how much you are w/d at a time. For my business, I have buyers lined up so I send them invoices. On a brand new paypal, only 1 day old I sent an invoice to my buyer. Was for $400. Paid within an hour and took me about 4 days to w/d to my bank. No problem But on a diff paypal, I sent an invoice and tried w/d all the money got slapped with a limitation quickly!

Thanks for the input transitionfighter. I'm not really planning on withdrawing big amounts though (not yet anyway) so I only fear getting limited for taking in money.

Anyone else?

Most of the time you won't get limited on the money that is coming into the account. The problem is when you attempt to withdraw the funds. If the account is working good at $300 a week then I would gradually move it up. Don't have a drastic jump in sales otherwise that could draw unwanted attention to your account.

Exactly...what you want to do is also find nice transitions and SCHEDULE w/d from accounts.

I do it so the PP system LEARNS what I am going to do. In fact, you WANT them to know!

I do around 50 usd DAILY, getting about 200 per week/per account. So I w/d Mon-Thurs and PP knows that...you are safe to increase this at even higher amounts AS TIME GOES ON OF COURSE

This may sound like alot but I usually do about $400-$500 a day after I get 20 dsrs.

Really? How old are your accounts at that point?

On my original first (now suspended) account I was able to do maybe $600 a day, but it was over a year old and with a long selling history. It still got limited, but for supplier info.

As Long as you have an account that can list 100 items a month that's all you need, most of mine were over 90 days old when I'd start selling and I'd get 20 dsrs and start selling $500 a day within the first week but even on the new accounts with 10 items or $500 per month limit you could still easily do $500 in 1 or 2 days and then move on to another one.
