Selling items you once sold on old acct
 

I know you can not use the same verbage in the title and description or the same picture...but can I even sell the same items at all...say at the time of my suspension I had 20 different dvds & video games for sale. Could I list those all again or would it be suspicious (provided I change the wording and pictures) Thanks for any advice

I wouldnt, but maybe I'm too neurotic by now.
Sell one ,sell it out ,list the other one.Better safe then sorry.

Time of my suspension? You have had problems before? Change the auctions complete - spread to different accounts.

I'd advise against this because it's still too similar. Then again I mean there are thousands upon thousands of sellers on eB, a lot of them are selling the same things. I would not list those same 20 or even 10 items on one account. I'd spread those sales over 4 accounts and pick 5 titles for each and match them up, DVDs to 2 accounts and video games to the other 2. Spread the time of listings too.

I'm saying all this like it's a piece of cake..it won't be. For DVD and video game sales you'll need some time to age the accounts. It'll take a day to make a stealth account, a month for browsing history and feedback for all accounts and probably another couple months to actually get any profit back. In total probably 3-4 months to get each account on its feet and to become an asset.

As already said, just take it easy and spread the load over various accounts and should be ok.
