I just bought an eBay account. What next?
 

Bought an eBay account off Craigslist.
The person I bought it from lives in the same state, in a city about 30 - 40 minutes away.
They deleted all the info (cc & pp) and changed all the info to generic names like 'no name' and an address like '101 whatever lane'
How do I proceed? The account hasn't been used in over a year and a half, so I don't think logging in from a new IP will seem too suspicious (that's a lot of time for someone to move/get a new comp etc)
I currently have an eBay & PP account in good standing, so I was wondering if I should just change everything to my real info?
I don't know them very well so I don't want to put their real info back on the account in case anything happens..

What next? I am going to cry.



You pay no attention to any advice you have been given here. Go read replies to other posts of yours. You cheerily pay no attention then come back with another method DOOMED to fail.


You are trying something that will not work long term.

That person selling the account, changing ALL the info has flagged the account.
Next time anything happens, ebay is going to react.

So why would you consider changing info again to this good account you claim to have?

What is happening to you that you will not understand this?:doh:

how much did you pay for this wonderful account?

BUY THE STEALTH BOOK!!!!!

I paid 40 bucks. I am reading the stealth guide right now.

I plan to be very, very safe. Bending over backwards so no one leaves a neg. feedback.

I'm not shipping from China anymore, if this other dropshipper I want to work with comes through.

I have already logged in from my real ip, so it's either I leave the info as is and hope eBay doesn't care (I will be paying A LOT in FVF if everything goes according to plan) OR change it to my real info and just slowly start using the account.

Or maybe I should just let it go :/
It has no selling limits though and is super aged.
I guess I could go back to my real account and take up an offer I got for feedback building.
I have been selling steadily lately so I don't think eBay will detect it.

:eek:

if? if? might as well just start writing your next thread entitled "suspended again, what did i do wrong?"

id be worried about anything i bought off craigslist. an ebay account id be extremely worried

I know I checked into everything first.
No selling limits, 7 years old.
He had no idea what it was really worth and he offered it to me for 40 bucks

Whenever a user says that, a thousand kittens cry.

ebay DETECTS everything a user does not want them to detect.:doh:

On craiglist? :faint: Of course he did. Onsellers of these accounts trap noobs.

I was the one that posted the ad looking for ebay accounts.

I know i'm in a crap position, but could you tell me what the best I can make out of it is?

I'm sorry buddy, but you are a total tool.

Forget about that account and call it a loss and move on with more intelligent moves in the future :pop2:

No selling limits and 7 years old for 40 bucks?


I have 1000 - 5 year old accounts with no limits and I would like to have 10.00 each for them if you take them all.

:eek::eek::eek::eek:


:pop2:

Did you buy this account before or after becoming a member here?

I hope it was before you became a member here because if it was after then you need to just stop selling on ebay and do something else.

Removed all the info? Are you really kidding me?

The bolded area above tells me you have no clue and need to stop, read the book and spend tons of hours on this board learning before you do anything.

Willing to link a real account in good standing to a poc account that someone suckered you for amazes me in itself.

Is a no-selling limit meaningless? how and when does one find out the limit?

First thing I thought was... OMG you just bought a phised account.... Run Run Run!

While we are add it.... You know all brand name dropshipper products from China are ⊗⊗⊗⊗? right?

The truth is you will get limited at some point nomatter what kind of account you got. So you just have to hope you get by and you should save the old information and have a good explanation hoping nothing will happen of why you changed the old information. I really don't know why ebay lets you change all the information the accounts if they limit them for any reason.

-Wrong Thread-

It was meant to be a joke.

Selling limits. Have you never sold on an account? Once you list something you will know you limits.

haha woww...this made my night sorry it was at your expense. I mean I know craigslist might be ok to buy very few things from but seriously a ebay account let alone for $40 and all the other red flags come on man

lol, broskie this reminds me of me like 4months man was it hard! all you gota do is change ur ip and wait a month and bam u got a spankin new acc!
