Two nicely aged accounts
 

Hi, i managed to get my hands on some very nicely aged accounts. One is nearly 5 years old but with only 1 transaction on it, another one from 2009 with 7 feedback.

I've noticed alot of top sellers got accounts dating back to 2005 even if their just starting it up now. Any tips on not screwing this up? Start slow? very slow? use a fresh paypal?

Very nice!

Defo start slow when it comes to selling, also try to avoid selling any VERO items at the start if you planning to do so that is, they got old paypals on them too? if so, i don't see why starting up a new paypal would be needed, as you'll have to go through a bigger hassle of limits/addresses.

Look after them bro!

I have an ebay account from 2001, seems to have been reset, it did have about 100 transactions, weird.

well i noticed i had my initial account which I genuinely used just to buy a few things, it was about 2 years old and I was able to sell 3,000$in a week before even getting suspended. Ofcourse I won't be doing that but with new accounts i typically get suspended the first day. So hopefully ill be able to sell alot more for longer, as long as I go slow.

would makign a new paypal hurt the accounts credibility? I dont want to link it with any other accounts

you can make a new paypal if you do not have one associated with the accounts.

if you are selling then just use the paypal for withdrawing and not buying. pay ebay fees with a gift card if you can get one.
.
other then that list casual items and try and list used items if you can.

Take EXTRA care of these accounts. Don't sell something that will ruin them. If you new to this game i suggest you save these accounts and practice with other ones first.

That is solid advice!

You are lucky mate, take good care of these accounts, these are good asset.
sell casual used items to test it first, get away from veros or any product that may harm the accounts, Listen to loophole, practice with other ones first if needed
Best of luck

All very good tips - operate these accounts as you would any NEW seller account. Don't go just thinking the age will protect you from standard eb blocking policies.
