Does A Ebay Shop raise flag??
 

Hello,

I have my stealth account since June 2011 with about 89 Feedback.

I have a selling restriction of 85 Items and 3000€ per Month, which is fine.

I was wondering opening up a basic ebay store so my items can stay on ebay for longer than 10 days.

will thiss cause more risk getting a flag?

right now i am not accepting paypal, will this remain when i open up a ebay shop?

thank you!

Why are you thinking of opening a store, the 10 day limit may be for your product, the product I sell I can have 30 days on buy it now and with a store you can auto relist until you run out of product.

Isn't an eBay store going to require for you to accept PayPal?
I think it will. You definitely going to have to have a cc on file
to cover your monthly store fee.
US eBay lets you lit for longer periods of time even if you don't have a
store but I am very much familiar with ebay.de and I know they do
not.

Good Luck

so if i open up a ebay shop will i have to accept paypal??

please answer!

Yes you will and no it doesn't raise flags

Unless you are selling VERO or Foo-Foo

Then just forget it

:nerd:

i'm running 2 st ealth's on the side right now with 80 item limit a month ea............i can't list any more than 10 days at a time for each item.

i opened a store for both...cost 16.00 a month, but you save on listing fee's.....50 cents per item without a store vs 20 cents per item with a store.....i have no auctions, just buy it now.

i now list my items as gtc {good till cancelled}...works perfect for me....i don't have to contantly check to see when a item isn't relisted.......its there always.


the problem i have is....when i list an item and say i have 5 available......that 5 available counts towards your item limit.

so i usually say i have 2 of this item available........that lets me list 40 items with 2 available each. if i sell 2 of the same item fast, i have to wait till the next review before it gets relisted again unless you revise a different item to the items that you just sold...it suc ks, but i find myself shuffling them around like this to keep the fast selling items alive.
Of course i'm still figureing out what items sell more than others but it switches all the time on most.

without a store, i was able to drop listings and it was added to my number available to sell..........worked nice but only 10 days again and 50 cent listing with b. i. n.

with a store....if you drop a listing......it dont add to number available to sell....you lose it....done that..did that twice( had to know for sure)...won't do that again tho.

I don't hink it would draw a flag..

I got a cc from dollar store a visa ....25.00.................i put it on file at eb ay and all was just fine.. then i used it to fill my gastank(well, give my car a swallow anyway)

been about 3-4 months now i think...not a problem

i accept paypal...always have from day 1

since e bay wants a cc on file.....i don't think you would have to accept pay pal for service......i'm not 100% sure on that tho so maybe some else will give you that direct answer.


good luck



p.s review in a few days.........crossing my fingers for more more moooooore items

Thanks for good info!
