hitting limits on a stealth account - types of items to list

tryingtofigurethisout · #1 08-31-2012

Is ANYTHING branded considered a high risk item?

Like a pair of Nike shoes - would that be a high risk item? Versus a pad of paper.

Not sure if you guys have heard of 'cards against humanity' card game, but I have some that I want to sell on my new stealth but I'm afraid of it being high risk. I'm almost positive they're not VERO.

Indeed anything that is Branded "could be" considered high risk, for the most part...anything that is copied, duplicated, f@ked is high risk, also items that cost a lot.

Never heard of that specific card game, When it comes to VERO the Rights Owner can shut you down if they desire at any time. Your going to have to test out your luck.

My stealth account is 30+ days old, only 1 week old for selling. I have a 100 item limit and just want to list some of my customized apparel. If I get close to hitting the limits, do you think the account will be closed? Keep in mind it's nothing high-risk. Custom designed $10 t-shirts.

No your account won't be closed, you just won't be allowed to sell past your limits. Keep in mind that hitting your limits without any problems (MC999, ETC) will help raise limits as you keep high DSR's etc.

Great. so even selling t-shirts as buy it now will be okay? I heard to wait on buy it now auctions for over a month. but I guess seeing as these are basically NO risk items, that's ok?

MM78 · #6 08-31-2012

You don't have to wait to list but you do have to build some "browsing" history on the account..sorta like window shopping only online. I usually log into my ebay account, search for random items, look at my account, watch a few items, etc.

Who ever told you to wait a Month was wrong. Are these T-Shirts your own design or Branded?

tryingtofigurethisout · #7 08-31-2012

so I guess the problem would be listing 30 HIGH RISK items. that would be bad

MM78 · #8 08-31-2012

Yeah, 30 high risk items would be bad.

I advise to wait a month before doing BIN. Which is correct as 7 day 99 cent auctions builds the accounts up better then BIN as BIN isn't considered selling slow.

Saying I'm wrong doesn't make sense to me and then they go do something else then I have to deal with it.

that's what I've been doing. but I need income for my family and can't hang around for 30 days without much :(

I think I need more accounts.

slim jim · #11 08-31-2012

more accounts definitely helps. counting on 1 is never a good idea, things happen, mistakes happen. might as well grow a few accounts for down the road so that you do not have this problem in the future. oge was one of the first to help me out here and so far so good but i have also been very patient

Custom designed might still get a 2nd glance.

Clothing is known to trip the bots.

Custom design usually gets seen by ebay as branded...

All it will take is one member of the ebay police to report the listing of customised apparel. And we know that is just what they do.

The account has come under unwarranted scrutiny.

oge · #14 08-31-2012

Yes you need more accounts but doing something to get suspended will put you right back to square 1 which would be worse. I hooked you up the best I could with fb, 30 + days etc. Please consider more accounts as an alternative even if you make them yourself because to keep selling you have to have more then 1 account or when you get suspended you will be back to square 1!

Good luck!

couldn't have said it better myself

Some get removed some dont its all random. If you list your nikes as USED they would never be removed, but if you list them new its very possible.

WOAH! You said elsewhere you had that game taken down. SO why risk listing it on a new account?

If an item has a 'NAME', it has a high chance of having what is called an IP owner. (Intellectual Property). Therefore items may be looked at more closely.

This is where YOU have to be very careful. Branded goods, even used, can flag accounts.

In the old days, we always suggested to new sellers to WAIT.

Much safer to go slowly and do a little here, a little there.
Absolutely for sure, browse, surf, play.
But hurry to list, not for me.

It's preferable given that the account we are talking about came from the forum. Sellers give recommendations to their buyers.

We must avoid being counter-productive, even with the best intentions.

I never said that...

I said I had another VERO item removed (beach body products).

Then what am I suppose to do for income right now? :( Guess that's up to me to figure out lol. Buying more accounts won't help for this moment. Will help for the long run though. Guess I better get crackin'

Why don't you buy an aged account with lots of feedback.......

Getting a brand new account will take you ages as you have mentioned
