Minimum waiting time for a new account before you list
 

Well i have always used some what old account before i list my item on ebay but i need to know whats the minimum waiting time

Is there a mandatory wait time ?

i have listed after 1 week before , need to know if they will allow me to list after 2 days of creating new account ?

That's fine; there is no ""mandatory wait time". 1 second after registering is fine also.

You can list right away however I believe that the sooner you list, the higher chance of scrutiny

I actually have more problems when I wait a few days or more after registering; I often get an MC067 asking me to upload proof of identity, but never do when I list immediately.

Do not listen to Elijah's advice, listing items with slight risks will get you suspended right away. The safest period to sell item with risks is a month from my personal experience, when that little yellow "new member" icon next to your name disappears. Low risk items like screen protectors can be sold as soon as a few days after registration, but I would avoid selling right away. You can most likely get away with selling low risk items right after registration, but this ALWAYS brings up suspicion.

Elijah again you are the chosen one, I am merely going by mortal rules :)

This is the second time that I have seen you write this. I sell branded stuff on day 1. Never have a problem unless I leave it after 2-3 days from registration before listing... then I get taken down, almost every time.

OP: you need to learn from other members in your own country. You are going by 3 different countries and not all rules are the same.

We do not even get similar selling limits so we cannot give you a pinpoint date when to start selling.

As far as the US and canada go: it is BEST to wait 30 days after you have created your listing. This is a safer time for us and even then, we have been hit with MC requests.

The MC that Elijah mentioned is not even an MC the the USA accounts receive when asked to confirm ID. Im not saying anyone's answer here is wrong, Im just saying the rules are NOT the same for us all.

Good luck.

I am after Elijah.
All my accounts have items listed within a week, if not just 1 or 2 days after opened. All items were sold, shipped, received positive feedback and fund was also withdrawn.
All my account are still under 30days.
I am not saying I will not be caught, but I prepared with my best to avoid that happens.
They only catch you if they suspect your identity. Otherwise, you should be good no matter where you are or when you list your first items.

After checking some emails, it's actually an MC124 that I get when leaving it a while before listing.

And I've tried this on USA/Canada also. Same outcome as UK accounts.

OP, you have different views - list and post up your experience. All the best
