Selling Mobile phones new account

[wiserjoe727]

Hi fellow board members, i am in the process of getting a new account from you guys and i wanted to know what would be the best path of travel to eventually be able to sell iPhones. Like what should i sell first (may have put this in the wrong section whoops sorry just new to this board)

Thanks
Joseph

Get the account - browse first for a bit with some bidding/winning - sell low end items - build some feedback and credibility then look at a listing of an iPhone.

Sadly - for you and this must be understood - iPhone is a very risky sale...high risk item, risky category, buyers who WILL try and rip you off, Paypal who may flag you...you must know the steps well if you are going to dabble in this.

Lot of reading and experimenting for you - I highly doubt that successful sellers of iPhones will give you the trade secrets but that being said, experiment or so - best of luck.

Do NOT think of trying to sell this right away - You are NOT ready.

so at least wait to like 50 positive feedback or higher is the safest bet?

You should have better feedback than that.

You have to make sure your source of iphones is acceptable & you have all the supporting paperwork.

You have to know in advance how to deal with buyers.

Your selling plan must be good enough to withstand the issues that will come with selling this type of item

Do you have that knowledge?

More than just feedback OP - people with 1000 feedback and MORE still get killed on the account the MOMENT the term "iPhone" is spotted.

Explore other listings - LEARN...you may have to experiment; you may lose accounts; you may have sketch buyers - knowledge as GB indicated is needed but skills take time...

I have seen accounts that have failed even after 3-6 months of building (not personally since my use and sales of iPhone = zilch)

Okay thanks for the advice i been selling apple products for the longest time on craigslist and eventually want to move that stuff over to eBay thanks for the help

Best of luck wiserjoe727 - my advice is not meant to scare you but to prepare you in advance to avoid headaches and unnecessary time wasted on account creation.

How you operate your account is your own choice of course

The bulk of my sales involve mobile phones.
I am running about 15 stealth accounts.
For each new stealth account, I sell 1 or 2 low risk items and ensure my feedback level is above 10. So far my accounts are still active.

That is good to spread sales - good approach

I like it works for you.

Yet others seem unable to understand the basics of exactly how you are operating.

Keep up your good work.

Ive been selling iphones with one account for the last 2 months, the seller account has been open for since jan 12. but i just started selling 15-20 iphones on that account in the last 2 months. (feed back around 130) i maxed out my 5000 seller limit half way though the month and now waiting till the new month to start selling again. i have another ebay accont that i can use, im just waiting on figuring out my ip address and how to change it. ive tried just about everything and cant seem to change it. would 5k a month in sales be enough to raise red flags? or what should i try to stay under to keep under the radar?

Selling iphones are high risk. You are pushing the limits hard and asking to be limited.

Forum is dedicated to creation of stealth accounts - read about the method and spread sales.

All the best.
