some ebay advice needed
 

Hi?
I am newbie on ebay and i have some general questions
hopefully you guys can provide some answers
first i will layout my short ebay history
i have created a new account with verified paypal ( vcc and vba) and european ebay i think not sure , anyway this one was banned after putting op two high risk item .
Then i remembered i had old ebay account (feedback at 2) with own info on it so linked with my own paypal ( ebay account age 2004 ) and there i am selling two high risk items internationally shipped and 3 used goods where i put it was only possible to pick m up at my place.
This account is doing great so far the high risks are sold both auctions end today, two of the used goods are also sold auctions ending in few days.
So far so good now i have two questions
I realize i should be carefull but do you think i can put up some more high risk (probably other product)next couple days or should i wait for now ?

Second question
My dad has ebay account with feedback over 1000.
i don't think he has merchant account i am not sure tough
He agreed to let me make some listings , but how do i ensure i don't mess up his account , can i list something like 5 or maybe 10 ?
He mainly sells strips (comics) and records (singles and lp's) and books and cd's
He want's to help me out wich is nice but i really need to make sure his account is kept safe
i would mix the high risks up maybe 2 of each?

also i'm struggeling ass hell with verification for stealth us account but i will probably figure this out on my own i've gotten as far that i created softphone wit ipkall nulmber i supose i can maybe link this to google voice?

tx in advance vize

Welcome to the forums vize.

First of all you need to understand stealth and I HOPE you havent linked your dad's account to your old suspended accounts or that could be trouble down the road.

A lot of what are discussing is dependent highly on WHAT you list.

Mixing up the high risks is always dangerous - does your dad know this? Never know but could lead to takedowns and banning of account.

If you have your accounts, why not keep your sales on that account? No reason to put your dad's account at risk...seems like he is doing hobby sales...let it be alone.

i have decided to leave my dad's account in peace:)
so if i understand correctly it might be better to only sell as example ray ban sunglasses instead of mixing it up with some headphones and other stuff on same account .
Guess that makes sense in a way
i need to expand my knowledge on how to create stealth accounts, i have learned that phone verification is quite hard in comparison to other sites for sure.

Good choice on leaving dad's account :thumb:

Ray ban sunglasses...headphones...wow those are high risk!

Re: some ebay advice needed
 

yes i am very new to this whole concept but i do realize those very risky item , i will figure out wich item are a bit safer to sell for sure.
I am open for suggestions :p

Welcome Vize. Stay away from Dad's account and understand stealth. You are probably already linked by IP address. I don't know how you log on but need to separate yourself from dad's and any other account you have. I use VPN & mobile hot spot. Understanding stealth is paramount to success. Best of luck.

Suggestion is not to sell those high risk stuff right away on NEW account

i have bought the book , must say it contains quite extencive descriptions, good job.

i did not link my dad's account, i don't live at my dad's, i'm 33 years old ffs :D

i have succesfully created some nice fresh accounts i only need to get some new bank accounts and i'm good to go .

i meant suggestions about no risk stuff but that people will buy :)
