How would you guys handle it if you were in my situation ?

I would not use the friend's account regardless of its amazing history.

I am perfectly able to build my own accounts and succeed.

I understand you want to sell high volume...but without the full stealth work and time invested...it's feeling like you are going to kill the account.

This makes me sad :(

Agree with rsot here.

You have a very valuable account that can be used to your own ends with very careful nurturing but it will take time, several months perhaps a year or more in fact to get to where you want it to be. If you are savvy and patient then you can do it.

However your misguided enthusiasm will only lead to disaster.

If you need to sell higher volume then the only safe way is with multiple stealth accounts.

There should be no problems at all here now...surely?

Yes, all you are doing is creating flags again to bring the account under check by ebay/paypal.

paypal info mation change: Red flag.

Possible retrun address: Red flag.

Massive increase of listings: Red flag.

IP change mixed with all of the above: Full house of Red Flags.

We are trying to help you understand this is not the money maker you wish it could be.

As i see it your only option is to continue where your friend is leaving things, taking over his stock and current sale rhythm not changing anything at all. If you can use his ip even. Do that while you learn where you are and how to safely make some changes. Otherwise you'll get owned, as everyone already told you.
