what to sell for first listing
 

Hey guys!

What do you suggest to list mostly for first few weeks to avoid MC999.
I was thinking used clothes?! what do you think and suggest?

And that is considered usually "High Risk"?

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

Any item list under as "used" not a "high Risk. list anything that us not branded.
Is your account stealth or real one? If stealth how old?

Household, used books.

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

anything that doesn't have a brand, is low priced, and you take a picture of should be fine

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

Generic household items.

Avoid anything with a brand

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

Nothing that will draw attention, nothing with packaging, nothing with name brands preferably

Go easy on your Ebay account, and build trust with Ebay by building up some positive feedback

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

I agree^^^^ People get to excited when theyre trying to get back at it.. take your time and get some quality feedback and earn trust!

Go nice and slow I find the first 3 months it is better to sell 10'items a month and than after 90 days you can increase limits.' I. Had a couple accounts get restricted from selling close to 30 days old but around 60'sales. Close to 50 positives no neg or neutrals DSRS 5.0 across the board and no cases. I had two accounts like this get restricted from selling because I was a threat to the eBay community but had perfect scores.

Anyway it was definitely for too many sales too fast, the accounts I start slow with low risk items and first month sell 3 items and 2 nd and 3 rd 10 items max , these accounts go on and last

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

I concur & had a very similar issue some time ago.

I had a perfectly good account burned this way by pushing its limits a bit too much. eBay also said I was a threat, although account had perfect scores. Only reason I could think of was the volume of sales.

It may be difficult in the beginning, but the slow/steady method really pays off about 3-4 months down the road.

Low end arts and crafts too, cards, collectibles - whatever - business low-end items too

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

If all else fails hit up a yard sale. Grab some useful itmes and list those.

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

Well, when you say start slow, does it mean to NOT reach your limit every month? I only have 10/$1000 per month. Do you mean don't use all 10 listing in a month OR you mean spread the 10 listing per month to 2 listing every week and let them sell/ship then put new listing or re list?

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

I would spread them throughout the month and rather than listing 10 do 8 (2 per week) and make it look that you are selling odd items from around the house that you no longer want. All the suggestions of low end collectibles, books, orniments, business items, non branded etc are ok. Looks like you are clearing your garage.

Re: what to sell for first listing
 

low risk item like a book or second hand item

probably first 20 items should be like this
