New eBay account, when is right time to sell?

[SpecialOps7s]

I have started up a new eBay account on the 15th of this month, I have 1 positive feedback from buying a game, but I have 2 Tomorrowland tickets I am wanting to sell, hoping to get around €1,000-1,300 for them, and was wondering since the account is new when is the best time to sell, how long should I wait?...I just cannot afford for eBay/PayPal to mess up my accounts and hold the money or anything, thanks.

Wait another 2 weeks - get more bidding/browsing activity going - dont start off by just selling those tickets - that's a high amount for first transaction.

Because of the counterfeiting of tickets I would think high risk for sure.

try and delay as long as you can, if sale goes through funds maybe blocked for a period as well. Is there no websites that sell tickets ?

Which platform do you want to sell these tickets on?

On EB UK at least tickets can no longer be sold.

You might want to wait at least until your receiving limit is lifted.

All event tickets as of May last year. They will still show up in EB UK though.

Buyer pays 15% to StubHub
Seller pays 12% to StubHub

Very generously though PayPal do not take a cut of the % as well. That would just be greedy after all.

Of course you will have to wait 5-8 working days after the event has taken place to actually get your money for the tickets.

Buying in demand tickets and flipping them overnight for a decent profit is a thing of the past on EB UK.

I looked into StudHub last year and I am not going to use that for the simple fact that you will not get the funds until after the event, and the event isn't on until July so I cannot wait until then.

The question remains, which country are you trying to sell these tickets in?

Which country is the event in?

How come you have not managed to learn a single thing from last time you wanted to do this?

Is this for the USA market? Still the same as before.

What exactly was I suppose to learn from the last time?..This is a different story altogether, this is a new eBay account and I am wondering when is the best time to sell after I have opened it, the last time I was asking was it a risk and I know it was but I still sold the tickets on eBay in the end without a problem, it will be listed on eBay.ie but will be shown worldwide.

Last time you had a new account too....

You still have to watch out for problems.

Check where the sellers on ebay ie are located.

Make sure their listings are staying up.

So far so good, mine has been listed almost 3 days now without any problems.
