A Couple Questions.
 

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions. These have probably been asked and answered before but I thought I'd make another thread irregardless.

First, from people with experience, if I buy a stealth account with 100/5000 selling limits and 30+ days how quickly would I be able to raise this limit? I'm use to selling 1000+ items per month. I'm selling items that are under $10 and not against eBay policy, would it be bad to max out the sales in the first week?

Second, if I use a friends eBay account would I just need to erase / change info (IP, cookies, etc)

Thanks, any feedback would be appreciated.

Limit increases are seemingly random so it's difficult to give a specific timeline as to when you'll see an increase. It could be very soon in a month, or in a year. The best thing to improve your chances is to be an overall good seller and sell closely to your limits. I've also found that the category matters as well - if you're selling items which are low risk, increases seem to happen more often.

If the account has no selling activity then I wouldn't even think of getting near its limits the first week. I know it's hard to hold back and list as many auctions as you want, but you'll want to go as slow as you can.

Also try not to use a friend's account or info. When tax time comes, things will get messy. Stealth accounts (yes multiple if you want to be best protected) are the way to go.

IMO, I would not max the limits of that account for at least 90 days...and who know when you'll get raised limits....no one I have heard of has that crystal ball...might be quick, might be more than a year?
