Ok so is it ok to only sell 1 kind of item over and over or should you diversify your items? My dilemma is I've ran out of my other items and now only sell 1 particular item, which sells really well. Would that pose a potential problem for the account?

No issues at all. Keep in mind that you can attract attention from competitors if you are listing piles of auctions and burying there items. Great way to make money buy issues do come up.

Can you not buy something that you just make a small amount off of, just to hide your real item a little?
I do this on my main account with my store. I have my core items, then I have a bunch of low profit items I call them "fillers". I always offer free shipping, etc. I do this to get feedback and boost up my DSRs. They also help me fill out my store a little more. Overall its just an easier way for me padd my feedback and DSRs so I am Top Rated in eBay's metrics.

That's the baller move lot of the big stores do this
yea i need to diversify my portfolio a bit if you will. I only have 1 core item and i think I just found my next item. But I'd like to have at least 3-4 items in all different categories to mix things up a little. The category limits start to get old after awhile.
I have also use mixers/fillers that I use around my core items. part of stealth is hiding your tracks in my opinion. so I like to throw them off my scent

My only issue with this is I have limited selling ability on some my accounts so I'd hate to waste my sales on the low profit "filler" items. I'm already maxing out my limits with core items. So should I just stick to the core items until my limits get increased?
Once I get to being able to sell at least 50 items a month that won't be an issue. At that point I'll stArt adding the filler items. Most of my accounts are only allowed 10, 30 and only 1 is at 50 sells allowed per month. When your ordering 200x of an item that gets to be a problem.
