I'm opening a retail outlet to sell my products - will I still have problems opening

[Zak412134]

As the title says, if I'm trading in a brand new address under a business (eg. Electronics Ltd, High St, London). I have a brand new Internet connection, laptop and the business is under my legit name (which wasn't used when I got banned originally) - in this scenario would I be able to operate an eBay account just how every other business owner does - would I be able to call them for limit increases etc?

I understand this would put all my eggs in one basket but I would be committed to this retail business anyways with a minimum contract on the premises for at least a couple of years.

Anyways just wanted feedback on this idea.

It will always be a risk to ring eBay for an increase. Its always advised to not do that. Even non stealth accounts will have issues pretty often when ringing.

You will still need to use a stealth names and stealth DOB

While this plan may/will work as you put it, your putting all your eggs in one basket. What's your backup plan? What happens if your Business account goes down? Will you be running Stealths at the same time?

I agree with MM78. It is one thing to hope for the best, but this is eBay we are talking about, so hope for the best and plan for the worst. I would have several different accounts.

Still, it wouldn't hurt to do a business account at you new business address. I have put pictures of my store in my ads, my world, etc. It DOES make you look more legit, but it is NO guarantee that you won't eventually lose the account.

It's not just stealth users that are encouraged never to call for limit increases, it's eBay sellers in General, if you set up your stealth account the proper way than it should be just as solid as a regular account, and even stronger because of our insight into how to operate.

All my Stealths all have been better accounts than my original, because with stealth accounts I actually learned the true way to operate

When I,had my real account i operated reckless looking back, I had perfect feedback when I was restricted, but I called in received a limit increase and than called again 2 days later asking for a higher increase, when I hung up, all listings were taken down and when I called in they just refused to tell me anything, no reason, no appeal

My real account lasted 3 months with 1 month of really selling, the first 2 I was just playing around listing a few things I had, and than I found a product and supplier and it was DECEMBER and I made 3 eBay accounts all hooked up to one paypal all selling the same items

So foolish in operations , but by the Time u find out it's too late, eBay doesn't give second chances, rarely
