Aged Account 4 Years+
 

Hi there,

Just a quick question on how I should go about with an account I created a long time ago. I checked my emails and I've been given many about selling on eBay, got the 4 year anniversary in September for the account. I'm guessing I should get a new IP and use it on that, treating it as a ghost because it'll likely have a high limit and I'll have to nature it well. It has had browsing history and also bidding history since when I last used the account some four years ago.

What would you all do?

Kind Regards,

Killakk

I agree...treat it as new to avoid unusual activity by listing quick.
Start off slow...low risk items and continue with bidding and browsing history :-)

Yep, treat it just like a new account...go slow and in 90 days or so, you'll be able to "hit the gas" and do some good selling........

literally just list low value items few at a time and gradually increase but don't go all guns blazing or youll get spotted...

Exactly it does take about 90 days to fully create a hopefully long lasting ebay account, with some early browsing history, followed by careful listing of some low risk items maybe from around your house, or some poundstore items that look like they could be worth more than you paid for them, then starting to gradually introduce a few of the things that you are thinking you might want to sell over time
