Have you sold on your account yet.
Its just i always remember people saying that buying feedback is of no importance. Its the selling feedback which counts
Hope ive said that right :-)

I forgot to comment...
There may be a limit on bidding amounts with you being new...also sellers may have altered there preferwnces so that you cannot bid or bid amounts can be reduced if you have open cases for non payment :-)

I usually set my preferences so that one buyer can only buy or bid 3 items in a 10 day period, in a few rare instances a buyer may of tried to purchase more than 3 and when blocked they just messaged me and I was able to take a look at them and decide to let them or not make the purchase

A sign of the times that this has to be done but it is a wise way to operate accounts these days, there really are so many scammers about that everyone needs to be proactive at dealing with potential problems before they arise!

If you don't set that preference, a competitor or just some idiot could do some damage, buying up all your auctions and not paying, they could really put your account on hold a few weeks if wanted

I sold about 11 items with my new acc.. Yes i know they are not counting, but if i have start from zero this is nice if i have some good feedback at start

Well done xxelvijsxx, a good solid start, upwards and on to account success for you hopefully!

Just be careful on what you buy if you are doing it for feedback. The last thing you want to be pulled for is feedback manipulation.
Apart from one account, ive never bought anything on my others. I often bid to look interested but never bought on any of mine apart from once in the beginning.
I would just be worried that buying items at 14 cents with free shipping is crying out....feedback manipulation in ebays eyes.
Just my opinion but see what others say :-).

Yes probably don't want to be buying things so cheaply on a regular basis as halo says you don't want to be associated with any thoughts of feedback manipulation!

Thank you very much ; )

Buying few items does NOT increase your seller feedback - you need to sell few things :)
