RoxJox | 06-01-2015 03:19 PM | Cheap, proven items to build eb feedback Greetings all,I'm new here, and this is my first post, so please go easy on me...lol! This is a GREAT forum, and I just had to subscribe after trolling around for a month or so. I too, have been the subject of 2 eb bans over the last few years for reasons I see are more and more common than I realized. I lost a 13 year aged account in 2012 that had over 10K fb due to slightly low DSR's. Honestly. I currently have 2 stealth accounts that have held up for over a year, though I list VERY low risk stuff, and let them progress at their own rate as eb isn't a primary source of income for me.
Anyway, what I've always found a VERY good item to build buyer, and especially seller fb with is single sports cards. To establish a little buyer fb, bid on any of the .99 auctions with free shipping (there are plenty). Sellers ship in a plain white envelope with a stamp. No tracking information. Wait 4-5 days after you purchase it and leave the seller fb (whether you got it or not) and 99% will return the fb.
Also, browse around the sports card section and make a few non winning bids on higher priced auctions in that category. It establishes search history as a 'collector' in a low risk category.
For selling, I wait till I have at least 1 fb as a buyer of sports cards, and the account has been established at least 30 days. I then list a few cards with a 10 cent opening bid with free shipping. You'll take a loss on these, but in general the sports card collector audience is VERY cheap, and VERY good at returning fb. Especially if they got a great deal.
Just my 2 cents worth, and what has worked for me. I certainly don't profess to be a pro. You guys are!! |
