Forums have lots of example if you try a search.

its a new account bought from one of the great sellers on the forum.
i want to sell items that are least likely to result in a swift suspension.
just want to gain a few feedbacks and strengthen the account and keep it going.

Well, you paid the seller money, you might as well ask THEM, and get your monies worth

low risk? well anything can be faulty but going for non-electricals brings risk down a bit, non-branded stuff cuts it down, breakables..

non-branded stationary is a good example...

Arts & Crafts, none branded are cheap and robust. With things like crochet hooks you cant go far wrong.

Agree with the dollar store idea solefoodbk - in uk, it's the pound store

Or make your own little arts and crafts

In the UK these days water powered plastic blasters are great and very cheap ones can be bought almost everywhere from stores that can't sell them because no one is going shopping for things like that 'cos it's so hot in the shopping centres, but people will look online for them in the evenings.

I sell phone cases. Not a single issue over a long time. Seems to be a very nice feedback generator.

Why not. You will sell like 1-2 in the first month. But it is still better than nothing. But before selling anything, you should follow everything mentioned in the stealth guide.
