I would think that any aged ebay account is over 30 days old.

Aged account is an account that has ever sold anything, and at least 30 days have passed since the first sale. And "nicely" aged account is and account that is at least 90 days old, and has at least 10 selling feedbacks.

One with good selling history(a month atleast) and good customer feedback.

How long should you wait before you make your first small sale?

As long as you are not selling something high risk, I see no need to wait for more than 1 week.

I think for an account to be considered "aged" it needs to be at least 30 days old.

The you have what I refer to as "seasoned" accounts, which are aged at least 90 days, with the PayPal 21 day holds removed and at least 5 or 10 positive feedbacks.

If you are talking about an account that has been in existence for years with hundreds, or even thousands of positive feedbacks, that is a whole different animal. Those accounts go for thousands of dollars and are VERY RISKY, in my opinion. Because in the eBay user agreement it prohibits the transfer of accounts without eBay's permission and if they find out about it and close the account, good luck getting your money back! The seller of the account is not going to want to lose out and neither will you. So expect litigation.
