How much time to make new ebay accounts

[yotano211]

I just was wondering, how much time do you guys take to make any new ebay and/or paypal accounts.

I take about 35 mintues for each ebay and paypal accounts. And that is from start to finish.

I am trying to find ways to cut the time down so any new tips or ideas would be great. I do know that some people can do it in 20 min.

Little thing like using the 'Sign up to PayPal' button within eBay, prefills all the information and doesn't make you confirm the email address. That's just one of many but you already probably do that

Something like 20 minutes.

About an hour... I kinda take my time. I eat as I do it, make a cuppa. Usually watch something as I do it.

I do it for myself, so if I make 1 account a week and raise it like my own child, I'm happy. No need to pump out 100 a day, for me at least.

Steady account creation scenario plays very fast and solid. But the actual development is slow and careful.

I remember JBluntz and few other sellers used to speak about account creation within 10 min hah

Actually, account creation can be scripted and done by bots. But it won't be solid enough.

I have always done the paypal 1st then the ebay 2nd. I'll try this method when I get more phones this week.

And that is why i gladly pay for basic accounts. They are guaranteed to work and I saved myself about an hour or two of frustration. Then in a month, limits get raised and I then have a 10/1000 account.

Yea but I make my own accounts for no more than $4.99. And it not that hard to make your own. And when I make the accounts, I'm usually watching TV.

To be quite honest the main part of making the account is actually setting up the email address, sorting phone number etc. It's not actually making the PayPal. When you start using the link in eBay yotano211 it will make the ebay part even quicker.

I believe it is a business of how good you can make, instead of how fast you can make...

I agree, the time goes in getting together all your Data, the actual entering information takes minutes, and as you mentioned , once you create EBay Paypal creates itself with the link

[yotano211]

I'm waiting on new phones and I'll try that method.

The actually account creation is maybe 8-10 minutes. It is setting up the mail, phone, user account or VMware/ipad etc... depending on what I am planning to do with the account. That can take 10-20 minutes in itself.

If it were just a matter of signing up on eBay and PayPal, I'm sure I could do it in 20 minutes or less. But there is also (for me anyway) the matter of selecting the proper stealth address, adding a browsing history to the eBay account and using a few other tricks to make the accounts strong. I WISH this only took 20 minutes! But I'm not complaining because the end result is worth it.

Yes this is exactly it!

[rsot]

I spread out my account creation - first pp then eb

[manwithaplan]

I take 45 minutes for both

I've actually written a document on the process which shows the actual breakdown of time and the costs associated with both the account creation and creating a history up to the point of first item listing.

18 GBP is the answer

Takes 15 as long as I have all the important info.

[dealagreeproceed]
