Uploading The Product To Fast- Put Account On Hold
 

If we upload products to fast
can we have our account under review?

I mean uploading 12 items in less than a minute?
Will this affect our account and put us under review?

Thanks

No I do this all the time....

I mean if its your first time listing on the account then sure but I list or relist up to 50 items at a time on accounts.

Don't forgot they don't limit regular business practices. Thousands upon thousands of sellers list 100+ items daily. Just use common sense.

It was a new account, First day

If its a new account, you really shouldn't be pushing your luck like that.

Go easy, go slow- If you get annoyed by how slow you are going, it means you are doing something right.

I start my new accounts with 3-5 listings, just really take your time and write random descriptions, different items and so on. Then next weekend once these 5 items have ended, list another 5 and max the limits.
I usually wait till new month, list another 5-7 items, wait for them to end and max the limits right away and usually get my first limit bump at that point. After that I list 10-15 items per weekend and just wait for a limit rise.
By month 2 you should have 90-180 limit account and thats when you can list more and sell more, you are closer to 90 day limit and by that point you have an account with 30-50 feedback and 90-360 item limit, with no 21 day hold.

PS: New accounts are not there to make money first month or so, in my case I don't put more than £300 through the account during first 90 days because:
a)I don't have the need currently to MAKE money on new accounts
b)Slowly and surely, I think first 90 days are most important part of new accounts and you should use it to build up feedback and transactions numbers, nothing else.

Yeah you'll get limited pretty quickly if you do it that fast.

You have to look at it from their perspective. What seller lists that many items the FIRST day of signing up to BRAND NEW account?

0...

Unless they're stupid or stealth.

They want neither.

manoverde, what have you done so far? Lots of questions - have you been trying the answers out?

Re: Uploading The Product To Fast- Put Account On Hold
 

i would suggest not listing any more until you fulfill those orders and let a few days pass after they have been delivered

Re: Uploading The Product To Fast- Put Account On Hold
 

first 3 months = slow listing and withdrawals of £100 or less, never request another withdrawal under the prior one has been completed,

BUILD ACCOUNTS DON'T LOSE THEM

I'd love to see some people test selling fast on new accounts and report back how many get banned, never seems to be a problem for me. Thats the reason they have paypal 21 day holds, so you can't run away with their money on new accounts.
All my accounts other than ones with huge limits sell £1k in the first month of items that people here would scream 'high risk', normally within a week and hit the paypal limit on the second month. Might be a different story if you're selling mac lipstick and cards against humanity that may not be entirely genuine lol
Not sure about uploading products so quick but why don't you give it a go, if the 1st account goes down then you know not do it again, if not then you can test more and decide if the 'list slow' nonsense is worthwhile for you.
Definitely not cost effective for me to spend hours building accounts, let alone spending my Saturday mornings walking round charity shops looking for books I'm probably going to lose money on, fill my house/warehouse with and not be able to find for ages after they've finally sold a month later
