How long to wait to sell on new Account?
 

Honestly, how long do you really need to wait to sell on a new account? I wanted to list a few household items I have on a brand new account I created tonight, no Vero. I want to create about 5 more accounts tonight and start selling on at least 2 of them this weekend.

A few house hold items, no VeRO? You're fine list away.

For vero a month is sufficient. However if youre in a tough spot a week or so with one item a week should be fine if listed properly.

Not that Id know anything about that.

how long before you can list a laptop?

laptop= high risk item= ?flags. Have at least 10 feedback & a great story ;)

all no high risk item you can start immediately after register eBay user name success :D

If you sell a high risk item, eBay will be calling you about it.

In my case, I made a new account and listed an iPhone about 1 hour after creation.

I got a call from eBay asking my email address, username, item listed, and date of birth.

Make sure you have all of that handy when you list something high risk really quickly!

This has been stated MANY times in this forum.
I have stated this MANY times in this forum myself.

For a "New" eBay account you should wait at least 30 days before attempting to sell ANY "High Risk" or "VERO" type of item.

I have accounts that are currently aging for this very reason.
I have accounts that are over 9 months old that have NEVER been used.

Learn to plan ahead if you are going to play the "High Risk" or "VERO" game.

Thanks for the help, this can be closed.

HWGA, the point I'm making is that it's possible to sell high risk items quickly.

My account is still going strong, even though the iPhone was listed only one hour after the account creation.

To a degree you are correct. But it has been proven that those users who carry out the steps outlined by Here We Go Again have less problems. Ergo, waiting as he suggested is
better. Have to consider a broad range of users that may not be knowledgable. If the advice is there as outlined, it will save my crying when I read the post 'I listed a vero item
10 minutes after i made the account& now I am suspended/limited so what should i do.' ;)

Fine...
Do what ever you want to.
Open new accounts - wait 4 minutes and then start listing Channel and iPhones.
When you account goes NARU a hour before the auctions or 2 hours after the auction closes do not come on here asking:
"Why did my account get suspended, I did what the book said"

How they will cry.:mad:

I got 75 back up accounts now resting.

speaking of back up accounts, i think i will "put some in the oven" tomorrow. :)

I'm not saying I don't wait, and I don't intend to start a war here on this thread.

I'm making backup accounts each day...I was just saying that it is possible to successfully begin selling high risk items very quickly without suspension.

^^^^^^^^
You can begin selling high risk items very quickly but your account will NOT last very long.


You are NEW here....
My suggestion would be for you to STOP trying to contradict everything that senior member are saying.
You might get further in life.

I start off as soon as i make the account. But i start of slow and cheap

What do most of you guys start selling on a new account? I've read about things you find around your house, but what are the other options?

Lakeman, here's a good thread. Will give you a great slant on starting. Worked VERY VERY well on my new accounts.:thumb:

new account high ticket items
 

new to this.. i opened up a new account and i'm wondering if i should pace myself and how quick i can turn up the heat. my average auction sale is about $50. i've never had any issues with vero so i don't think the items are high risk, but some are high dollar amounts ($500+). i would like to get about 1800 auctions running ASAP. approximately 600 unique items in 3 different listing formats. suggestions?

How new are your accounts? That's a lot of items to be listing on a new account.

1 account, 1 day old, how slow should i be taking things? i was thinking starting with higher ticket items this week about 5 $250 items then doubling the 2nd or 3rd week with 10 $250 items and so on (all starting at .99 cent but these items will get bids), then start bringing in about 25-50 smaller $40 BIN items about every 2-3 days.

Those are quite high prices for a new account, it is very likely you will get limited. If you are using real info, and can provide everything they ask for once you get limited then you should be fine.

Good luck with that plan.
We will see you next week asking why you account was suspended.

Do a just a little reading on this EXACT thread..
You might learn a little bit....

ok, so accounts with real verifiable info can get most likely stay afloat with high dollar amounts and large quantity of auctions right off the bat. that is reassuring

It's not that you stay afloat when you use real info, it just means once you get limited it should be easy for you to submit everything requested and get back on.

:nono:NO. Never make an assumption like that about your account. Even with
fully verifible information there may be more than one limitation. You must use
the account as safely as possible.

You can sell anything really. Just go to Walmart and buy a few things on sale or some cheapie items and list them. I have one particular item that I always sell on new accounts. I buy them in bulk from the same person every time and start listing them individually. I usually start listing about 2-3 weeks after I create it. I search around for a few things, maybe even bid on something I know I will get outbid on. Go into the community area, make an about me page, etc. Just act like a newbie. Then I will list my items to get east sales and quick feedback. After about a month, I'll start my vero items.

ebay/paypal is a game of trial and error.

except for too many complaints or abuse... limitations are just for verification of identity, correct? how many times will they ask for the same information?

make sure your paypal account is fully vertified because it will raise flags with paypal with a large amount of money coming in.
