Is this too much activity for a new stealth account?
 

Unfortunately, one of my best stealth accounts has recently been suspended. I have made 3 more as back up, they are about 1-2 weeks old business accounts bank and card verified with Paypal - I haven't had a chance to build up any selling activity yet but I have bought a few small items on each account.

I have an item which I would like to sell, and it is quite time-sensitive. Ideally, I would like to sell these as soon as possible. Would it be a stupid move to sell it on these new accounts straight away? I am only concerned because the value of the items is fairly high (about £150). Would this cause my account to get limited or suspended? I am able to provide ID, bank statements etc.

If I sold maybe 2-3 of this item every month on each account and stuck to my selling limits, would this be fine?

What kind of item is this or, in which category will this item fit?

Hmmm, just some advice.

Off the bat a high amount might flag the account.

Supplying ID, info is not always a given limits will be removed.

:pout:

I think you could probably start selling these after you've received 20-30 selling feedback with smaller items, but even then 150 an item is fairly risky on newish accounts, and should really only be tried on much older accounts. like 9-12 months.

If you let some of the more experience members know what type of items you're selling they maybe be able to give you more information.

There is no problem selling the occasional £150 on a new account. What I call new though is 2 -3 months, 1-2 weeks isn't new.....it is embryonic. Certainly no need to wait 9-12 months though.

A LOT depends on what the item is.

One item on it's own,(that isn't itself high risk), wouldn't be enough to cause a problem. Although with little feedback and age to the account you are unlikely to optimise its' value, if auctioned.

The fact you have multiples of this 'one item' is likely to cause a potential problem and eyebrows to be raised, and should be avoided.

If I am correctly understand, OP is not saying the £150 item is "unique", he is only stating he has a few that want to sell.

Providing that it is not a risky item (that was my first question above) I do not see any problem in selling the same item across several accounts.

OP should be careful not to use same photo or description... this will cause a link between accounts.

There are a lot of things not that clear here.

For example, the OP says:

So from what is being said here........the OP implies he has more established stealths available still, in addition to the 3 babies.

So why not just sell these items on the more established stealths?
