You might want to try both approaches though.

Selling cheaper and unrelated items and then adding a few phones at say day 60 or even 88 most likely will cause a request for invoices. Especially after September 1st. It really messed me up last fall. I will find a link to the thread.

Thanks Yankee.

So you would recommend selling 1 phone the first month, then 2 the second etc?
Or as soon as getting positive feedback from the first phone sale in the first month, just sell another one right away?

What do you think about this:

I will first purchase a $500 account and try selling phones right off the bat as a "trial," and see if I get any requests for paperwork.
If I don't, then I will just purchase a couple more backups of $500 accounts and do the same things, BUT if I do get invoice requests from the first account, then I will try introducing them slowly on the other $500 accounts.

Based off whichever approach works, I will then purchase a $25k limit account and apply it to that account. In other words the $500 accounts will be like trial accounts to see which method works.

All in all..if fabricated docs DO actually pass....then all of this is really for nothing because I can just send made up docs and dont need to really worry about any of this.

Sorry for the long post, but I really appreciate it Yankee.
Thanks.

Yes! You are going to have to experiment.

Sometimes you can "get away" with auctions easier than fixed price listings. Much more likely actually but not every item is profitable with auctions and it sounds like phones could be one of those.
