Totally depends on the item.

If its a table go ahead.

If its a branded high risk item then its to soon

How do you find out if items are high risk??
They are actually shoes, since I have a buddy that works at foot locker I get a discount

[JamesNorth101]

In which case that is going to be a high risk item

[Yng.Strategist]

Okay are shoes usually high risk items??
How do you exactly know whats considered high risk and whats not??

[JamesNorth101]

Well no not all shoes, but I am going to guess your talking about either Nike or Adidas?

[Yng.Strategist]

I am talking about Adidas, that is correct

[JamesNorth101]

I always find it amazing how many people have friends at footlocker willing to risk their job by allowing someone to sell discounted shoes using their employee discount.

Well known branded items are considered high risk, because most big brands like that have lawyers constantly patrolling Ebay looking for and taking down unauthorized retailers.

I still don't see how it would be possible to make a profit, considering the thousands of phake addidas out there..

I actually use to work at this Adidas store that my friend works at now and he is actually the manager now. But if its consider high risk than I won't do it just wondering. Thanks guys

[JamesNorth101]

I thought it was a footlocker?

Either way he would still be putting his own job at risk. Footlocker have policies against their staff being able to buy items using their discount and then resell the items for personal profit.

Can't those lawyers just like sue and get rid of all the people who sell ⊗⊗⊗⊗ stuff

That is exactly what they try to do

Get rid of 1 then 3 more pop up. Its a bit of a loosing battle

[Yng.Strategist]

The only reason we did it a few times before was because I paid him a little or bought him something to eat for it

[Yng.Strategist]

That's a crazy fight to be involved with.

Yeah, and it's never ending. There will be tons of phakes for sale as long as stealth eBay accounts are a possibility.

But with that being said, it would be a patently bad idea for you to start selling commonly phaked high-dollar items on a newer account. That's a surefire way to get Ebay to request invoices.
