eBay Shipping Tracking # vs Selling Limit
 

All my new stealth accounts made recently have a 5-items-a-month limit...
I want to sell some used , lightweight stuff without tracking ...
(Previously all my accounts have tracking # for everything but that cost $$)

Question is, will shipping without tracking raise red flag, or prevent selling limit increase in the future?

If you want those limits raised you need to provide tracking. You should also upload the tracking same day asap. I often take small losses over a 90 period on a new account. If after 90 days It cost me $50 out of pocket to get the account to 100/5000 with no 21 day holds I will take that loss every time.

Dont take this the wrong way but if you can not afford the $2.60 to ship an item, you are wasting your time listing it.

Find something that makes at least a few dollars is my suggestion. Shipping without tracking causes all sorts of problems.

Shipping without tracking won't necessarily prevent your limits from being raised directly, but it will open the door for all sorts of delivery issues which will prevent your limits being raised. There will be lots of buyers who will decide they're going to open a case in a few days as soon as they see you've shipped without tracking.

If everything went smoothly on all transactions you would probably get a raise, but the odds of everything going smoothly and none of your buyers trying to scam you are very, very slim.

It's just a little difficult for me to find crap that are going to at least break even... all the sales in my stealth accounts are taking small losses, so at least for now I can think of it as paying insurance premium to keep my main accounts up and running ...
