What triggers a bot to ask for ebay account verification?
 

Hi, when I open a stealth and list one item for 29.99 for example I am fine. But when I list all of my 5 listing spaces they automatically ask for account verification which I can't do because it is stealth. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

Are you listing risky items as a start?

Welcome friend!

What are you listing limits? If it's 5/500 then they will ask you every time for verification if you list 5 items.

Then don't list all five any more. Just do one or two and build up some history. Then you can ramp up.

Stock photos is the biggest thing in my experience from account buyers

Listing too fast too soon would be the next

Listing things that may be risky or expensive

Start off by listing ONE very low risk item, sell it, then repeat.

Slow down your selling. Don't list the max at first.

Also, keep in mind the FIRST item is the most important. Don't use stock photos and make it a mundane thing like a pen set, flashlight, book, cheap toy, etc. Keep the price under $20.
