how about this for a feedback shortcut?

[inonkp]

I get a listing up for about 20$. my friend buys it without checking out with paypal, and I just mark it as payed on My eBay. I pay 1.5$ seller fees but one good feedback.
what do you think?

That will work, just don't use that same friend to many times otherwise you'll get caught for shill bidding, or feedback manipulation.

[hususmancing]

agree with mainone1, if you get caught, your account will be suspend...

Why even mess around with that?? It will just lead to problems for you. Why not just actually sell some lower $ items and get the feedback the normal way?

And try to generate a bit of profit while doing what cardfelon says...

Yes you can do that but not really worth it, better off just buying something you were going to buy somewhere else.

Key word here, and a bad word "shortcut" <<< Always leads to greif

Now since selling cheap crap is hardly a huge undertaking, why bother with the risk? I'm sure you can find something laying around to sell. This seems to me to be the opposite of a shortcut truth be told.

I just want to give some advices, if you want to do this trick you may consider a "pick up" shipping method and don't leave the feedback quickly, just wait for 1-2 days before you leave a feedback.
