Can you get suspended for buying 1 cent digital pictures just to get feedback?

[jbluntz]

You can if you buy too many, if it's just 10-15 at a time, then no..

These 1 cent sellers often are suspended from eBay, very often... And if member are suspended, then his feedback is removed too, so You can lost this feedback in fast way.

The sellers can get suspended on a random basis but not the buyers who are only buying 10-15 of the same item at a time, done it countless times myself..

Of course, buyer can not to suspended, but if seller is suspended, than both feedback are removed automatically.

This is eBay rule already thru years, when any member comes " member is not longer registered" , then all his feedback who left is removed from all other member accounts. Time by time happpen with some of my accounts.

I used to sell them myself actually for awhile, real easy to be ban for a seller, but those who bought from me appeared not to face the same outcome as I did, I would imagine as a buyer you would only get suspended for buying a big amount were talking perhaps by buying more than 10 from the same seller, think about it would look rather strange to eBay.

Have not happen to me either - buying a few but not obscene amounts (obscene being 20+ - keep it under that.)

Ideally feedback should be a mixture of .1cent items to $5.00 ones. Variety confuses ebay :D

ok just wondering if it looks better to sell to set-up feedback or is buying .01 the same.

Darn i dont know what products between $1 to $5 to purchase since im not using my real address

$5 iTune cards with #'s that are emailed help with that.

WAY riskier to sell them than to buy them, that's for sure. When I go back to an old account a year later, and see the 12 fb's I got when I set it up, 4-8 of them penny-stuff-sellers are almost always suspended.

To get an account set up, buying 1-10 recipies is completely harmless IMO, but remember, they are worth nothing on your account but the way your fb looks- it's feedback from SALES that make your account stronger and give you some credibility with Eb@y.

Hey everyone, I heard from an eBay user once that eBay won't pick up on you selling these as long as it's below a certain amount. I'm not sure what the benefit is between selling these versus buying but as long as I never passed her (eBay Member) rule of selling no more than 30 a month, I've never had issues. According to her she's done it for 8 years and never been caught. Any insight on this?
