Establishing some quick feedback on a new account

[woods8910]

Any suggestions for products that I could list on a new seller stealth account? I'm not asking anyone to reveal their best selling items, just something I can buy a few of that will break even and give me my money back whilst establishing some quick feedback. Thanks.

Pound shop items and stuff you've got lying around the house.

Your best option is to establish a legit and reliable seller account. Start with lower cost household items, and then over time you can dive into the wholesale and higher end market once you have a reliable seller account with great feedback.

Selling things cheap & quick for feedback is harder than it sounds. Been doing this for about a month and it's just been a lot of time wasted for buyers who won't even leave you feedback no matter what you do. I'm selling my items for ridiculously cheap, and the least they could do is leave a feedback which I kindly ask for. But nope! Sold 21 and 19 on separate accounts. How many feedback do I have on each? Just 8. And I know they all should have been delivered by now so the should've got my nice feedback reminder/note inside the package.

One thing I suggest you can do is hold buyers' feedback hostage. Lol. If the buyer truly cares about feedback, they'll leave you one in order to get theirs. Just say that your account is set up to automatically leave a positive immediately after they do. Once they leave it, leave theirs of course.

Also - if you do a bunch of auctions...check on them 5 or 10 mins. before they end and cancel any bidders with 0 feedback. I also check every other bidder's feedback > go to 'Feedback left for others' > and if they've never left it before, don't bother with them...cancel your bid. There's buyers who will have like 20 feedbacks from buying, yet when I click their 'Feedback left for others', there's absolutely none. Also, I don't ship internationally for my "feedback items". Just within Canada for me.

I personally think that it's really worth the money to buy an account that already has seller feedback on it. Unfortunately, I don't think there's many on here that have seller feedback - just buyer. Although you could ask the seller just to make sure. I'm just assuming that if they were actually seller feedbacks, the price of the account would be much higher.

Good luck though!

I never leave feedback unless the buyer leaves some, so i'm already doing that.

Haha i know exactly what you mean with regards to people not leaving feedback, although i have been receiving alot more recently which i hope continues.

Yes accounts already made with seller feedback are likely to be a fair bit more expensive, which i can't afford in these early stages of creating some stealth accounts.

do you want to build up an merchant account, or just want feedback?

you always could buy 1$ ebooks or other stuff, buy lots and sell it piece by piece.

buy and resell at the same time... you get the idea

That is definitely one way to kill your account

i understand but this is more of an exception than a rule

[nightyard]

can't we just sell false low price items to each other, mark as payment sent or received then leave feedback for each other?

[NoneOther]

That's called feedback manipulation and e/b know all the tricks related to that, it's a sure fire way to kill accounts very quickly.

In addition to that you still have to overcome the compulsory selling limits imposed by e/b on all new accounts.

It's well documented that selling low priced items results in a higher percentage of NPB, INR and SNAD cases than mid to high value items so not a good foundation to build a strong account on.

As has been advised before sell stuff from around the house, you'd be surprised at what people will buy.

I sell a lot of yard sale stuff on new accounts and get decent feedback.

Been doing it for years now and works for me.

Dollar shop is another venue worth exploring
