How to establish feedback?

[mpaca]

Hi just wondering how to establish feedback with out the 'red flags'..

Can i buy lots of low value items from OTHER people without getting limited?

Can i sell items from one of my stealth accounts and use another of my stealth accounts to buy it? (As long as i leave it a few days after the listing has started and i actually pay i cant see a problem?)

If you could put me in my place about this id appreciate it. Or if you have nay other things what work.. ideally i need seller and buyer feedback.

Thanks

It's not hard to get feedback. Find some junk you got lying around the house, sell it, put in an an envelope, job done.

Buying a bunch of low items doesn't actually do much for feedback. It might look good to some buyers, or at first glance, but to eBay it's meaningless when they look at you as a seller.

And no sax4 it's not that easy at all. Less than 50% of buyers leave feedback. I've sold 21 and 22 items on each new stealth account now, and I only have 9 and 10 feedbacks on each.
I can tell that all have been delivered by the way. Sold all of them for STEAL prices too.
No matter what, if you leave a friendly note with their item to remind them about leaving feedback, or message them a couple days after it's been delivered, or hold their feedback until you receive it, people simply do not care, unfortunately.

I've offered incredible prices, fast shipping, great communication, and most of it's been a waste of my time for the buyers who don't bother to leave feedback.

Well there you go then, if you want ten feedbacks sell 20 items.

You should also be sending feedback requests in EBay.

My response rate is higher, probably 70% leave feedback. I also add a note in the package

I've never had problems with then feedback I've created. I always make myself look like the average Joe

Both buying and selling feedback is nice to look like a normal user.

buying feedback does make a difference, i had someone comment to me this week that they trusted me because they saw a lot of selling AND buying on ebay. a feedback of 100 (25 selling and 75 buying) looks a lot better than a feedback of 25 with just selling

Yes but my question is.. can i buy and sell my own items with two different stealth accounts and leave feedback without getting suspended? Ive tried to sell real items but none of them are selling and it seems a long process. Especially when trying to get 10 stealth accounts to 50 feedback each.

advise please!

I think we need a sticky thread called "how to get feedback". It seems a lot people somehow struggle with this

It's easy to list, sell, and ship out cheap things but it's hard to control how quick it sells, and whether the buyer leaves feedback or not.

Exactly, I put an item for sale to build feedback, I sold 350 pcs of the item. 350 Orders within 3 days. 80+ Feedbacks in one month

Thanks.

Well that's more to do with you and your customer service. Ok some people won't bother leaving feedback for a $2 dvd, but less than 25% is woeful. Send slip in box. Send email in EBay

Advise? Build your account NORMALLY - read around the forums - learn how to do it. What you are asking can be done but no one can lead you by the hand on this. You might not be ready to do it if you asking this question.

You will be caught eventually. No point in doing this

That decision is yours - seems like you want everything so straight up. Just do trial and error if you wish. It's part of the learning curve.

All the best

If the BBC report later today Hell froze over, then this is doable.

I'll check the weather reports most happily for you.
