 Re: Gaining FeedBack
Stay away from digital items and 99 cent specials. I would sell items in the area of $5 that are priced at $5. I have seen many people that take a new account and buy a few cheap items to get feedback, or try to sell underpriced items, also for feedback. The problem with this is that eBay looks for this and they know what you are trying to do. You can easily get a new account suspended that way.
If you are trying to sell an item that is currently priced at $7 for $6.95 then you CAN get away with it. But reduce that price to $3 or $4 and eBay will get suspicious very quickly. I have called eBay many, many times for myself and others, and I can tell you, one of the biggest things I hear is that the items listed on a given new account were priced below the current market value. I can usually play dumb about it and get the accounts reinstated, but there is no guarantee of that.
I'm not saying there is nothing you can do to get feedback, just be careful. And I would not use one stealth account to buy an item on another stealth account - at least not more than once. eBay also looks for patterns. So, lets say you set up two accounts and have 5 existing accounts buy something from each new account. eBay will see that the same accounts are buying from multiple new accounts and the next thing you know, your accounts all get suspended.
If you want to go that route, then use one existing account to buy ONE item from ONE new account and never use that account to buy another item from your accounts. I know that sounds limiting, but you have to remember that eBay has about 20 years of experience in looking for this stuff and they have all kinds of programs running to detect this stuff. Ten years ago, you could easily get away with it, but no longer.
