i spend about $10 buying a ton of stuff with free shipping with the auction prices ending no higher then $0.50. most of the items close for about $0.10 or so and i email the sellers not to ship me the items. I get about 40+ feedback in a few days usually after i leave feedback for the sellers first. does anyone else do this? does this create red flags?
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
PS to start a BIN auction does one need to have 10+ feedback from sales or does it not matter what type of feedback its from? eg can I list BINs if I have 10 +ve feedback from purchases?
Just buy things you need like shipping supplies. Sell basic stuff around the house. And dont quote me on this but i believe once you have 5 feedback with a linked Verified Paypal account you can use the BIN feature.
ebay says 30 but my most recent account was able to list in quantity of BIN at 17 FB ..
anyone else had this experience??

I have a backup account with a FB of 23, I can list BINs but I cant use the Best Offer feature. Only 4 or 5 FBs are from sales, the rest are from items i bought.

Do you also pay the sellers, too?
And are the sellers selling the stuff for feedback or are they going, "oh crap my item sold at a loss" ????
For what divine422 said of selling stuff around the house, this used to be easier eight years ago on eBay, but now stuff usually won't sell unless you use a shill to buy it or else it's something you sell at a huge loss. Or you're selling stuff specifically targetting at sellers who are buying it just to buy feedback.
its funny cause i used to sell only to the uk and after 10 feedback i could sell as bin - i stopped selling to the uk and started to sell only to the usa and i could not use the bin feature until i had 5 feedback from usa - weird huh?
I had recommended something like this a month or two ago and took a lot of scrutiny from others. I DO NOT suggest doing any feedback manipulation. Buyer's that check the seller's feedback will recognize this too. Good luck and becareful.

Most business people go by statistics and not heresay. I've bought lot's of under a dollar items on at least 40 accounts and only 1 got a 30 day suspension for feedback manipulation. Those are your statistics, if listening to heresay sends tingles up your spine then feel free to do that to, I like to lay the facts out so people can make their own choice. Some people like risk, some people like a little risk and some people (like those against buying under a dollar items) don't like any risk at all. If you're one of the latter than you would not want to buy under a dollar items, since as you can see from the numbers it does have a little tiny bit of risk and a painstakenly long 30 day wait.
is this a risky way to build feedback?
