Re: How to build new eb acc history and feedbacks
I disagree w/person who said feedback doesn't matter to buyers.
It DEFINITELY does matter, at least for items of considerable value/price.
I am also in same situation & worried about the algorithms, selling low price items to friends/family, timely shipping & building positive feedback is my plan.
But if everyone buys within several days of one another, all purchasing one/ea of different items, then disappearing, then removing the listings ... will that be flagged as suspicious?
Or am I overthinking it?
I think it's easier to create ⊗⊗⊗⊗ listings, have friends/family "purchase" (for which I reimburse, and consider expense as cost of doing business) than to actually find/source real products, and wait for real buyers to make a real purchase.
Who knows if you'll even get feedback from them?
I looked on Amazon for $2-$3 items with low shipping, copied their listing & posted at a high price until my friends/family were ready to purchase.
Just in case, to avoid possiblity of "real" buyer buying item I didn't have.
But will this activity trigger eBay algorithms as "shady?"
I signed up, purchased a few things, waited about a month to sell 2 items, so far I doubt I'm on any radar.
Anyone have experience with staying under the radar while building feedback rather quickly?
Also: is it just me, or do other people responding to thiis question sound odd, like maybe shills, or people who don't know what in the hell they're talking about?
