How slow do you have to go???

Robin Hood of Amazon · #1 04-13-2022

So with this new ebay for retards how slow do you have to sell? I have had 2 stores suspended in recent days for selling too much. No counterfeit takedowns, no returns, no negative feedback. Just because i sold too fast. Had these accounts for just over a month. Had less than 2 grand in sales but had to add EIN because of the new $600 rule which is bull****. Both accounts had 1 thing in common which is that as soon as i sold multiples of 1 item the next day the account was suspended. So my question is how slow do you have to sell on ebay now to not get suspended. $200 a month? Less? Do they want only retards that list items but don't sell? I thought i was going extremely slow. Listing 1 item per week and not listing in quantities of more than 10.

Was the first couple items high value though?

Robin Hood of Amazon · #3 04-13-2022

Not at all. Sold some t shirts and books as my first sales to ease in. Less than $10 per item. Then my usual items came in which are $50 or less. Last night made 6 sales, this morning account suspended.

Eb doesn't appreciate 10 quantity listings for new accounts. Aged account should work better. Slow down even more spread sales through multiple accounts until you gain Eb trust.

really? Even after waiting for say 2-3 weeks before he does a 10 item fixed price?

Didn't even put 10 item listing. Doing 8 or 9 max. Ever since ebay started managed payments they have gotten even more strict. Since they control the money they are trigger happy to suspend. Everyone complained about paypal but now that ebay has all the power it's way worse.

2-3 Weeks for Multiple item listing just isn't enough time I think.

Much better when ebay suspended account and i withdrew money from paypal, didn't ship items or pay seller fees. Left ebay holding the bag. Now it's payback time for ebay.

Gonna have to open 30-40 accounts and list 2-3 items for a few months. Which isn't a huge issue but after $600 in sales you need to add EIN. Not looking forward to my accountant's bill when she has to process 40 corporations during tax season.

This is based on your recent experience? Or something else?

SilentHill · #12 04-13-2022

Just how I do things based on my experience. Think its better to list 1 at a time ! Until trust is built !

Robin Hood of Amazon · #13 04-13-2022

It's pretty sad that it's a bad thing when you make sales.

Can you run me your method step by step?

I'm curious...

I'm a little on the aggressive side myself but I never had issues.

@silenthill is right. I’ve found that it’s best spread sales through multiple accounts. The lower you can sale on 1 account the better until you’ve met the experienced seller requirements 25/$250

SilentHill · #16 04-13-2022

Slow and steady wins the race.

**SaiJin** · #17 04-13-2022

Well based on OP's post he's been quite slow. . .

SilentHill · #18 04-13-2022

Well since you ask. I go to Eb make a small purchase ( Eb doesn't suspend buyers ) I checkout as a guest. I input all my details on the shipping information. I complete order. EB then ask if you want to complete setting up your account. It will only ask for password. Then I wait a few days even weeks. Turn to seller account. List my first product out of price range. Make sure it doesn' t sell. List 2nd and 3rd the same way gradually increasing price but not selling product ( and waiting 3 days in between products to list ) 4th Product I try to sell for a profit. Gradually increasing price for every other product. inputting all tracking information is very important. Once they raise your limits its a good indication that EB trust you.

If you dont mind me asking did you use a vcc when checking out or a real card?

yankee · #20 04-14-2022

On your suspended accounts, have you tried calling and getting them reinstated?

SilentHill · #21 04-14-2022

the problem with suspensions of newly registered accounts is easy to solve

ebay bots stop suspending ruthlessly after about 4-6 months , I know a guy who tested it with 50+ accounts. he listed some low risk items with real descriptions and photos , something like garden supplies etc. and then started selling copyright items in quantity after about 5 months

and it worked fine , most accounts are up and running
