When to start selling heavy?

[0nelove]

I have a acc with Payoneer
(Not in the u.s. or eur)
I have successfully connected to eBay to Payoneer on oct 10

Built up cookies and listed 1st item oct 22 in it's country
Switched to u.s. first item Nov 5.
First sale Nov 15 / delivered

My old method with eBay/PayPal was :
I used to create a acc, and get a sale within a couple days.

Sell again 30 days later. And wait till acc was 3 months old from first sale
And list $100 dollar items that sell often.

HOWever this process is different and eBay like to suspend accounts during holidays

Should I wait 2 months from first sale? 3 months from first sale?
Or does the first listing matter also and I could start earlier?

To go heavy

if you sell 2 items a month and 10 items next month that would already be heavy and if you sell 30 items in the month after that it would be very heavy

Yes but after 90 days doesn't eBay system just consider it a sell ready account?

I've never really built up my sales and it's always worked.
I had one account get banned a long time ago after not selling on it for a long time. I assumed it was because of some kind of cookies/IP error
Like it got linked to one of my **** accounts.

3 months from the sale of the first item some limitations get removed but you do still need a solid selling history to be thought of as a seasons seller. So while things like promo listings will be available that wont mean you can go hell for leather on the account. Still need to take time to build that up

Listing your first item a few weeks after browsing on the account for the first time is usually still fine

Thanks for the reply.
I was quite curious how it works in current times.

In terms of how you initially start to sell not much has changed

Yes from my experience back in the eBay/PayPal stealth holiday months
eBay suspended like 2out of the 3 accounts I'd make after first listing.
After the sale of 1 item i wouldn't touch it till 30 days and list 1 more.
Then after another 30 1 more.
90 days was when I listed what I wanted to sell but all my items were $100 or under

It'll be worth the wait I guess 😂
I feel like after 30 days after 1st sale I could *sell like 5 things and I'd be alright.
Would you recommend during holiday months to sell up to 5 things ? After 30 days or just be extra cautious like I am

I have a lot of accounts right now so I don't make much anymore, but when I was I was making plenty of accounts the first half of the year with the mindset of having them ready for the holiday seasons.

It takes planning and patience and it's been working.

I sell 1-2 items first month. 2nd month start to do 1 item per 2-3 days and slowly increase.. 3rd month should be good to go

Sounds good. I feel like 30 days after a completed sale makes it safe to do more. I'll do your plan.
How many listings should I make after first month(31 days)(since all won't sell)

You're not wrong on that thought.

We certainly can give you some knowledge but only you know what you're selling so you need to make decisions on your end based on your experience most likely if that makes sense.

THere isn't really a blueprint / for sure fire guide.

A lot will also depend on what you're selling

Just DVDs, eBay doesn't really over monitor the category

Hmm, media can be risky if they are popular titles...

The bots are still roaming the site,it just may take longer around holidays.
