Warming account or listing straight away?
 

Hi does it make sense to think that by now eBay already know how stealth account wait a while before listing? Assuming I am genuinely new to ebay and I did a course or I am following a tutorial on YouTube. Won't I just list straight away? Based on that logic is it worth waiting for 2 weeks to list or just list for now?

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

Why don’t you open 2 stealth accounts and on one list straight away and on the other warm it up by browsing their website, maybe do a small purchase. Then tell us your experience.

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

you can list straight away , warming up will not change anything

if the system puts a restriction or suspension it will not be because you did not warm up

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

does this apply to business ebay i have warmed it before and still got busted. This time am not sure thats y i am asking. I have experience both and warming and not warm didnt save them so not sure which way to swing this time

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

you just try all over again , don't listen to some people here who tell you that suspension/restriction on new accounts happens only with people who don't know what they are doing

it is indeed a vast majority of new ebay accounts in the uk which get a so called welcome suspension or restriction , possibly even every single account

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

lot of other experiences reported by other members here

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

That advice is the worst one you can give, all the people who complain on here that the accounts are suspended immediately are the ones who list straight away.

I am not a lover of Hank on here, but I have to agree with him that your advice is generally flawed and damaging to people who joined our community.

Generally the account gets busted as the stealth is not adequate enough to beat the AI bots used by eBay. Warming up an account is really necessary as they do browser fingerprinting so they see the activity that you are doing on their website.

Ok I have both personal and business. The personal got suspended like 2 hrs after I opened it so I asked ebay to close the account then they apologised and asked me the usually selling questions and reinstated it so am going to warm it up cos am not in a rush really. The business one have been fine I've placed an order and got my first feed back no issues. Guess am going to warm them up. Thanks for the advice

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

when you say they apologized, was it by call or by email?

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

they sent an email to call them. prior to that they won't let me talk to anyone just their automated chat. when i requested a call thru the email the first thing she said was sorry i misunderstood them that it is standard but it was blocked anyway they reinstated it now am scared to even use it. she was like i should go list so i said am not ready am doing a training.

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

Depends on what you view as a restriction. For example my most recent account that is now currently working very strong got restricted shortly after I opened the account asking for my photo ID. Then later my payments were restricted asking for proof of business. I view that differently than I would view a MC0999 restriction, as those are much harder to get. However I think these restrictions asking for personal information will be much more common on new accounts moving forward.

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

so warming both accounts whats best to do. i have ordered from the business one and i have some brand new children clothes that i can list. do you recommend i wait till the 1st of oct to list them for auction on both accounts. i only opened them 2 days ago

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

first of all, before you jump the gun, share how you made your accounts. Step by step and in detail.

And I have to ask, did you actually read the stealth guide?

Re: Warming account or listing straight away?
 

I have used the stealth guide and also bought account here several times always get busted either immediately for selling too quick or after 1 year due to mc011. But this time I did both account this way.
Business account
Real Middle name and last name
Address I use my unit where I store my stock and run business from
Same DOB
I used my Barclays they can accept fraction of your name for payments
New mobile number
Used mobile tethering for wifi
I've order one digital prod and received feedback that's it

Personal account used
First and middle name
My normal home address
I've not added payment but am planing on using my Halifax account
Used mobile tethering for WiFi
New number as well. It has already passes first suspension but I've not done anything there.
I can verify both easily even if I get hit with mc011 because I have my stock with invoices but I still want to dropship.
