wait-time on a new account
 

Does anyone know what the safe wait-time is before opening a new account? After I change my IP I usually just do it right away and sometimes it gets suspended, so I don't know if that has anything to do with maybe putting it up directly after the other has been blocked.

I usually start listing right away, but never more than 3 per day and I always leave a day in between to cool down.

do you list brand name items?

no; I list items that are crafted by me.

Does it matter if you sell name brand stuff?

I stink so. They're tougher on those.

Do you mean waiting time after changing your IP address? Which doesn't make sense, or wait time to creating auctions after you create your account?

The later I'd say give it a day or two. And sell based on the risk factor. If your item is high risk, then sell slowly, if not then you can sell faster.

I have allowed 2 weeks on new accounts to start selling High Risk Items. Like Aspkin mentioned, start off slow. I have limited myself to 7 items per week per account. I am having great success running multiple accounts per week. I believe that some brand items are more risk than others.

I waited 2 months. Bought an item here and there. Started another account just recently and will let it sit for a while.

With my account that I have going on, I waited 3 days and then listed only 5 one day and waited 3 days and listed another 5. It is still going. And my items are stuff that I make too.

I think the the key is listing slowly at first as mentioned above. Brand items will have to take some skill for those are the ones with the most problems.

It's funny, my first ever account where I started listing 6+ items every day, never stopped a day in between, from the first second on, is still going..
