got reinstated! now what?
 

I just received this message from eBay:

Thank you for writing to eBay in regard to your account suspension.

I appreciate the information that you have sent, and I have reviewed the
details of this suspension. In light of additional information that has
been submitted and a new review, it has been decided to reinstate this
account.

I am glad that I have had the opportunity to reinstate this account, and
I hope that your future experiences on eBay are pleasant and successful.


Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Reggie



Now- I just want to know if there are any tips for me from this point forward.

I am not going to log into this acct until tomorrow, so by then I can change my IP address and erase all cookies.

Does it matter if I list a whole bunch of things at once? or should i slowly list my items back up?

I have some items that I list with buy it now, should I just run a few buy it now auctions on lower priced items?

I still want to move forward with ideas people have provided here in case the acct gets suspended again. I know now not to put all of my eggs in 1 basket.

I have a feeling of slight relief right now, but it sucks to know that eBay can suspend an acct. to anyone at anytime for no good reason.

CONGRATS.. BUT< beware...They'll be Watching... :)

I was reinstated this month after being suspended for about 5 weeks. Prior to my suspension I had on average 500-700 VERO items listed. This is my 3rd week of being reinstated and I am up to 450 listings now ...all buy it now. I did notice that my weekly VERO listing limitation has decreased to about 50% but I also notice that it is being raised every week. Its really business as usual for me except I make sure I do not make the mistake of breaking any listing rules.
You mentioned "I have a feeling of slight relief right now, but it sucks to know that eBay can suspend an acct. to anyone at anytime for no good reason.". I think most ebayers that gets suspended know exactly what they did wrong, however you think it may be unfair to get suspended over, its just our view and it obviously does not deter trust and safety from suspending the account. Just make sure not to break their rules and you should be fine.

thanks for sharing your experience, hepper.

do you guys think it makes any difference if i use buy it now auctions? or if i list? 3 day auctions? or 7? or does that not matter in this situation.

thanks

OK. Way to Go. But "Go Slow". Take the advice of the others and do not rush
in. Sad to say you are {still} under scrutiny. In that, if you go outside of an
unknown boundary, you get suspended again.

Hepper:
You are able to list 450 VERO items.. I want to buy that acct from you!!!

when listing Ver*

1. Is it ok to use stock photos?
2. More than 10 available in 1 listing?
3. 30 day listings?
4. Relist button?

Or should you treat it as get the listing sold and out of there as fast as you can? I feel like I've read somewhere that you shouldn't list ver* in huge quantity but it now auctions over and over again, because thats how the big competition sells there products and those are the ones that they like to complain to ebay about to get there competition out of the way. Makes since to me and when I check listings it seems theres way more auction listings than buy it now, as if the majority of sellers have caught on not to sell that way. Any suggestions?

Go slow with the listings as if it is a newish kind of account.

Then after say 20 sales and when feedback starts coming in you can pick up your selling pace.

Best of luck.
