Newbie here with a few questions
 

Much like others here my account has been restricted indefinately for not meeting selling standards (I was below standard for just TWO months!).

This is the email I've had from eBay:

Unfortunately, because your seller performance is below standard under the eBay.co.uk seller performance standards programme, your selling account has been restricted. If you had any active listings before your restriction, they have been removed and your selling fees will be credited. If you recently sold an item, you'll find it in the Sold section of My eBay.

You can still get your messages in My eBay, and of course, complete any outstanding transactions with your buyers, but you won't be able to list any more items. This action doesn't affect your buying account.

Please complete any outstanding transactions with this account.


Now I'm in the process of purchasing the stealth book and start to exercise stealth, but I did have a few questions beforehand:

1) I have 3 eBay accounts in total 1 restricted, 1 standard which will fall below standard in Jan, and one old account I've never used. At this moment in time these other two accounts work - would I be advised not to touch these before I purchase the book?

2) Once I purchase the book is there a section within the forum where I can ask questions etc? As far as I can tell this is a public forum so if I was to quote some of the book and then ask for clarification this probably isnt allowed - so is there a dedicated area for these type of questions?

3) I keep coming across forum members advising making several stealth accounts - will the book clarify how many I'd need? I had around 100 listings on my account which has now been restricted with around 100 sales a week - how many accounts would I need to split my inventory on?

4) Finally how future-proof are these accounts? The last thing I'd like to do is drop prices to build feedback etc and then just get restricted again. I understand this depends on the items I'd be selling - I'd class these as low risk items just general homewares - bedding, curtains etc.

Anyhows thank you in advance for all your help.

Zak.

Before your given an answer on this question, more information is needed such as:
Are all 3 accounts in the same name, address, phone.

The forum is partially an open forum but there is a section for subscribers where you can ask questions and only those subscribed can ask and answer questions in that section.


There is no set number, everyone makes as many as they feel needed to fit their needs, take into consideration how much product you are moving but also what if those go down? On this forum there's no such thing as too many.


There was no future-proof with your legit accounts and the same goes with stealth accounts, it's all in how well you maintain your accounts. There are people on this forum who have had Stealth Accounts for years and going strong every day.


Your Welcome.
