Hello all!
I am writing on behalf of my grandmother. My mother and I started doing eBay 10 or so years ago, bought a lot of stuff and sold a few things here and there. My grandmother moved in with us years ago and we introduced her to ebaying. My grandmother has always loved going to yard sales, and it brought great joy to her to be able to buy things at yard sales and resell them on ebay. She's been on ebay a good 5 (at least) years.
She got suspended out of the blue without warning for low DSRs.
Low ratings
(1s and 2s)
Item as described 4.78 2.20% (6)
Communication 4.95 0.00% (0)
Shipping time 4.96 0.00% (0)
Shipping and handling charges 4.78 0.73% (2)
She wrote a hand written letter to ebay (old lady, old school ways
) and they emailed her telling her she was welcome to still buy on ebay (gee thanks a lot) but would no longer be able to sell.
I understand that is mostly her fault but I hate how ebay always takes the buyer's side no matter what. They also don't properly explain to buyers what a low rating will do to sellers... maybe if they knew it could get someone kicked off ebay and severely limit their income they'd think twice?
Anyway. My grandmother is retired and really enjoyed ebay as both a hobby and source of income. She obviously isn't getting this account back and my mom's account was banned from selling due to having the same IP address. Both paypal accounts are fine, btw. I want to help her with stealth. I am all set to buy the book, but I have a few questions:
She has a son who lives at her old address, which is right down the street. Ideally, I'd like to register it to this address? Or does that even matter?
Basically, I want to make this as non-complicated as possible... does stealth cause a lot to keep up with, etc? She isn't going to be able to keep up with a lot, like multiple names, addresses, bank accounts, etc. Is there a fairly easy way to help her that she will be able to keep up with or is it all pretty technical?
I'm tired so that's it for now, but I'm sure I will have more questions when I get some rest
Thanks all.
