Re: What is a good amount to start with?
I recommend starting sales like this_
first week 5 articles 1 for each day. price less than $50
second week 2 to items per day no more than 100 $
third week if you already have sales, raise prices and list 3 per day or 5 daily |

| still feels like a too-short-period-push - first week idea is good but let sales end and shipments go out - third week no more than 100 dollars and so on |

Very slow to start with, which is frustrating |

Planning on starting with $100-200 items to grow the account. Is this a good idea? limit on account is $5000 and paypal is verified.
| I'd recommend selling inexpensive unbranded/household items (e.g. shirts/socks) at a loss to begin with, at least until you meet the criteria for faster payouts, which is usually 10 successful sales amounting to £150.
This will establish trust with eBay.
Make sure you ship the sold items with tracking and on time, untracked shipments raise flags in my experience! |

How long does it take from the first sale for the money to stop being blocked? |

| It's not simple to answer - depends on business model, item being sold, security flags being "tripped", etc I would say |

| I understand, but I would like to understand: is this even possible, or will there always be problems that prevent us from doing so? |
