What is a good amount to start with?

[yobar]

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

Keep it low risk and do your best to slowly build you got this.

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

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!

Dollar shop items work to start as well

if he sells low price $10 and later $100-$200,Ebay will notice,as he is selling way out of his range,he should raise it to $50-$100.
