How Many Sleeper Accounts

[jerry]

I want to create several sleeper accounts but should I make one every 2-3 days or one every week? Or it doesn't matter?

[cardfelon]

You can make 100 per day and you would be fine. The key to making them last is making sure that you do everthing exactly as outlined in the stealth guide. Also keep track of everything so you don't get any accounts crossed up.

you need to browse on them regularly, the bots are out to cut inactive accounts as soon as they list something.

Yeah, I start buying things on my inactive accounts to activate them, a few days later I list a couple of small items, then 2 more days later I list my usual. Although this is a bit rushed, it works well so far.

[imjustme]

2 days is definitely rushed. I recommend activity for 1 month before selling.

I did what you guys said and surfed around for a couple of minutes on four six month old 10 FB sleepers. Then a week later listed 10 to 15 on each... same as always, calm. Now that's two on one PP. No limited listing emails either.

Nice work - couple of minutes daily?

I know, bad habit really now, wait for pasta to cook, so make a sleeper while I wait, watch favourite soap opera, make a sleeper while I watch - terrible filthy habit..

Lol that's a good habit. I keep procrastinating instead of making sleepers, so when one account goes down I'm still like "****, could have had a few to back it up", instead I only have like 2.

By the way, do you guys all out verify them right away or do you just leave them unverified and verify when you start using them?

[ebayism]

do you guys all out verify them right away or do you just leave them unverified and verify when you start using them?

^^^ Good question curious as well^^^

[oompaloompa]

Ive done both,

but right now favour adding a card and buying on it first......

v#Verify them from the get-go. In fact I make a paypal account first,verify it, use it off ebay. Then attach the paypal to the ebay and play

don't forget I am pretending to be a new ebayer

[Ace717]

I'm fresh off reading the stealth ebook. I want to start harvesting sleepers like a made man. From reading what you guys/ladies do, I was thinking of making a sleeper account on eBay buying something and when it gets to checkout making a paypal through eBay link. Wouldn't this make me look like a new ebayer??

[holymoly]

Hey Mark, don't forget to tell people to sell some ebook on eBay to get a few seller feedback before posting a rampage of 3-4 items (yes that little).

[rsot]

Selling an ebook on eb ay is not a great idea for gaining feedback - you can get shutdown if not now, later. Be careful on this advice.

Do you verify all your sleepers using a physical bank account?
that could be a LOT of bank accounts

[GreenBean]

@cortex, Yes. I use real bank accounts.

[cortex]

@GreenBean™: wow you must have a LOT of bank accounts

[veggiegymrat]

yeah, the bank account thing is a problem for me too. I don't want to have 10 open bank accounts that I'm not really using since they're linked to sleeper accounts...

[cortex]

^^Same here...but more so because in UK they're quite strict on how many bank accounts you can have - quite unlikely i'll ever get 10 current accounts at any one time...I'd be lucky to have 2 lol!
