FIRST EBAY&PayPal Sell ADVICES,TIPS,etc...

[mgklaceup]

Hi!
I’m new on the forum, I come here because my last experience with ebay and paypal was awful and I want some advices for my first sell in my new ebay and paypal account...
I’ll start telling you my last experience...
I have a LV handbag that I purchase 2 years ago, I used to need the money very quickly for the college tuition and I had to sell it on ebay. I create the ebay account with no problems, then I create and link my paypal account also with no problems I associate my credit card to paypal to get a verify account and all of this with NO PROBLEM. the auction ends in 1,300 USD and the buyer pay me very quickly,

I recibe the payment on paypal, I accept it and then I just get frozen my paypal account, with no reason then I went to look at my ebay account and was suspended too, NO REASON! I was asked for a lot of questions by paypal like they need to verify my id,etc I do all they want and nothing happend I call them and they tell me that my account will be frozen for 180 days, WTF???

I was forced to refund the money to the buyer and find other way to get the tuition money.

Now I have to sell the bag again.I create a new paypal account with my sister info and her credit card info, also an ebay account with her info... I have everything ready for listing the bag but it is advisable to sell it at $800 usd? I don’t want a frozen account again so I reduced the price from $1,300 to $800 usd. Even with this change I'm a red flag for paypal in my first transaction? PLEASE GIVE ME SOME HELP !!!

First off I would not use your sisters info unless you plan on getting her in trouble...why not just go completely stealth?

To answer your question, LV is probably THE biggest item that will raise red flags to eBay. Is the bag authentic or PHAKE? Even is the bag is real I would say you need to show the LV receipt up close and take VERY detailed pictures of everything. I wouldn't even recommend selling any Louis Vuitton within the first 90 days even if it is real. If you want to keep this account active and live for some time I would not list it right off the bat.

Good luck to you and wish you the best. I would recommend picking up the eBay Stealth Book no doubt.
