Sell fictive items to myself

[dealagreeproceed]

let us know how it all goes... expect bumps n bruises and maybe some great success...

eBay's bots are VERY good (and I mean VERY) at spotting PATTERNS.

eBay is excellent when it comes to Statistical Analysis. Don't underestimate their machine learning capability of identifying patterns.

You might very well get away with a one off purchase of buying from yourself- maybe, but do it again and you'll be certain there will be a link. That one link combined with other links will create a hard link.

Go ahead, if you think you can outsmart them.

Things like the 99p / $1 store are a much better place to get items that you can sell for a small loss but in doing so build up a lot of feedback. Sometimes you can even turn a profit!

Also instead selling electronics who can malfunction , he will better sell socks, ties... very easy to earn feedback and just enough money to pay an escort as a reward for your effort

fish food is a good example to easy make some money and tons off feedback, buy in bulk and resell online. it's a huge market for it. fish tank decorations,etc.

Work on building multiple accounts as well.

A nice idea would be selling first like 5-10 items that go for 99 cents, and after that, another 5 - 10 items that are like 10 - 20 usd each. That would create strong and very organically looking account.

Better lo loose some 20 - 30 bucks on selling at a loss, and getting a good account, rather than trying to sell some risky garbage and getting yourself suspended in the end. There are no cutting corners in stealth.
