Keep it slow, I hear this a lot with a new Stealth account

[Ebay.slayer]

Hi All,

I hear the word keep sales slow, with a new account, what is considered slow?
selling in Health/Diet supplements market, do ebay get nervous even though I have uploaded tracking numbers with all sales(Can the hit you with a suspension)?

Also sending with tracking numbers is a killer on the profits, how long until I can send normal First class post?

1month?, 2 months?, 3months?

Confused HELPPPPP!

Thanks

Anyone???? care to input?

Depends on price, for cheap stuff (under 15 euros) maybe maxium 7 or 8 items per day for first month. For more expensive stuff then maybe 1-2 items a day at 50e a day and so on

Have at least 5 accounts waiting in the wings is the best policy

Keep one in good health one you can try and sell a bit faster and take a chance

Are tracking numbers vital? I had a account blocked once because I done £1000 in 1 week on a new account, then they suspended the account and said that I need to show proof of postage/tracking info etc.....
And it was a legit account!!! was gutted.

Did they close it because you couldn't provide tracking

Yeah..... don’t bump your own thread after one hour of posting....

Back to the topic

I go slowly over 6 weeks to 3 months but I am not selling in your category.

That category can be a bit elitist....older sellers may stalk newer accounts.

And eBay will watch too.

My method is generally this

Register Account
Do a little browsing / Watch some items / Ask a few questions to sellers

After 3 days of the above
List first item - Generally a used book, 7 day auction

Give that 3 days to start appearing on eBay, I always do a really crappy listing, bad pics, bad description. You want to make ebay think you are genuinely a newbie.

Another used product that I have no intention of selling, a little higher in price, maybe $30-$50 - 7 Day Auction

If all good and no account issues, usually its been two weeks, I will list my first 'proper item'. I am a dropshipper so I chose something from a supplier near me, this listing is a little better, still with a quantity of 1 but the first 'new' item I list.

Wait a few days and if still no account issues I will start increasing the amount of items by 1 or 2 each day, having a break every now and then. I am happy to do this for a month or two (as I grow multiple accounts simultaneously).)

Once I get to 10 items sold and feedback received I think I am generally in the clear after 90 days I think its up to me to stuff up to get a suspension/restriction.

I will list 10 plus items a day after 90 days.

I do purchase most of my accounts so selling limits aren't of a concern for me. If I were to grow an account from scratch I would be calling towards the end of the second month where I have started to get tracking saying delivered and postitive feedback received.

There is no such thing as going too slow

I try to avoid any contact with ebay as I mainly use cake details it costs me money to provide them with the info they want.

they usually mc011 if you sell to much but it is unpredictable.
I got mc011 on a 4 month acc with 70 feedback yesterday.
People say after 12 month an acc is "safe" from mc011 but i heard ppl are getting mc011 after 16 month.
make many accs. every 2nd will survive
