How long could an account last in this situation?

[dune]

I know that this question could sound silly but not for me please:

-Create a new stealth account
-No bank account added
-List items

How long would the eBay account last (with GTC items renewing) under each scenario?

1.Don't have sales

2.Have sales but don't ship

It does sound silly as you thought it would
I really don't know how long that sort of setup would last. Perhaps you should consider sacrificing a pair of accounts to find out if the result of your research is worth it.

How do you plan to sell without a payment method setup in place anyway?

EDIT: just noticed this thread is in the MP section so what you're proposing is not possible.

Yes, under M.P. And what about putting a bank account with an IBAN generator?

And I go further, could I sell on eBay.com if my account is registered in Spain or will they ask for ID docs instantly?

Not really, I guess that in new created accounts (going directly to M.P.) you can put items for sale without having to add payment method. Other matter would be if any of the items are sold. Then, what if after a possible sale I still don't add a bank account?, could I keep listing?. I don't mind where the money would go as I won't ship anything.

I know this could sound strange but I have my reasons

My understanding is that you would at least need a US bank account which accepts USD in order to list on .com with a foreign account in MP.

Being registered in "eBay Europe" you can list on eBay.com without problems (they charge a little additional fee for item sold but you can.

What I am asking is if they request to upload ID docs instantly (despites not having any sale) in order to sell in eBay.com

you can sell without attached bank account on MP personal account. Although I don't know why someone would do that but it is possible until a threshold is reached and ID is requested , most likely all payouts will be put on hold at the same time

Thank you. Have you tried to sell on eBay.com?, aside the extra fee for selling outside Europe I have been told that eBay would request uploading ID immediately. But even if you don't have any sales??

they request only the ID number , however if you do not place a bank on file you won't be able to withdraw and if you place a bank of file you will have limited withdrawal capabilities as you will still be asked for be verified

I didn't hear about the threshold ask for ID
Are you sure ? Is written in somewhere?

[murdered_by_ebay]

it is similar to the paypal receiving limit
