Low Risk Listings

[Rom Tittenhouse]

Hello, what kind of items do people recommend listing for a new stealth store? I make print on demand stuff so probably not best to lead with that. I know its technically ok with the terms but I think it's higher on their radar so I'm thinking start with something else and then change the store after it's approved.
Easy to list a home made craft but it actually has to sell once or twice to get your store approved. What do you do?

Going cheap is a good idea to get sales quickly. I hadn't thought of that. But it will have to look like I made it myself.

Nothing is 100% certain but it decreases the chances...

I might try making some simple digital downloads with cute stuff. Much less work and shows that the seller is making something of their own.

Not sure if digital download is the way to go for initial listings though

I'm amazed at things I see for sale on there nowadays... have they laxed the "homemade" requirement?

It's actually what I thought to use for initial, planning something different once approved. Will let you know if it works.

Are you suuure you only need to sell 1 or 2 items to get "approved" on their side? In my experience it is 10-20 items and then they block you. Can someone confirm this? Because I think it used to be 1-2 items but not now.
