Buying 'unlimited account' from a dealer

[ash213]

So i have been offered a couple unlimited accounts from a dealer or broker.

The price is good. They say they will transfer reg details to mine.

Im not 100% if it will work properly?? They claim they phone ebay to transfer account to new registrant details and say they are 'selling' the business or such like so the transfer goes smoothly.

I just have to add a new PP.

How likely is this to mess up?

Sounds like a good deal, just scared to invest and it all to flop on me.

I know you will all say go stealth and build up...well i am on the side, i have many accounts, just none with limits that i need to run my business.

I hope you can advise,
Thanks.

To be honest, very likely. "Transfering" an account isn't as easy as just adding a new Paypal account to file.

I would steer clear.

Stop looking for short cuts and build multiple stealths quickly.

How do you know you can trust this individual?

[ash213]

surely its as risky as buying accounts from people on this forum? and changing details etc?

i cannot trust that person, no. but i would trust them as much as i would trust a seller here i suppose!!

im not looking for short cuts (ok i am)

how long do you guys usually take to build up accounts?

like...i have had accounts for a year or two and they never move on from 130 / £3800 even hitting monthly selling limits every month

The sellers here are looking to run a business. Constant customers as well as verified and monitored by the mods. Very few people have problems with accounts/sales brokered here.

The 'dealer', for all you know, could just be looking to make a quick buck.

The thing I would worry about the most is the term 'unlimited' account....

WOW changing all the details over to yours will raise flags for certain with ebay.

Also if the paypal account is limited or anything goes wrong with it, then the paypal that you add will also be toast
For all you know it already is limited and then any paypal account you add to that ebay will get shut down.

You will be linked to what ever account he puts his paypal account with..
Not a good idea to do any of this..
Something to good to be true, normally is.

Save your money and go stealth.. much better option, because then at least you know what the deal is with the account.

I have done this recently myself I bought a 'unlimited' account off a seller and although I made a mistake and got the account limited by linking to a old banned account of mine just before it got linked ebay limited the account to 155 limits per month

If you suddenly start selling on a old account that has not been getting used it will flag they account and they will at least limit the amount u can sell on the account

There is no short cuts these days with ebay I have learnt that myself

First read about stealth THEN make the decision about the "deals". You will see why stealth account is not the same as just changing info...
