ebay store on new account
 

wondering if opening an ebay store on a new account would be a safer way to get about 600 unique items up and running fairly quickly. i'm selling art and not so risky household items.

It would certainly be more cost effective, but not so sure about listing so many items right away on brand new account, even when not selling Vero.

Yes, running a store will save you quite a bit of money. But that's way to many items to list on a new account. Maybe you should spread them out over a few accounts?

not doing it because of cheap listing fees... the final value fee is high. i know my items sell good in store format at longer durations waiting for the right customer to come along and make a large purchase. what if i built up my active listings such as adding 50 items a month.

Does anyone deal with this many auctions at once that can share from experience?

I know there is a minimum amount of fb you have to have in order to get a store and that you have to be PayPal verified. Maybe a few more requirements, can't remember off the top of my head.

"Before you decide to open an eBay Store:

Review seller requirements - To open an eBay Store you must meet the following requirements:
You must have an eBay seller's account, with your credit card placed on file and either 20 Feedback or ID Verify.
You must have a Verified Premier PayPal account."

thanks for that! the id verify.. I haven't had an ebay account in my name suspended but I've had credit cards/bank accounts with my name used on suspended accounts... will this link? maybe not if i just drop my first name and use my middle or some combination...?
