10 more last night with no ill effects.
I'm going to wait until the weekend and maybe do 2 or 3 "lots"

My items are average $10 each. I have hundreds of dummy accounts. I sell my first 5 items to "myself" on these other accounts. I wait a few days and leave 5 feedbacks. Then, I start listing HUNDREDS of items daily with $10 average opening bid and $20 average BIN and never have a problem. It is getting past the first handful of feedbacks that is key.

Hundreds of dummy accounts? How can you possibly keep track?...and handle the IP address issues?
I have several accounts and do exactly as you said as far as building some initial feedback, but could never try to keep track of that many accounts...
Good for you for being able to do it

You gotta get a verizon or sprint all access card. Every time you reboot it gives you a new IP address. You just need to have multiple user profiles on your computer and you are good to go.

You gotta avoid answering emails via eBay's new email system. They actually got me for the first time in over a year by linking 6 of my accounts together doing that. The same guy from eBay called all 6 of my accounts within a half hour to tell me he was shutting me down with a cocky tone in his voice. Since he had me I decided to just talk $hit with the guy and tell him how I love using their site for free and kudos to him for catching me this time. He started making all kinds of crazy threats if I reregistered and then and I just laughed and said "catch me if you can" and hung up. That ego maniac was pissed as heck I'm sure.

Been selling again for 2 months now and with no problems. I love getting the last laugh on these clowns.

I've had a 1-year old account that I recently listed the 1st item on. Totally verified with credit card and verified PayPal account attached. It went down with a MC010 "verify identity" exactly 9 minutes after posting the 1st ever item. I think eBay is snooping out the "dormant" accounts.

I just listed 10 items for $14.95 each on a 2 week old ebay account 0 feedback, paypal verified with the $500 limit still. It's been 3 hours and no limitation yet :).

Let us know how this turns out please.:thumb:

Depending on how sophisticated their bots are it might not be a bad idea to do a little activity on so-called "dormant" accounts, if even just watching and putting a few bids in right after an item is listed so that you will for sure be outbid.

12 hours later and still no limitation and already have watchers. I'm going to post another 20 items today see what happenes.
