NON-high risk category...am I good to go?
 

I just got my stealth account all setup (using the book) and am all set to go. My question is, If list in a category that "I believe" is very low risk, house hold good...I sale wedding items like napkins, tablecloths, chair covers etc. do I still need to let the account sit for a month or two? My average sale is $150-$200 however I have lower priced items I could list for $15-$50. Should I start with those first?

Yes start with the low price items first. Yes, go slow - buy a few things, don't just list right away - I would recommend 3 weeks'ish but some folx have been succeeding by starting up from the get-go. Still, that's risky.

Definitely the low priced stuff first.

And like rsot said...buy some items. Get your shipping supplies and such.

I usually wait about 2-3 weeks before I list my 1st item. Usually something trivial from around the house, then wait a couple days and add another trinket or 2.

Just go slow and steady with buying and selling.

You'll be fine. :thumb:

Also, if this is your main business and you intend to keep at this for a long time, I would suggest you set up auxiliary accounts - spread your sales. Not only will you have more accounts with excellent standing, if one account goes down then you won't be stuck in a bind with restarting. I remember your other thread about 2 accounts (I think) - think along those lines and spread wide.

Throw some books, and other low risk various items from other catigories in there. mix it up a little.
