Hi
i need expert opinion Pls., is it wise to spend 65$ and buy one year old ebay account with zero feedback no paypal attached to it. I would be converting it into sellers account.
Thanks!

Your kind of asking for advice that would go against some of the trusted sellers on our forum out in the open ha.

I won't comment on this, sorry, for that exact reason. I will say that any eb ay account can be effective if "wisely" worked with whether 1 week old or 1 year old. 1 year old account will not be an auto-protection from suspension - you will have to nurse it back to active status.

All the best.

seems like a mod/admin states you're in pakistan, maybe you should change your flag??????

I've bought accounts before, but you need to take extra precaution and use an extended period of time to let the account marked as active again. If you change all of your information and/or listed a whole bunch of items in a short period of time, that will raise a very large red flag.

If the account doesn't have paypal then the original paypal might have been limited and if it's got 0 feedback it's not gonna be much different then a new one.

If it were me, I would buy VCC and register for new account.
That helps me understand eBay a bit more

@Bigball, good point - in this way you know your accounts inside out.

There is one benefit of using an "aged" account that nobody has mentioned! eBay has limits on the number of items that can be listed in certain categories by "New" accounts (less then 90 days)... That is not to say that you may want to list smaller numbers to start out anyway, but in some categories like software, new accounts are limited to selling a specified number of items per calender month. Something to think about! But I always like to start fresh myself!

Thats not a bad ?
But in my opinion, i prefer just starting from scratch, doin all the work myself feel me..(plus when im drivin my Masserratti down Miami Beach, i wanna b like " i did this shyt on my own)

Plus u DO have to nurture it back up to health.. cant just start selling All types of VeRo items and think everything gonna b all dandy.. might as well just spend less den half of that and get some vbas and vcc or w.e. and start fressh..but again only my opinion
