1 Month old Ebay account, Can I open multiple accounts ?

[mercurial333]

So I have this Ebay account with real info for about 1 month now.

I have 100/5000$ limit, but I'm category limited.

Can I open multiple Ebay accounts with the same info/name ?


I head before, that is ok to have more than 1 Ebay account, however I'm a new seller, and with opening multiple ebay accounts I could get around the category limit of 1 per 30 days. Is it allowed?


I don't sell "funny" stuff.

Nope.

Same info will get the "total" limits.

Make more accounts with different info, IP, user account etc.

Hehe I figured it wouldn't be that easy

The reason is if one goes down they all will follow.

Buy the book to learn how to build yourself a nice group of stealth accounts.

It is not worth it to do all that work for it to all be gone if something happens.

Mess around on your stealth accounts. Grow your real account nice and slow, take it easy. No need to go 100% stealth until you're forced to.

Not sure what you mean, I bought the book quite a while ago.

Well the problem is I have 50+ products to sell, but I'm category limited.

I listed 1, can't even edit price to lower it, so that it sells already. But then even if it sells, I can't list anything for another almost 30 days.


Theoretically I'd need 30+ accounts .


Anyway I will just wait the 90+ days, and hopefully operate at almost full potential around the Xmas time, with aprox. 3 real accounts and 1 stealth.

But if I was able to make multiple accounts with the same name and be able to list 1 item on each, and just use the same Paypal, that would have been convenient, no money would have been needed. But 1 stealth is like, 15$ vcc + 10$ phone, + 10$ top up card, + VBA possibly like 18$, not to mention I pay like 18% fees i Ebay item sells, compared to 8% on Amazon.

Sorry I did not see that you purchase the book.

Then you should have been making multiple accounts to spread your items out and have no limitations.

Good luck.

Well I have two for now, and planned on making two more real accounts, been just busy lately.

As I said, probably around Xmas if all goes these will operate at full potential.

You want to have them aging by the holiday selling season so try to find time to get them made and get some time behind them.
