Is it really worth the Hassle??

[FrancisK]

It's only a hassle if you are doing things wrong. If you are smart, play by their rules and take care of your business then it is well worth it.

[sammybabe]

Yes it is worth it but i dont believe for 1 minute the B******t stories of making x,y and z a month.
1 man bands just dont.
And if they did the tax/vat bill would be enormous per year.
Just cant see it myself.
Thats my opinion

[GrannyT]

That's because you are viewing things you read from your perspective.

If you think outside the box you may well get a different view and a better understanding.

I know at least 3 people on this forum who make 5 figure profits per month from their stealth activities

You can make 6 figure's a month by just using some basic math skills and if your tax is enormous than your earnings are enormous, is this thread geared toward kindergartners or what? I don't get it...

There were two people who looked at a problem

One said it couldn't be done

One said it could be done

They were both right

When you can understand what that is saying you will be half way there

Luckily that's only your opinion.

Why do you moan in every thread?

No one thing about ebay or amazon is easy. Never has been. Never will be.

For those forced to stealth mode it is harder.

Mainly users put their heads down and work their butts off.

The b***dust is your repeated claims things are not happening, users not making money

They do. They really do.:D

[jamblix]

It's worth it if you can do it right, just like anything. It sounds to me like your just being lazy and want to hear a resounding "no it's not worth it" from the mass to get away from doing it.

This business from what I've learned if you do enough research, pay attention to detail and work at it you'll make money a "good" amount of money.

[jbluntz]

Yeah research is probably the main thing then once you've got a product line it's all pretty much basic math after that.

10 accounts $1,000 per month = $10,000

100 accounts $1,000 per month = $100,000
(that's 10 accounts every 3 days = 30 days)

Might be alot of work to run 100 accounts a month but still not impossible

10-20 is plenty for me which after they're established is not much work at all really.

[LoopHole]

Take your chance while you have it.

[Gman91189]

Actually No its not.. dont bother with stealth its too hard leave it alone go get a job at Mcdonalds and let me "suffer" from home and watch my money pile up
One less person i have to worry about competition.. any1 else feels this is too hard PLEASE dont hesitate and just stop doing it..

[kpizzl]

It is even better when you have a client list of emails for buyers who are interested in purchasing more when they run out of said product. No fees!!. I even got a few to pay through google checkout.

A man has 2 best friends, a dog and a return customer

[rsot]

...when they run out eh? That's good repeat business - if you can get it.

Now you know why I call your BluntzCASH.

Here is my story

I started on EB with 2 real info accounts many years ago but left those accounts to finish school and get a BA in Economics. After I completed school, I worked for a large investment bank up until late 2008 when I got laid off. Now the only work I can find are jobs that pay $8-9/hour even with a BA.

I restarted selling on EB with computer parts but got in trouble with selling "stuff" that I wasn't allowed to sell. Anyways, I learned my lesson but both accounts got nailed in the process, so I had to go stealth 100%.

I found this site in the process on looking for real things to sell. I posted things and have helped out with what I know and have been given help with what people know. In all that time I finally found stuff to sell from closed-out business in my local area, there is tons of those where I live.

In the mean time, I get going with making some stealth account but they always get banned within 30min of my first listing by the EB auto bots, it could be some mistake I am making but don't know it yet, I am still experimenting with things, until I find the answer. But I bought 6 accounts from a seller on here and sell on one of those plus 2 stealth's from a friend of my. From the 3 stealth accounts that I currently sell on I only make $200-400 profit per week but it's enough to pay my student loans.

I make more with selling then working 8 hours a day at my real stupid job. Real job 8 hours, EB selling 2 hours/day. But once I figure out my mistakes and my accounts are fully matured I plan to really hit the city close-out auctions.

The only thing I need to do is take it slow, like my mom told me "take this selling thing like a woman, take it slow....". I hate when parents are right.

Oh and is it worth it for me to sell on EB, "HELL YA!!"

To be continued........

I'm with you Gman - actually, thinking about it, it is too much hassle. I would advise anyone reading here to forget all about trading on Ebay.

McDonalds are offering fantastic career opportunities and I would advise anyone thinking of selling on Ebay to forget it and approach McDonalds

Gary Player said "the more I practice the luckier i seem to get".

I am absolutley grateful for the advice on this forum. Although eb/PP have caused me some problems I enjoy what i do. Having a familly circumstance that mean i have to be at home means anything I make from home is a very welcome bonus.

To all the Positive people in this thread and on this forum I am extremely grateful Thank you

It's a lot of work but can be done. Last month I had $125,000 in sales half which was profit . Mostly why I'm not as active in the forum. To get to the point, what people make a year I alone can do in a month!

[jbluntz]

So you should be able to kick back for a while now, you should make a youtube video so we can see your stuff in action.

When you get money held by paypal etc,Buyers who are To**ers and want to rip you off.
You have to think why bother?
I have a shop and never get any hassle like i do online with Ebay.
So i think to myself knock it on the head.
Any body agree or will i get knocked down!!!!

Unfortunately, most people do not have the assets to open their own shop and market it...

I love to hear that TizWoz

I've spent the last 4 hours reading ALL your post, haha. Seems like you have a reputation as the PP expert.

When you say 26k net, I'm guessing that is from the 2 accounts (not 32) correct?

Here's why I'm asking that question. I'm an Internet Marketer who sells Digital Products that are downloaded within one minute after a buyer Pays via PP.

I've had days when I made over $30,000.00 and in one week made over $60,000.00

95%+ is pure Profit.

Last year PP "Limited" my account from that 60k week and held my money for 90 days. Initially it was 180 but my lawyer got it down to 90 days.

I'm FORCED to use PayPal because the website I use to sell my products ONLY accepts PayPal.

I don't want to ever go thru that nightmare again. That PP account has since been closed.

I had to do something to get back in the game, didn't know about this site. Didn't understand PP either.

If I were to create (let's say 30 PP accounts) how much money can I run thru a newbie account?

How much can I "withdraw" percentage wise without a Red Flag with paypal.

How long should I wait to make my 1st withdrawal?

I've heard no more than 30% but that's just rumor.

I have 20 people TODAY that want to send me $500 each. This is a brand new PP account (real, not stealth).

How can I get PP to accept $10,000 in the next 48 hours (brand new account this week, no transactions yet) without them Limiting my account and giving me Ulcers?

I just purchased eBay Stealth last night, read the whole PDF once. Plan to read it again today. I can understand just about everything that's needed to create stealth accounts except using different names.

When I did 60k in less than 5 days PP demanded everything from me including naked pics of my wife. I thought the rubbish would never STOP with the paperwork. It literally took a week to resolve.

My account rep also told me that PP doesn't like Internet Marketers who sell Digital Downloads. Gave me the whole 9 yards about Invoices and all that tracking crap.

I said "lady, I sold 1,000 digital downloads at $60 each in 48 hours, how the heck to I send 1,000 invoices IMMEDIATELY?"

I know it sounds crazy, but I have to figure this out. I have no choice.

Any advice would be truly appreciated.

Roscoe

P.S. Sorry for the long post but you seem to know a LOT about PayPal.
