E-bay stable business: Can it be done on stealth mode?

[Etycoon]

Hi I am done with the messing around selling vero ect.....

I am ready to build a stable ebay business I know it can be doneI have my market and suppliers but can it be done stealth ?

Why not focus on a standalone site? eBay is not the end all in ecommerce.

But yes, it can be done. But with ebay you have to deal with more then just ebay flagging you. You got pissy customers holding a gun to your head or sleazy competition. So its not bullet proof.

If you have a good product you really should have a website

Vero takes alot of hard work, but you can make good money. It's just hard work.

I think it depends a lot on your profit margins and how many stealth accounts you're working with. I mean stealth accounts can only bring it about $2000 a month, less than that actually before you need to give more info like SSN and etc.

If you've got a good product people want though and can deal with a high amount of accounts it can be done sure, why not?

Yes - just set it up properly in the first place and run it like a proper business.

Stealth is no different to 'un-stealth' - it's just a way of operating when other avenues are closed to you.

Forget VERO, forget foo-foo and run your business as a business and you shouldn't go far wrong.

Having said that the wild card is Ebay itself

Exactly, it's your business.
Plan it.
Execute it.
Suceed.

Yeah, it can be done. Just don't go making bank accounts for each new Paypal. In the long term, I would avoid any business models that involve throw-away Paypal accounts.

Please read in the section about banking etc.

You dont want to go opening tons of bank account in a short period of time.

It wont be long the banks have access to software that tells them you have opened say 10 accounts in the last 3 days.

Bam, wont be long if they want to be suspicious to get all of your accounts taken down.

I have several stable businesses on ebay from 2009 and running still today.

I dont have time to do a website or I would do that also.
