nebuspp | 01-17-2012 11:20 AM | Can I make it BIG? Hello everyone,
I just recently purchased the stealth book because I knew that an "insurance policy" is a must if I plan on taking eBay seriously. Although I am a solid verified eBay/PayPal account that is a couple years old, I know that I can get banned at anytime for any reason depleting my source of income.
I am planning on making stealth accounts after I have read and re-read the book a few times and understand the concepts really well so I have backups ready to rock if/when I get limited.
So I started selling a month and a half ago for profits and have accumulated over 200 sales and over 100 positive feedback with no negatives and only 1 neutral. I have had 0 buyer protection cases...however, because of returns and other reasons, I have had a numerous amount of cases that I opened myself to get back my seller fees. From my knowledge, these do not have an impact on my account aside from refunded seller fees. Can someone confirm this is correct?
All my customers are extremely happy, and it is quite noticeable by my feedback. Not to brag or anything, but the feedback I am receiving is personable and quality feedback and show that I genuinely made the customers extremely happy if you just read it and compare it to any other random seller.
Currently, I have 130/$6500 limits on this account. First item was sold 2 years ago but no heavy selling until early December. I started with 100/$5000 limit and I made a call to eBay where I successfully got put on "Automatic monthly evaluation" and got a bump to 130/$6500 during the call.
My dashboard shows that I am qualified to become a Bronze Powerseller and a Top Rated Seller. All my DSR are 4.9 and 5.0s. I am selling low risk low dollar items (well under $100).
I have already reached my limit 2 weeks into this month. The representative told me last month that I will be evaluated on the 18th of each month and will get an increase if my account has grown and is in good standing...he said increases can be anywhere from 0% to 100%.
I am really anxious for tonight as it will define my next month until my next evaluation. I feel that I have done almost everything positive to have a good impact on my account since the past month. I am hoping to get a big bump...maybe no limits :D
From reading my account story so far, can anyone take any educated guesses based on previous experience as to what my increase will be for this month and possible up coming months? My main concern is when I will be able to sell without holding myself back by limits.
Will keep you guys posted!
P.S. Before anyone says anything, I will NOT spread my sales over ANY accounts besides this one. Don't want to jeopardize a 100% LEGIT account connected to a PayPal credit card and my SSN.
At least for now :bounce: |
