Browse around first - add items to watch list - buy things (holdhold products, packaging materials).
With 10 items a month limit you should list a few stuff perhaps used items which you no longer need, cloths, cables, toilet seats? lol - i'm sure you get the idea.
Start off slow - act like your a new guy to this whole e/b world, hit your limits every month aswell.
So your limit is 10/500 make you sure sell upto your limit i'd recommend trying to hit 10 on the items rather 500 on your first month.
Is your p/p verified yet?

And try not to use old pictures you may have used in the past, as they can link you to your old accounts and other users for that matter.
These days too many people just copy pictures.
If your planning to use your old pictures i'd google exif removal software, you can then re-use them.
Although i'd go for completely new pictures for peace of mind |

As Thankful suggested there's a role to play as a new( Stealth) user.
Wise move to have paypal verified. Well received by both ebay & paypal.
Use whatever ebay has given you. Understand that going along with ebay will help your business to expand.
If it's 10 items then ensure you sell them.
Not sure why you had to be stealth but ensure that any errors of yours are not carried forward to these accounts.
Of course, even with 2 accounts have an excel sheet of your info. Be as professional as possible.
And, try to enjoy your selling. A positive attitude goes far.

Good to experiment as well if unsure - you may find other loopholes that are unknown to the masters...maybe.

70 photos is easy.
I just took over 250 pics for 7 different accounts, different color backgrounds, angles etc.
It pays to play. |

Slapped is extremely talented in what he does.
I do not suggest a newbie do this as Slapped is a pro and knows what he is doing.

At some point a `newbie`becomes a pro by playing big boy tactics - now might be the time.
