Sell iPhones on a Stealth Account

[markstall96]

So heres the thing. For the past year I have been trying to find a reputable iPhone supplier. WHich I have found and just received 100 iPhone 4s Factory unlocked 32gb and 64gb models. BUT in this past year I have also been suspend off of ebay. Ive been using a stealth account for about 2 months now selling about 10 otter boxes per month. I am just wondering if it is save for my stealth account to sell iPhones like these. Like will paypal limit me for the amount of money that is coming it and will ebay start to get suspicious or what?

Let me know, Thankssss!

2 months is quite unlikely to be solid for iPhone sales - might be best to consider your own website for this.

I would prob ring up eB and discuss directly to let them know about your account otherwise...it's DANGEROUS:

Ok but isn't also bad to call ebay or is that a myth on this website? And how long do you think I should wait before selling these iPhones on Ebay?

PS- Could Amazon be a good place to sell these iPhones? Ive never sold anything on amazon though.

[Thankful]

New seller on Amazon = Selling iphones is just as risky and likely to raise flags.

Be patient, build your account - feedback - sales - and trust with E/B.

MJ - Said it best :D

Ok and what about the paypal part? Same rules apply or is paypal going to limit my account once I start bringing in like 2k$ randomly most days....

[Thankful]

Yes, same with Paypal.

Put yourself in the P/P position, your reviewing a new account which is taking in $2000 some days due to iphone sales - it just don't look good - they may hold/limit your account.

You need a selling history most importantly - why not start by selling, some household items then phone covers? or cheaper priced phones? and then move on to iphones later on - you have to remember iphones are high risk items.

If you want a long lasting account you will need a solid selling history.

Alot of us were in your position years ago - wanting to get back on and sell our items - don't fall into the trap - act like your a new guy to e/b - just take it easy bro.

How long until you think I can start selling on paypal. Like how many sales and feedbacks do I need to get? Could I buy an aged account from Jbluntz that has 300 feedbacks on it?

[Thankful]

You could buy it yes - I'd ask him if the feedback on it is selling or buying feedback though?

Jbluntz has alot of experience in accounts send him a msg with your questions regarding what you want to sell.

Make sure you understand how stealth works before you buy any accounts regarding - users accounts,,,cookies,,,IPs etc etc - you don't want to end up losing expensive accounts due to silly mistakes.

On the contrary, I have sold laptops on accounts one week old. You will get a call from eBay, but mostly it's very simple verification questions. As long as you can take that call, you can get away with some pretty expensive stuff. If you do decide to play the risky route, always mention you have the item on hand and consider printing out a copy of your listing so you can describe your description.

What happens if the phone number on the account can not be reached. I bought the account from oge and i have no idea who's phone number he used...

So do you guys think ill be able to list these iPhones tonight with no problems?

[rsot]

I would recommend you try to find a better way to get payment than Pa yp al...they are KNOWN to limit with these kind of high risk electronics. Try Moneyb...err Skrill it`s called now.

What about like google checkout? I feel like on ebay all any buying will pay with is paypal...

[rsot]

Not compatible with eb unless you can coerce buyers into using it.

[markstall96]

yea thats not gonna happen so pretty much paypal is the only way to go

[Callidus]

Dont start selling iPhones on an account that isnt really classed as established as ebay / paypal will just burn you

[rsot]

Would be in agreement.

there's a saying put around the forum

Put all your ducks in a row.... yours are quacking around the farmyard,

You are not quite at the point of selling iphones.

What you should be doing at this point is ensuring the account is 'ready'

BIG risk to have a non-working phone. Why? It's documented that paypal/ebay CALL. If the phone is not answered, the account gets suspended.
As soon as you got the account you should have been fixing it to start selling.

What feedback do you have on this account?

Is your attached paypal verified & confirmed?

In short wait before you list a damn thing

This is too true. I have a fully verifed year old account. This account is TSR with 100% fb. Have had a sudden increase in sales. I use soho66 for stealth telephone numbers- missed a call from paypal as was at work. When I next logged in it was limited and wanted docs. The

items I sell are no more than £10 each. I sent docs and it was restored but the point is that this account is established and they still got suspicious when I started listing more. Couldnt get me by phone- bam- limited. A 2 month account selling IPhones stands no chance.

I recently bought an account from GTB and he was able to send me the sim card for the telephone number that was listed on the account. This is a big help when buying accounts and you dont want to change info too soon.
