Hey guys, has going stealth given you more profit? As in selling?
 

I am having a rough time since this weekend with personal things.

I was wondering if most of you going stealth gave you more chances of selling items then before?

1 account = 3 to 5 sells per day.
2 accounts = more then before.

I know most of us are scared of eb/pp to close u out again and it's a way of spreading our eggs out, so if we get hit not all dozen are gone. But does it help out in sales or do you have competition vs. your other accounts? That's what I mean by example. Cause for my category I run out of phrases to use for the title with 200 auctions going, so mix matching the titles is going to take work.

I can also have different brands and prices, but was just wondering.

I am having a really really rough time here. Just personal things.

Thanks, GhostWW.

P.S. Motivation needed!

Going stealth has increased my profits at least 3x more than I was earning from a single account.

But its not just about increasing profits, before I discovered stealth 90% of my business income came from a single eBay account which was closed without warning and nearly caused me to close my company.

I now have security by spreading the risk

So nice 3 times more.

Nice so now spreading it all out works very well then, not just security but with more profits/sells then.

Thanks UK! :)

sorry to hear your going through the mill ghost

i know how your feeling

hope your ok buddy

I be fine in a few days, just need to get up on my feet. This is the only motivation I have for now. Hard to believe eh? Money does buy you happiness. At least it depends who you are.

Thank you for the support! :)

Share a story! The more the better! :)

forgive me if i dont share

wed be flooded with tears lol

Do share with us! :)

Sounds like a woman is involved.

Women can do that to ya :tears:

Yeah tell me about it!

Stealth is the only way to go! I no longer even fear suspensions/account closures, if I get them I get them, on to the next account!

Stay stealth and enjoy the profits!

Do you get more profits then you did before by going stealth?

Not just staying safe.

hard to say mate, i guess the answer is yes as I have higher limits as its split between accounts, but I still sell the same products so its hard to say bud.

All i know is with a single account i was always worrying of limitation!

Only you can make more profits, the trick is not to spend your profits before you can afford to... Think about it ;) Works in any business.

You know it's funny that you mention that because when I was living paycheck to paycheck and behind on bills, I always wished for more money and thought it would make things a whole lot easier and that I would be happy.

Now that I have money, I don't want to spend a dime. I cringe when I fill up the gas tank, I flip out at the store because prices have inflated....I guess it has just made me wiser to certain things. I don't have to worry about most costs, but having money has certainly not brought happiness.

I was discussing this with my banker not too long ago - we got off on the subject of multi-millionaires or billionaires throwing their cash around thinking they doesn't stink and showing off. And then the people who are TRULY smart about their money, whether millionaire or what have you, that still shop at walmart and are actually practical and level-headed. The latter most describes me (even though I am not a millionaire....yet)

Everyone calls me scrouge cause I save up my money and not spend. I blew $12k last 6 months for vacations with the gf/wifey. There is a time to save and live also. I am not like all these people who go out and buy what rappers sell on TV and wear it and think. I AM COOL!!! I don't wear top name brands to show off that I got money. I walk around like a bum! I don't care what people think of me. Chances are, someone has a Benz, big house, everything but yet you wonder, and want to scream out from far away saying "YO BUDDY!!! WHAT KIND OF MACARONI'S YOU EATING TO HAVE ALL OF THAT? CAUSE I CAN SEE YOUR RIPS STICKING OUT FROM OVER HERE!!!" Seriously that's how I see it! I know an old couple very old in their 70's from Detroit. They owned a few houses on the street, are worth $800k from savings in life. Most people as soon as they land a new job they think it's the top of the world. $2k a month payment, $500 per car, got to have 2 right? Got to show off so my peeps can chit chat all about me! Got to pay insurance, highest gas prices, not to mention got to have top of the line flip phone cause you know, without it you can't get LAID these days!!! And not just any phone, it got to be the one signed by STEVE JOBS with the chew gum still on it! I mean, some people don't know but when you go on vacation, with a 9 to 5 job you don't get paid for time off and you spend double! HELLO!!!! I get 5 weeks paid vacation a year here in Lux, I use to have 3 months with my other job, a friend in Qatar I know had 4 to 5 months!

I'll tell you soemthing, you are not cringing, you know the value of money and how hard it was to work for it. Now you have something solid, but you don't know for how long so you make that $1 last you forever! I use to sell information on ebay 11 yrs ago or 10 yrs ago. I would use that money to get into something bigger. I started selling money making Cd's. Cost me .01 cents per Cd after discounts and rebats. who cares if people laugh at you or not. You got money, you spend it on needs. When I see someone on CNN from America "Uhhh I can't go up norht this year on vacation cause gas prices went up 5 cents a gallon, I might have to sell my SUV 4 by 4 that I always wanted!" Buddy it's simple, less burgers, much better on gas milage! 99% of people don't know how to save money, they buy junk at the store. AS SEEN ON TV products you don't really need! You can live without it!!! YES ITS DOABLE PEOPLE!!! I know it's hard so breathe!

Look I grew up in the USA illegally as a child due to my parent not taking care of my paper work. If I had $40k at the time to pay someone to get married I would of been happy about it. Right now I got money but heart broken big time but I'll get over it! Do you own the house you always wanted? on the water? Boat for fishing? Time with the kids? This is happiness!!! Not $900k in the bank and living in a tiny shack with 4 kids not knowing what to do with it. Just live a little! Whatever you buy, get deals on it! I am sure for 125k you can buy a good house in the US these days. I know I said save your money but depends on how much you got. Be happy you are working for you and not someone else!

If I was a Billionaire, oh boy oh boy. I'd buy a Priavet jet there goes $80 million. Big nice house on the beach! White sands, blue waters! Nice boat, every hot barbie within 150 miles of me would be invited! You'd hear pastic toys all night playing! ;) Also someone who has a few billions it's not like they can make more money with competition. I know if I got to that point. I would just settle down for what I got and call it a life before I die or get sick of old age. Barbies + Exotic Hot RARE cars! = match made in heaven!

Can I get an :amen:?

:clap::hail: :eek: :suspicious:

I've learned to live without money, just paying rent, tiny phone bill, little on food. I save a lot. Waiting for my time in the world to strike. But I'll start with stealths and build up to websites later on then mags for ads and online all over. you got to build a foundation slowly and surely.

Having Money far above what you need to pay bills makes your life 95% easier.

If you don't believe it then you've never been rich.

When you have money you realize how creative you really are.

You now have time to "think" about creating wealth vs paying the light bill.

Money attracts more money.

There you go Roscoe, it does help and change your life in a lot of ways does it not?

Yup I also noticed, when you have it, any ideas you think about. You can cash in on it, and you get to see life differently. I never cashed in on it yet but I've seen ideas I had come to life by others in this world.

Money Magnet!

Think And Grow Rich....read it. Truth in that book. I never said having money didn't make things easier...I said that it hasn't really brought "happiness". I don't see happiness in material things.

Ehh just wait till you run into some big problem in life and just sit there and say. "Man if I just had the money everything would be okay."

Maybe bad example can't think of one right now.

Behave and stay on topic.

There's always a nicer way to express one's input as to not invite unnecessary stupidity and combative situation in which I'm totally not in the mood for. -_-

Competion is welcome Grasshopper.

That means niche is profitable. Now you need only exploit weakness in competition.

Guarantee

Faster shipping

Better pricing

Bundled pricing

Better reviews

Power Seller status

etc...

Sorry for the spelling errors oh great one!

They all have a Guarantee, ebay lets you have a Gaurantee, as a MUST if you want to be top rated seller. Means you get a badge next to your account and each auctions, makes buyers feel much more better.

Pricing I can do all the pricings I like. I got my own brands so this is not a problem.

Bundled pricing? I already do that, buy 2 get 3rd one free, buy 3th get 4th one free buy 6 get 2 free etc.

Reviews can be ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

I already got power seller status within 3 months! With Top Rated Seller. I did the math and got it 4 days before I though I was going to get it.

:)

One day I will look at that site called Ebay :pound:
