New accounts

[HurricaneHuntr]

Figured since sales suck and i actually have some time in the summer, i'd make some new back up accounts for christmas. Anyway, are they still making new accounts call in to chat with you? I just got 1 mc999 the other actually listed the item. So i'm on hold now, but wanted to see if it was still the 50/50 norm of calling in.

This happens when u create the account and sell right away. But they are all easy questions and u should have no prob getting reinstated I did this at least 20 times simple

Already removed the restriction, just the typical BS questions of how many you're selling, is anyone helping you etc...

You got lucky

What kind of items do you plan on selling?

Is anyone helping you with the account?

Are the items in your possession?

How do you plan on shipping the items after you sell them?

Pretty much that's what they ask. Every once in a while you'll get a rep who insist that you verify your paypal account before they reinstate your account. Just call back and get a different rep if that happens.

I think they do this to just scare off a certain percentage of people who just think they been linked and don't bother calling in

I am still a fan of browsing and bidding for 3-4 weeks then beginning selling - same old questions for mc999.

Old ways still have merit

Credibility with eBay/PayPal helps the baby stealth grow

And that is the name of the game

Just - you prob may already know - pay your fees in advance with a cc - avoid the dip into the pp account with active sales going on

You know people have always done that. I've never had a problem with doing it with paypal automatically. I have 2+ year old accounts that go down and the pay pal is never limited, i even reuse the bank. Never an issue. Maybe i've just been lucky. It's been almost a year since i opened new accounts.My account turn over, over the years has been minimal, but that's mostly because i have learned.... Satisfy the complainers and in fact i have a huge monitor note that says the only thing you need to remember.. " DO NOT BE RUDE, ACCOUNTS ARE HARD TO KEEP, BE FRIENDLY NO MATTER WHAT, $100-200 isn't worth the potential 19k income.
