Is this plan for stealth good?

[bobCrocker]

I have a different computer for stealth and it uses the virgin mobile usb so that the ip address is different. I am going to make a new user account on the computer (other then admin account) and use firefox. I have a ups box and I have a tracphone that I can use to get online. After I set up the account i am going to let the account sit for 30 days and let it mature. Then after 30 days I am going to start selling slowly. My plan is to add the following items in order every week.

Week 1
Game Boy Sp charger

Week 2
apple mouse

Week 3
apple keyboard

week 4
Samsung galaxy 3 phone?

Is this a good plan or am I going to get flagged? Just want to know because I am about to make the PP and the Ebay account tommrrow when I get my tracphone.

The apple products and Samsung phone could be problem within the first month.

Also, dont just let it sit for 30 days - do some browsing and some bidding - make it look "normal".

So any electronics are bad for the first month. I understand the apple and the Samsung products are bad for the first month but the game boy advance charger will be ok? I have some older electronics I can put up instead of the apple and Samsung products. The only issue is that I am a electronics dealer and never have sold anything out of electronics. So I am thinking the older stuff should go online first.

Selling electronics (and name brand ones) on a new account is not a good plan...unless your plan is to receive an immediate MC999.

Instead, try selling books or household items.

Then how long do I need to wait until I can sell electronics again? Two months? I have some stuff that is not name brand items that are older that could work?

[An0nym0u$]

Start off w/ the non-name branded items. Ship fast, gain positive feedback.

Think back to the days when you first started selling on eBay. Things were new...you were feeling your way around, selling a few small items around the house and what-nots. That's what eBay likes to see and that's what will help you stay under the radar.

Once you're established, then you can start mixing in a high priced item along with your low end items.

I know it is tempting to hit the ground running, but this leads to disaster. Play it safe in the beginning and you will reap the rewards later. Best of luck,

Ok thanks for the advice. I think the first item will be the sp charger because it goes cheap on eBay. I will list it in a month

Game Boy could be ok - yes it's electronics but it's old tech so...less of a risk as I see it.
