Can you start selling on ebay immediately?

This is an obvious problem

It is a problem if sellers go into ebay without having all the boxes ticked to look 'safe' in the eyes of ebay.

days of ebay accepting accounts without financial back-up attached are gone.
ebay are never going to 'carry' such accounts.

I make paypal first. Verify,confirm & use it for off ebay transactions.

I make the ebay account later and attach that paypal.

Never fails.

I've had a mixed bag. Sometimes when I list right away with 10/1000 limits on a low risk item I get an MC999, sometimes I don't.. Listing similar items. There's really no way of telling IMO, so I just prepare and age accounts in advance anyway. If I hit 0/0, it's just because I chose a bad address not in the public database or was linked to someone else. I don't think it has anything to do with Paypal, mainly because eBay can't see things on the Paypal end unless you link them up together. The way I create accounts, I always use VCCs to create and then add banking information later when I've finally locked in a sale..

My instincts say that if you got 0/0 limits and they still ask for a bank verified Paypal, your fate has already been sealed. They just want you to waste information as they'll probably give you another story of why they can't reinstate you down the line..

Did you at least lift the $500 paypal limit?

why do you use portable firefox browser?
if i have a new windows user for my new stealth account, I imagine I could use any browser so long as that user is used solely for that stealth account and some browsing to build up some cookies?
but is there any advantage of using the portable firefox browser in my case?

Thanks,
