Can you start selling on ebay immediately?

BigMama · #1 07-04-2014

Does ebay let people sell immediately if you have zero sales or zero buys and just created a stealth account minutes before? Or do you get the message you can't sell zero

Thank you

You can but you need to make sure your not listing a "High Risk" or "Expensive" items. Also I would recommend going with Auction style bidding.

Are books high risk? I got the message that I can sell zero for this month. Does it sound I got linked? I did all the stealth things and wanted to sell right away and listed one book and got that horrible message. Wondered if it happened to anyone else. I know stealth advices to take it slowly and build a history by buying. Where you or anyone else able to sell right away and was this recent...Maybe ebay is getting tougher..

they are getting tougher. You used to be able to list a low risk item right away no problem.

Now, they are looking for your paypal account to be verified before ANY sales, or else you'll have to call in and complete an identity verification via public records.

This is an obvious problem

Whoa. Thanks for mentioning that

If you got a 0/0 then yes, you were linked some how. Yes it's a good idea to get some cookies, browsing history before listing. There are people that insist on buying but personally to me, buying feedback doesn't do anything for me....I prefer to get Selling Feedback because in the end, Ebay see's that as to when giving higher selling limits.

Can you list what were your steps in opening your selling account?

There's no need to use CC CLeaner, when you open a new User Account, you can use a Portable Firefox Browser which will keep the Cookies, Browsing History all in it's own folder. Please remember, Ebay/PP love cookies and it's best to keep them intact.

Did you at least lift the $500 paypal limit?

pr0wake · #10 07-04-2014

im not sure you need to worry about cleaning up anything for new user accounts..

edit- got beat to the punch

I'm talking about the $500 Paypal limit but in the end it doesn't matter if your Ebay account got a 0/0.

Did you open a sellers account right off the back or did u open a regular account 1st then convert it to a sellers account?

pr0wake · #13 07-04-2014

won't the ebay get 0/0 due to no/not-verified paypal?

build your paypal first

I started a regular account, I think, and listed right away

How do you build a paypal first? Do you mean buy items at first on ebay? Or buy items some place else on the net? Or both

pr0wake · #16 07-04-2014

build = make a paypal account first. verify it. then sell

MM78 · #17 07-04-2014

Here is how I make my accounts:
1. Get all the Info (Name, Address)
2. Get my Phone Ready
3. Have the CC/VCC/Gift Card Read
4. Open an Ebay Sellers Account Directly
5. Verify Ebay Phone (4 digit Code)
6. During the same Process.....Ebay will direct me to Paypal
7. Enter CC/VCC/Gift Card Info into Paypal
8. Return to Ebay Automatically
9. Go back to Paypal and finish verifying Paypal (Email, $500 Withdraw Limit, Add VBA)

Since When? I do it this way every time.

Sandy D · #20 07-05-2014

Many, many thread have discussed what to sell and what not to sell on a brand new account.

Used books is not risky unless it is a high priced collectible book.

pr0wake · #21 07-05-2014

one of my accounts got MC999'ed, 0/0 for listing a used book valued less than $10

reason? according to the rep - the paypal account wasn't verified yet.

this was a week ago

Sandy D · #22 07-05-2014

Well that will do it.

You always should have a paypal verified before listing anything.

No way would used book cause you issues. I sell them on new accounts every week and never get an mc999.
