Starting with stealths (helpful experts needed)

[SimilarStone]

So here is my current plan in short:

Buy 3 stealths with 10/1000. (I actually need a 100 ads a month, but the risk of losing that, I think, outweighs the potential profits)
Use different IP and useraccounts for all.
Post a real ad on all accounts for the 1-2 day check. and browse for a hour an all.
Then on day 3 post my medium/high risk items. 3 per account.
Question: Should I adjust the description of all ads or can I use the same one?

I understand some members will feel I should do more self research before asking questions. I apologize to those.


Kind regards,

SimilarStone

Posting medium/high risk items on day 3 is a big no no. You should ideally wait untill you have plenty of sales and feedback before listing anything high risk.

Do not use the same pictures and descriptions across different accounts. Make sure you always strip your photos of their exif data. Batch purifier is what I use.

More reading is needed if you wish to be successful.

When you create a threat you have the option to create a "poll" for other members to vote.
Try to start a new threat and scroll to the bottom of it

You really should pick up the eBay Stealth Ebook, it has all the basic information you need.
In order to safely list mid/high risk items these days your going to need to have some solid positive feedback.

Thank you guys for the valuable information. So basically you guys are telling me the Ebay accounts will be suspended if I list a medium/high risk item before having had 15-20 feedback.
On what period are we thinking of. Does it usually work several weeks?

On my main account I sold 10 items within couple days and all was fine until I created another ⊗⊗⊗⊗ Ebay and connected my main Paypal to it. It has then got (and still is) MC113 suspended.

The point is if I can sell the first week by listing 2 ads a day, and then wait till the month after and do the same(2months total), it will be a good investment for me as buyers will also visit my own channels. Is that realistic though? If I try to do this with 4 Ebay accounts. How many will be suspended within a week?

I know there is not a 100% accurate answer on this, but I think you can guess better than me.

Thanks again! This info is very valuable and I really appreciate it.

This time of year especially you need to take it very easy and slowly accounts are getting taken down all over the place these days and clearly the ID process is changing with questions being asked that stealthers have no answer to, I have a new account that I am not going to list anything on until the new year when hopefully some new updated ways of operating our accounts will guide us round potential problems

It has a really high possibility of getting banned/suspended or they may want to see invoices, and other documents, obviously we don't know what your selling and you don't have to tell us but it's really in your best interest to go slow. The last thing you need/want is to be repeating a process that gets your account(s) in trouble.

I would recommend not selling your Medium/High Risk for at least 2-3 Months.

The point is if I can sell the first week by listing 2 ads a day, and then wait till the month after and do the same(2months total), it will be a good investment for me as buyers will also visit my own channels. Is that realistic though?

List your 10 none High Risk items slowly, 2 items a day until you reach your 10 items.

If I try to do this with 4 Ebay accounts. How many will be suspended within a week?

Please understand that no one can answer this question....Only Ebay can.

Please pick up the eBay Stealth Ebook, a lot of your questions can be answered by the book.

Hope the user is not making a threat though.




Polls are never that good if the parameters are not well defined.
This is one of those. The one yesterday was the same.

Poll surveys should come with some reward at the end for time spent

I just explained the user what it was and how to create one. He asked for it.

Crapola of a poll with only 3 questions in any case.

Thread title is off too.

Dictating who should reply never works. 'Helpful experts'? In whose mind?

do you mean items to sell or something else?

Use different IP and useraccounts for all.

Essential for all stealth accounts. Log those IPs too. I'll add a file for you later.

Post a real ad on all accounts for the 1-2 day check. and browse for a hour an all.
Then on day 3 post my medium/high risk items. 3 per account.

Too risky. Preferable to proceed very differently when starting off new. Nothing risky for at least 3 months ( or longer)

Question: Should I adjust the description of all ads or can I use the same one?

Main point of doing stealth is appear a new you. Same info over 3 accounts creates a LINK. Bad word.

I understand some members will feel I should do more self research before asking questions. I apologize to those.

Apologize to yourself for not doing enough research to make sure all your hard work will be successful.

I did not vote in your poll. It needed another category. More info to make stealths needed

2/3 of what to do is not mentioned.

Country of listings?

ISP to access same?

Local address sorted?

Paypal sorted?

Bank account sorted?

And so on.

Stay on the drawing board for now.

As promised the file for IPs

Snap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that might be rsot's problem.....

doubling up in threads with two posts

Even the OP acknowledged he had the Stealth Book

and clangers of misinformation that need retraction.

Now we know.

Just to clarify, you have contributed that many posts!

Wow!

Yikes!

More to the point, thank you for all your contributions, my Friend.

Thanks for the judgement again - instead of dropping my name, you could do other things

Good handling of the OP though - cheers
