OK I created my first stealth account today

IP fresh
PP not verified yet waiting on micros

called ebay they said the could not verify or even create security questions
listing reinstated and account good to go
I relisted item following their directions on the phone to do so just go to relist blah blah

that is where I am any incite or feedback at this point from anyone?

Glad to hear your account got reinstated! Just take it slow and try not to raise any flags that would require additional verification.

Gratz on getting your account re-opened.
Are you asking if you should relist the same item again??

[danshan]

No I am saying can i list a 1/4 ounce gold will probably sell for 400-500 dollars? Should I wait until I sell my .99 listing or what is my next step I guess to stay under the radar.

Thanks

Selling anything big especially like that is a big no no on new accounts. You need to establish a good record with eBay before selling something like that. Think under $10 for the first few sales then work your way up. Don't ruin the account by listing a $100+ item starting out. Stick with small things for now.

Definitly a good idea to sell low for 3 months, let ebay raise your limits, let them know you are legit

so list like one 10 dollar item per week or per day or what? thank you all so much for the help. The stealth setup part I have good but the problem is the listing patterns or behavior I have not idea about. My end goal is to get to where I can list 1/4 ounce watches that I make which sell for around 600 US each. any ideas how to get here safely and quickly as possible. A plan would be great Thanks

Sometimes even $10 is pushing it. One of the best things to do is start the auction as a penny with no reserve. Usually on a junk item just laying around the house like a coaster or a small candle or book ends. You know something that is just an everyday item to help your account build feedback. Try not to push your selling limits. like if you are 10/1000 then sell between 5 - 8 items that month. In time your limits will increase and so will the items you can list. If you want to sell a lot use a lot of stealth accounts!

This part alone baffles me.
I always thought if they could not verify or create security questions, that would lead to indefinite suspension. Weird and incredible at the same time. Congrats.

Yea, I believe it, just got lucky I guess. Most of the ones I've had to speak to speak broken english so they barely understand the issue or my plee.
