What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

In the UK vitamins market on ebay, is selling £60 a day on new stealth considered risky?
Ant help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Everyone has their own opinion but personally I would say yes that’s too much.

It means you're going to be passing £1800 within the first month of the account.

If i'm uploading tracking etc, could I not get EU limited lifted?

Re: What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

EU limit is not to do with tracking. I think you mean the 21 day hold.

Re: What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

Hi,

Yes the 21 day hold I can live with, however I'm just bit concerned about EU limit, I know there are people on here who can help with that, however how successful are they?

Thanks

In your area I would sure with £30 a day for 2 weeks then build that up

From there just take it steady and see how you get in

Spread sales across a few accounts if you need to get more sold per day and you should be fine

Re: What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

Thank you all, Oh one last question what about how many should I list first time?
£5.00 items each, so can I getaway with 5 buy it now listings?

Thanks

When you have 3 kids bit hard to raise funds for the tickets, hopefully I should crack this stealth thing

Also guys, sorry to bore you, BUT does it not become tedious creating new accounts and managing every day ebay business?

Personally I'm a 1 man band. NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY..........

Re: What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

Most people are fine with 5 to 10 accounts and that is pretty easy to manage when you get the hand of it.

Just start with 2/3 then get the grips of it then move to 4/5 and go from there

The accounts if they are run well can last a very long time, just as long as a normal account really

Re: What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

Thanks James, however just a quick one, correct me if I'm wrong but those people running 5-10, it's probably on autopilot ie; dropshipping ebay accounts, someone like me runs a physical business were I have to count,pick,pack, and wait in big post office ques, then get back to emails etc......

Re: What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

Yes it does become difficult to log in every day to answer emails.

Especially if you are selling cheap / higher quantity of items.

Re: What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

No need to log in to answer messages - just reply to the email directly.

Re: What is considered slow selling on new stealth account?
 

Does that not reveal your IP address ?

So I can log in to all of my email accounts through a single IP to answer emails ? that would save a lot of time.

i am currently working with 50ish stealth accounts (half of them are dead)
those 25ish which are left have currently 25-200 feedback each and 2-6 month old.

on some of them i listed 2-3 items per day and they got mc011 (each item around 15-20 EUR)

some of them got it after few days, some of them got it right after someone opened a case. One of them got it right after a negative feedback. most of them got it without any reason (no cases, no complains).

I also tryed to go full ham on one acc and listed 90 items per day. i sold for around 12k before mc011 hit me on that acc (i asked for a limit increase and the guy said he wants to give me an increase to 15k gbp but i got 1,5m instead, that could be the reason why it took so long for tha acc). i had 25 feedback when i started to sell 90 items per day.

so tldr; even 10 GBP per day can be to much while 1000 GBP for other accs are fine.
If you ask me, make many accs and half of them will survive. and do not get caught.

also what JamesNorth said is the best way to get your accounts banned.

first of all ebay adds a 1x1 pixel image to each mail (check screenshot)
https://imgur.com/a/S5xA6nV

this image is individual for everyone and when you open a mail you automaticly load all images (some email providers can disable to load pictures completly)

that means only the reciver of the mail is the only one who will open that image (you load it when you load the mail and didnt not disable pictures)

some providers rehost the images (for example google and yahoo). that means they download the image for you and host it on their servers --> ebay sees googles ip and google hides your ip in the screenshot. This actually happens in the screenshot. google replaces the direct links to ebay and rehosts the image (in the red circle you can see that it is not directly rover.ebay but google which rehosts that image)

Even here it is possible to see a pattern since the images would be downloaded by google when you open the mail and since you open the mail on your 2nd acc after youfinished yur 1st there will be always a pattern.


But thats ofc not the only bad thing what they do. try to open ANY link in your mail from a ebay message. it ALWAYS has 2 parts first url starts with rover.ebay.com/rover blabla, and the 2nd part of the url redircts you to the actual page you want to open.

so basicly you open rover blabla, it scans your cookies (the 1 pixel image cant scan your cookies. they only can see your ip with it) and redicts you to the page you wanted. then you click on rover link from a 2nd acc and boom they know it was opened from the same browser.

even if you clear the cookies there are many uniqe identifications in your browser how they can find out that the accs are linked together. so when you click on ANY link in ANY mail from ebay consider your accs as ****ed at some day.
and NEVER click on a link which starts with rover. that's ebay STASI II. even their fcking logo is a trap link

tldr; NEVER EVER OPEN a mail from ebay unleast you know EXACTLY what you are doing
