How slow should I go?

[joeyr69]

Just a quick question, I have two stealth accounts, both over a month old. I planned on not selling anything other than personal stuff on ebay but decided for a bit of extra pocket money I am going to start selling new items.

My items are not VERO and vary between £7-£10 my question is as the accounts are new (both have 6 positive feedback from buyers though) how slow should I sell?
I have sold this stuff on ebay before and people go mad for it but last time I made nearly £1900 in a month and paypal shut me down.
What kind of money should I be taking as a new account? And how slowly do I increase?

All my items are buy it now so I can limit how much i sell / list

Thanks in advance :-)

Slow it down as much as you can, £1900 a month is way too much for a new account, aim for around £500 a month instead - the best way would be to spread your sales across other accounts!

I have been doing 5-10 sales per day on 12 accounts for the last week, and the items are £12.50 each. Everything has been going smoothly so far. I have even been withrawing every day, but leave a small amount behind each time to keep PayPal happy.

This is much more preferable to selling/withdrawing that much on one account.

Depends on what the person sells but the general rule would be not to sell 5-10 items a day on a new account.

The accounts are all from August and I was selling even more slowly up until this point. But that shouldn't be high enough to make eBay/Paypal suspicious anyway, on a new account?

Yeah thats fine then you've had them for some time now, no it won't make them suspiscious theres people who sell way more than that

Thankful is all on this thread =)

To consider building pp, it's decent to aim for 30-50 a week in the first month then 50-70 in the second month then 100 in third - so on and so forth. Don't go wild on withdrawals.
