UK eBay & PaypalGeneral discussions about eBay.co.uk Suspensions and Paypal.co.uk limited accounts. This forum is geared towards UK eBay & Paypal sellers.
I've noticed there are some other sellers on ebay who are selling 30 items each time over a 2 day period with 0 feedback and not a business account. A day after they've sold their 30 items they open a new non-business account with 0 feedback and repeat the process. They don't have aged accounts either, they sell 30 items the day they register. How is this possible?
They are selling the same items I want to sell and I want a piece of the pie.
How are they doing this without being detected and how can I do the same?

I do something similar... I list 100 auctions right off the bat on two new accounts every day (so 200 across the two), and then move on to two more new ones the next day.
You make it seem like this should not be permitted, when there is nothing technically restricting anyone from doing this; the selling limits are there to be used, after all. As long as the items are legitimate (or at least, the photographs don't show an obviously phake item), I don't see the problem?
LOL @TizWoz it might be easy for you! I'm at this stage an complete amateur :(
@Elijah, I definitely think it should be allowed but without having a business account I'm not sure how to get a selling limit of over 10 items per month and use multiple accounts safely. I'm going to buy the Stealth Book to gain what I'm sure will be valuable knowledge.
markymark - their original ebay account is aged so all other ebay accounts they open dont have the 21 day hold. Most likely it is vero , you can see a lot of this happening with multiple a/c's opened and selling high quantity of vero

Oh Markymark, 10 is an initial limit, where it shows that limit, it asks if you want to lift those limits, click the link, verify your PP acc with ebay, your limit will increase.
However it would have gone up to a 100, now it will go up to 25 as i found out this afternoon :(
So now you need 4 accs to which you would have only needed one , **** why do they not just put us out of our misery the sadistic *******s, ****ing toying with me and my mind.
