Stealth Business Account?
 

Is it possible to create and maintain a business account using stealth details?

If so, how? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

It is my understanding that business account can start selling large volumes from day one? That is the attraction for me. I am looking at 20/30 items per day in sales, it seems hard to maintain this volume of sales using multiple non-business stealth's.

I can't open a business account with my real details because my real details are suspended for life due to one product dodgy product line (lesson learnt).

I have read the stealth ebook but it doesn't mention anything about business accounts.

Many Thanks

Dave

Business accounts do not automatically give higher selling limits. Where have you come across information saying they do?

Re: Stealth Business Account?
 

I came across this information when I was researching my product line. I have noticed that other seller that are selling the same item as me are selling around 10 per day, and are all registered business sellers and a few of them have relatively new accounts.

I am yet to see a standard account getting away with selling over 300 (£7,500) of the same products per month with an account just a few months old.

Newer accounts could be linked to other older high limit accounts.

Most high volume sellers are businesses, so naturally you will come across most of them having business accounts.

To sell at volumes of £7500 you need to have and old EB and PP account. You will not be able to sell that £ value on a new account

So whats the best strategy to get to a high volume of sales fast as possible? Just follow stealth principle for a few months, get a good reputation and then keep applying for increase in restrictions.

I think you need to spend a bit of time reading the forum.

Your in too much of a rush.

Stealth takes time.

If you want to sell lots, create lots of stealths.

Whatever you do do not phone eBay to ask for increases. Let them come naturally.

@SailorDave - read the stealth guide and peruse the forums more - you are jumping through too many hoops.

Best advice is to take the time needed to learn

I have read the guide and Working my way through the forums, I know it may seem like I am rushing, but I went from £100 a day in profit to nothing, can you blame me for being eager to set this back up again as quickly as possible?

I have had to start working full time again, which sucks because I miss my family and I work with total idiots.

I trade replica clothing items, It was doing great until I introduced a new product line, I sold large volume fast, but then the open cases and reports to eBay also came back just as fast. Lesson learnt I suppose: don't sell that product line ever again and if you do introduce new product line, do it slowly and test the water or you risk everything!!!

If any other traders selling clothing items on eBay could message me I am willing to engage in conversation in what brands are fine to sell and which to avoid at all costs. I would realy like it learn from other members here.

It's a story known to the majority of posters in this thread, Dave.

We got cut off from money because of ebay & paypal.

Nothing wrong with being eager.

But nothing sensible either in rushing back.

This is where you went wrong. You will always end up running into issues. Better to find legit items to sell.
