new account with high risk item.
 

I have just made a new stealth account and thought what the hell let's have a play & experiment.


I made the account like I have made another 4 or 5 over the past few weeks.

After adding details I listed 3 high risk items, all for 1p.

These are not expensive items and I'll be shocked if all 3 sell for more than £5.

These are software codes (not my normal line just a test)

3 items on for 3 days, I'm into the last 24 hours and no MC999.

Obviously this is good but I'm very shocked that nothing has happened.

Sometimes it slips though the gaps.

Bare in mind eBay can backdate and remove items that should have been removed at the time.

Everyone in here will tell you that is very risky at list for a brand new account. But this doesn't mean that could work. It is just a matter of %

OK. Thanks. Thought it was a cert but thought if not it might help others here if it was just the way they were listed.

Keep selling those items and the account will be taken down - only a matter of time.
Don't forget that another consideration is the fact that once the ebay and paypal are taken down the money in them can be held for 180 days(or confiscated altogether in some cases) so its not like ebay is in any hurry to take the account down. Keep it going longer and accumulate funds in the paypal account and THEN they'll take it down to make more money at your expense.
