new ebay account need advice
 

i have a new ebay account and my paypal account has already aged nicely

how many items can i sell a week on ebay ??

does anyone have a baby steps item listing plan ??

Age your eBay for 30 days minimum, bid and browse in that time once or twice a week.

List your first item as an auction, start at 999. Make sure the item is not vero and is second hand. Like a book, pen, candle, picture frame etc.

Post quickly, receive feedback. Wait a week, do the same again. Then next time list 2 items. Once you have gone over 30 days since your first sale and you have feedback, you can list a few more items at once. You can use buy it nows etc

This is just my method and it has never let me down. I am overly cautious though as I would hate to lose a bank account.

how many second hand items can i sell a week

please bear in mind my paypal has cleared its babysteps already and is well aged

ebay is brand new

please bear in mind that my postal address is stealth no point in buying anything as it will be posted to a random place

It's ebay you want to worry about listing so soon from creation. Mc999 is very common.

Like I advised before, one 2nd hand item to start with. Receive feedback. Then list one more. Receive feedback.

Then list 2 at once. Then slowly build in your real items. If you sell anything vero though I'd wait until you have a lot of credibility. 50+ feedback etc.

ok next question

if i buy an aged account can i use my paypal account that i have already it was sold as a set but i havnt linked the ebay account with the paypal account

No as the names and details won't match.

If you bought an ebay+ paypal set then keep it that way. Just add a bank.

If you're unsure over how to operate the account you bought you should ask your seller.
