As I can only list 10 items month, there's no point is selling stuff for a few pennies... I need to sell something with a bit of value. |

gibbo | 02-01-2015 07:20 AM | Re: Account created, what next? Realdeals, OK, I get your point.
And yes, it's a personal account. Does that make any difference? |

Running a personal account so blatantly as a business from day 1 will get you flagged, no doubt. |

You cannot rush in.with high value goods. Stealth is a slow process. Cheap and cheerful in the beginnibg is absolutely necessary. You need to gain ebays trust.
Yes its frustrating which is why if possible its advised to make a few accounts to.spread the sales.
Do it the proper way and youll be able to increase your sales in terms of better stuff to list, plus get some limit increases |
gibbo | 02-01-2015 07:51 AM | Re: Account created, what next? Thanks for the advice. I'll think about keeping the value of the items down..
That being said, I am Selling Humax or BT Freeview Recording boxes, (used not new) and I would need to sell at least 10 a month to exceed the £650 limit.
As I will nearly always be within the £650 limit, does that mean I am still being stealthy? |

Its ultimately your decision but low value used with variety is best.
I sell used clothing on new accounts. Yes, all in clothing category but they are not all identical dresses for example. Hope you understand what im trying to say :lol: |

I really dont know if set top boxes are even.good on a new account. i always thought electrics was a bad move but perhaps not.. i.really havent.got a.clue to.be honest :lol:
Good.luck and go super slow to begin with:-) |
