Ebay seller account / when?
 

I've purchased accounts on here that have been turned into selling accounts the day they were open. Should I go through the process of listing then remove the item straight away? Or shall I browse for a few weeks & purchase goods etc? The paypal that is linked has all limits removed.

Why do you want to list an item and then remove it straight away?
Is the account you are talking about not a seller account as yet?

How old is the account?
I would wait at least 2 weeks before selling on a new ebay account, you do need to browse ebay to build up cookies before listing items on any new ebay account.

The account is not a seller account & was made today. Have seen it on accounts I have purchased & assumed it's done to make it into a selling account & then listing removed to avoid any potential flags. Maybe I'm wrong in my assumption.

Will build cookies & make purchases on the account for next 2 weeks if that is what's recommended.

Listing immediately to turn it into a seller account and then removing it, if not done correctly will land you a nice MC999 with a request to call.

because you have SEEN it done, doesn't mean there isn't more to it.

Just wait it out for 1 week atleast.

When you list make sure it is used item around the house. Just build up some feedbacks. Go very slow for 90 days.
This usually works for me and no doubt for many on this forum.

Lately when you create a ebay accounts and then list an item and remove it straight away (same day) will most of the time give you 0/0 selling limits until you link the account to a verified paypal account which CURRENTLY has a bank account attached to it.
This will then give you 25/£750 item limits.

If you have bought said account off of the forum, the bank account will have obviously been removed which would require you to add a new one to the account before it will increase your limits.

If you lucky, you will get away with the method and have the usual 10/£650 regardless of how old the ebay account is.

I have never received a MC notice with a request to call so i would not know how to avoid it lol..
