Selling more
 

So when can I start selling more on a stealth eBay and PayPal that are about a month old?

I know you need to start slow and small but when can I increase selling activity and larger amounts of turnover? After 3 months of selling when there are no eBay/PayPal holds of funds?

No magic answer. We all have our own ideas. Much of it has to do with the items you are selling.
Some items are pretty easy to sell decent amounts right away. Others not so much.
Name brand items are always harder and high dollar items, especially on the paypal side of things. 90 days is still very young for an account for many items in volumes. Other items are good on day one.

-Increase your active listings by one or two a week until you are where you want to be
-Receive $200 1st month, $400 2nd month, $600 3rd month, then however much
-Don't list high-risk items until you have a selling history

That's all there is to it, hahaha..

But, seriously. If you are afraid to use the account, it's worthless. Scared money don't make no money.

Depends what your selling

Very low risk items you can increase week on week by 30%

You also have to be wary of PP as they limit accounts based on incoming payments, start asking for invoices etc..

Re: Selling more
 

PP can limit based on PROJECTED sales rate - good idea to rotate through accounts

Re: Selling more
 

Is this on new accounts only or can happen any time i.e asking for invoices?

Re: Selling more
 

It can happen anytime to anyone

Re: Selling more
 

i have kept my sales down to no more than 15 items a week on any one account to hopefully combat the invoice request - seems to have worked for the past 6 months - just means you need multiple accounts!

Re: Selling more
 

BTW, do PayPal still ask for invoices even if the linked eBay account is NOT a business account?

Re: Selling more
 

Yes.

Both ebay/paypal can ask for invoices at any time if they feel there are issues with an accoint.

Re: Selling more
 

Yes they do, you can run a business on a premier PayPal and be fine.

Re: Selling more
 

PayPal can always ask for invoices

Re: Selling more
 

At this point, I feel like asking for invoices...let alone PP asking for them :d

Re: Selling more
 

I think it's better to remove any doubt :d

Final question on this topic. Do PayPal only ask for supplier invoices once for your PayPal account and if you supply the correct info then would it strengthen the account and prevent them from asking again in the future?

Re: Selling more
 

Paypal will ask for any info at any time. You may be asked for it once in an accounts life or 10 times.. It all depends if they trust your business model.

Passing a limitation doesnt make you invincible.

Re: Selling more
 

I'm mainly asking due to supplier invoices would have my real address which would need to be changed to match stealth address if it ever happens but I see there are people here that can help with that.

Re: Selling more
 

paypal/ebay asking for invoices is very rare if you aren't selling big brands
