Selling more

[Vejita]

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..

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

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

[JamesNorth101]

It can happen anytime to anyone

[richie2065]

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!

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

Yes.

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

[vetus]

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

[JamesNorth101]

PayPal can always ask for invoices

[rsot]

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

[Vejita]

I think it's better to remove any doubt

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?

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.

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.

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