If I buy a stealth account here, what is the threshold in sales before MP each month?

[thepianoman]

Hi

So I wanted to ask all the ebay account sellers or anyone who knows, what is the threshold each money before the stealth account I buy on here were to get hit up with Managed payments?

What amount of sales each month do I have to keep it under?

Nobody knows, it seems to be completely random as to when accounts get forced into MP/

There is no specific answer for that.
Some have reported selling just a few items and being invited. Others have sold a lot more and have not yet been invited.

With that being said is it worth buying a stealth ebay on here. I don't want to pay 220 then lose it within 3 sales.

Hmm, let me think about that for a minute...

YES! I say it's worth YOU spending YOUR money, after all it's not mine...

I purchased a stealth account, and within 10 sales I was told to move to Managed Payments by February 15th. It was a waste of money, I’m not sure why stealth accounts are still being allowed for sale on here

No it’s not worth it. A) you’ll be a brand new eBayer with no feedback so you’re buried in listings B) you have to list small stuff for at least a month C) EVERYTHING will be on a 21 day hold to PayPal. D) you WILL be moved to managed payments within 10+ sales or so, no matter what!

You're going to get this thread deleted by the moderators.

How can we be sure we aren't unlucky since there's no known threshold.

You can't.

This is very on point.

Part of the process to iron out - MP is still relatively new

There is no specific threshold. I know accounts who sold 17k last year and still don't have invite. Just look at all these Chinese drop shippers on ebay., i know how to tell if they are in managed payments or not, because i use them to drop ship to my website etc... and most aren't on managed payments yet

It's a learning curve. Choosing a "Helpful" seller is paramount, someone who actually takes time to answer your questions clearly after they take your money instead of a 1 or 2 word answer which then leads to having to ask more questions which then get 1 or 2 word answers again.....VERY frustrating and xxxking annoying tbh.

Learn how to do it yourself and save a ton of money is my advice.
