Safe feedback score to start selling those items
 

So I picked up a lot of nice clothing pieces (mostly brand named like Ralph Lauren, Fendi, Calvin Klein, Hilfiger) from some thrift stores and/or consignment boutiques all around town last week. I'm looking to re-sell them on eBay for a profit...but all I really have is some Stealth accounts with 0 feedback. They're phone verified + fully verified PayPals attached to the accounts.

Should I get at least 10 feedbacks (total) before I start selling these items?
Maybe 5 from selling, 5 from buying? Yes/no? Obviously, the more the better but I'm wondering if anyone has an ideal number in mind.

Either way, what do you recommend? I'd like to know : )

BTW: I've listed several those items before (well, some on this one super aged high feedback account, while the rest I listed on "new-ish" 0-4 feedback accounts) ..But I have never had issues with ads being taken down by VERO. *Knock on wood* Could they be less strict on CA sellers?

As long as you take 20+ pics and show all angles, tags, etc. you shouldnt have any issues.

Thrift store "Fendi"...good luck with that. Those other brands will maybe pass, but they will get unwanted attention no matter what, especially on accounts with no history.

And the idea that Ve.R.O members would be more casual with one country over another is hilarious. Stop dreaming such nonsense.

If you didn't know, there's consignment boutiques that sell higher end stuff. They exist in tons of cities. That's where I occasionally get higher end stuff like Fendi - compared to RL, Hilfiger, etc. is easily found at some thrifts.

And relax, it was just a simple question about VeRO being more lax on other countries. I thought of it because of person experiences with my items never being taken down [*knock on wood*] compared to all the people on here (seemingly from the US) complaining that they constantly got hit by VeRo. Plus, someone on here told me that it's very possible.

Great tip
 

Great, Thank you. I always do this regardless, but it's nice to hear that it can make a difference.

Could be Vintage Fendi! lol.

Except for one small tiny ickle thing.

As a new seller, you are going to be perceived as taking away monies from competitors.

Your category can be unpleasant to be actively selling in, most unpleasant.:nerd:

You have no legitimate receipts and you have brand new/no history accounts. Then asking to sell high end stuff. Yea, there's still a problem with that. Especially the receipts or proof of purchase part.

Also, you have no proof the clothing is real. I know thrift and consignment stores that sell count.er.feit clothing. Whether they know it or not is not my business. But, please don't tell me you literally assume that purchasing high end "second hand" clothing with no proof of authenticity means you are going to be 100% safe in operation. No one is going to want to hear silly stories like this if/when something serious like this actually happens to you.

Play smart, not with your head in your a*s just waiting for something to happen.

To be honest I've never really had problems with competitors or selling in this category, in the past. I've actively sold on legit accounts in Clothing & Accessories and have always been successful. Around 170 items total. Never a negative. Never a problem with VeRo either. [*knock on wood* again :P] Some items sold on new accounts, some on old aged ones.

Hopefully I can keep up my successful selling on the Stealth accounts.



A lot of my other stuff is actually vintage but this Fendi piece I found isn't. It's still authentic though and I know it. Will even get it authenticated. Maybe that will make unkown5454 happy :suspicious:

If you have sold this stuff on new accounts before with success, then why come here seeking advice for the exact same thing you have already claimed to have been doing?

Also, every brand you mentioned is highly coun.ter.fei.ted. You act like F.endi is the only one you have to take caution with. You bought it from a thrift store...end of story right there.

Typical of those who cannot support their side of the argument. Insult and run away. My point has certainly been made. Not my fault if you cannot accept the truths.

Carry on with normal life and no more insults....from ANYONE
