Trolls aside, let me emphasize that I'm not looking for anything to actually make money from. I'm looking for a theoretical situation where items cost $2.00, chinese vendors are selling for $2.05, and that I can sell for $1.00 and just lose money but build my transaction count. Any real advice...

Hello everyone, I don't have a new account, and I'm not looking for the "traditional" startup feedback manipulation. I have an account of ~6 months, with ~300 feedback. Now, a few months ago I had some customers open customer disputes against me (my error in shipping), so my seller...

No, actually you cannot. The parameters that you can set for blocking buyers are actually ridiculously low. Luckily you can block whatever location(s) you want, but for feedback you can actually only block buyers with negative feedback and with like at least 4 policy violations in the past...

Haha if you can't figure out good items to buy to raise your feedback, you're going to have a hell of a time trying to figure out how to eventually sell items. Here's how you do it: go to ebay. Search for ANYTHING you want. Type in a random word. "Bananas". Now, filter your results by price...

Yeah, buying on EB and reselling on CL can definitely be profitable, but you're going to have to find something with a higher price than posters if you're going to make any money. You need wiggle room. The thing with selling on CL is that it's a pain the ass to get the contact information and...

Thanks for the heads up. Yes, I'm aware that I need to keep the seller performance up. For anyone wondering, I had reached a level of 4% of disputes for all transactions when my seller performance was lowered. (It was soon after opening my account). Since then, the % of disputes has been...

I'm about 85% sure that you can sell on eBay and accept payments through other methods besides PayPal.

Wow. That does make sense now, thank you for the thorough response. :cool: I guess I got lucky with the limitations, my Account #1 was created just in the beginning of November, and I've already been able to raise the limits quite a bit. However, this account-through-a-friend is quite the...

Could you expound on that please? Why would it mean that you would be "pretty much unable to use your original account for about 3 months"? Could you provide some first-hand experiences? Thanks.

Oh definitely, you're all set :cool: Just be SLOW and be CAUTIOUS! You've got a good thing, don't ruin it!

Glad to be an inspiration, but I don't think it's quite as grand as you believe. The 15K limit is the listing limit, meaning I can only list $15k worth of items each month. Only a small fraction of those sell, and now with the "below standard performance" lowering my search results, it's even...

Technically, that's enough to get started selling items. However, if you choose to receive payments through paypal, you will have to have a PP account that is bank verified :\ that is the only way. Another option is to sell on eBay but then use a different checkout merchant (google checkout...

Hello everyone, So I had an account a year ago, was selling VERO, bla bla bla, I got banned from ebay. My stupid mistake. Then a few months ago, I created an account through a friend selling completely LEGITIMATE items. Got verified through PayPal, etc. Everything is going smoothly...

Hello everyone, I recently got an Amazon scrape made for me. It's a very simple PHP script. One thing I am worried about is running the script too much from my server and having that server "blocked". I guess what I'm trying to ask is.. what information can Amazon extract if I run a script...

JannuBl22t please P.M your email address, I cannot send them yet. I have easy PHP scrape work and would like to pay for it.
