Have questions about eBay? Ask them here and I'll answer!

Hello
Iam an EU citizen ,but currently spending a lot of time in Asia(mostly in Vietnam).There are a lot of factory here and very easy to buy expensive brands for very low price.
The problem is ,these products are mostly stolen from the factory or new with small defects.
I have a relatively old ebay account (5-6 years old) and its connected to my main paypal account(what i use every day).Is it safe to sell these products?I dont want to find my PP suspeded.
I know selling hundreads of stolen north face bags would ring the alarm ,but what i sell just a few from every product?Iam thinking about buying some stealth accounts and list 5-6 on each account monthly.
Can you suggest something ,how should i do?what would be the safest way to sell branded products without receipt?
Thanks in Advance.

That's actually a really good questions. Here's what I would do:

1. Set up 2-3 stealth accounts. Too many and it'll be a hassle.
2. List around 2-3 items for the first week. If you get positive feedback, then continue to list more (2-3 every week).
3. I would not sell these on your main account yet. It's a bit risky.

Basically my advice is to start slowly, build up that reputation of selling whatever you are selling, then scale it up slowly. Remember to list like 2-3 per week or so. But probably not more than 12 per month if they are very high risk items.

Ebay does not really care about the receipt if you sell these small quantities, but once you start selling 10+ a week, you can easily edit your own receipt. Trust me. I googled a website that made novelty receipts for online use. I saved it as a .jpg and eBay took it in with no question.

Just make sure after you submit the info you call them asap to see if they got it. Usually if you are really nice to them and you talk to them about what you sent in, they'll help you the best they can.

Hey!

I had a few questions. I am actually a new seller on Ebay regular account. I already found the niche that I want to sell and know that it has potential. However, I am stuck with the selling limit. My account is already 65 days old with 26 positive feedbacks. Now my question is, after 90 days will ebay remove my category limit as well as selling limit or will they give me a higher limit?

If so, what is the higher limit? I know the items I want to sell are not to expensive, however I will need to sell hundreds of these a month to make a profit.


Thanks for the advice and information ahead of time!
I appreciate your feedback!
