I've seen people trying this to sell cars, nobody bids on their vehicles because they aren't THAT stupid.

What I did was hold a garage sale on ebay selling a bunch of worthless crap. Shipped it all out and now I have a legitimate score. And you do not need 200 sales to gain buyer trust. I only have 54 and I have sold $800 items in the past.
Remember, that once you sell 20 items and get 20 feedback from selling, no one really goes to your second page of feedback and sees that the rest of it was from buying $1 ebooks. Plus in 6 months or a year, they cannot even see the auction or know if you were the buyer or seller
