well shit I really dont use the damn thing.....as you can tell.

I have 4 ebay accounts so selling one does not matter to me. As to why I have 4 accounts eBay will only let you sell 10 of the same item at once. I was selling high volume items so i have 4 accounts to sell 40 items/day and be within eBay guidelines. It is a stupid eBay rule to only let you sell 10 of each item per user ID and let you have more than one user ID but that is eBay and I just follow their rules when selling on their site.

I see that :winkwink:

good luck with this

Hey,
Do you have a link to verify that info? I've never heard that and I've sold more than 10 of the same item , actually I do most of the time. In the last week I closed over 50 auctions for the same item, so I'd like to know where that rule is in the guidelines?

Sure, I have every ebay violation I have ever broken bookmarked. Here is the link for listings per item http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/...duplicate.html. If you are unaware of it it is probably because none of your competitors on eBay have turned you in yet. Don't worry, once they know of the rule they will be cutting you down as fast as they can.

PS: You can close 50 in a week and not be in violation of eBay policy. You just can't have more than 10 active at one time. In a week of 1 day listigs you can sell 70 items and be within eBay's guidelines.

you guys are idiots if you sell someone your ebay account. chances are they're going to use it to scam people or do something illegal. i dont know why else they would want your ebay account.

An honest business getting started on ebay will make a loss in the beginning. If they had over 3000 pos feedbacks this would not be an issue. All they have to do is change the user id. Simple to do and they are all set with a ready made eBay account. If I was in their shoes and needed it I'd do it! :thumbsup

this is weird to me because a long time ago i was suspended for selling bulk email address, i made another ebay account and after a little bit they cross ref. and noticed it was me and canceled that one too. and again 3 more times i tried and was canceled. i think once they find out its the same person [after all info is changed in ebay] they will just shut down the account again... i dunno but i would think this is what would happen.....

Are you interested in to buy a combo?! -100 ebay account with -50.000 ... possible +50.000 or null ibill account? I give you fair price! :upsidedow

I have personally talked to my power seller rep numerous times and this is 100% legitimate.

call ebay and ask them 866-442-3229.

scammers dont spend 500 bucks on an account, they get it for free thanks to newbies and some new powersellers offering their infos to the first spammers sending a fake notice....

do u think its a supreme pleasure to spend several hundreds of dollars for just one account? suspension forbids u to open any other account, its Ebay rule, what can i do. i may ask for reinstatement, i will try, till then, i have to keep selling my stuff.

scammers also dont pay by Paypal lol :1orglaugh

yes im sure it is, but if ebay suspends you, they will also suspend any account related to you........ once they figure it out, or someone reports you for something

So... why not respect their rules?! I guess... no adult related allowed. No suspended accounts anymore.

less rules u respect, more profit u get, its called business lol :thumbsup

or capitalism, more risk, more income :321GFY

eBay has millions of accts. If they suspend 1 of your accts they do not run around looking for other accts you may have to suspend them. eBay works pretty much on a system of what we do not know is okay. Just like the previous poster that sells more than 10 of the same item at 1 time. That is against eBay policy but until someone tells them they do not care. If you have more than 1 eBay acct they are all set up by a different email address. So if 1 acct gets suspended the others are fine. May they catch you at some point? Sure, they might. If you are egregious in your disavowment of eBay rules they will latch onto you and bend you over. However, for most ppl you can slide right by and keep on going.

the only way to survive a suspension is to use different identity, CC, email, everything. i read on some forums how they track accounts. they have maybe millions of accounts, but with advanced technology, powerful computer systems, and a strong antifraud department, they can find u in a few hours, or in a week. :upsidedow

From the policy page you posted:

i agree most of ppl will slide right, by using their friends. on their own it would be hard, except if u r a professional hacker and have strong notions in security systems. :thumbsup

ah ah u r right mardigras lol :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

LOL, that is a new addition to their policy and did not used to be there. I stopped mass selling on eBay around Aug/Sep last year. I'm actually glad to see it but it goes back to my early posts. If you have seperate emails for your accounts (which you have to) eBay is not going to do anything unless someone turns you in. Does your competitor know which accounts are yours? Probably not. So, since no one is turning you in go for it. Afterall most ppl don't even know you can't sell more than 10 of the same item at one time. The only reason I know is because someone turned me in. Then I called eBay and they told me I could have multiple ids and sell the same thing thus resulting in more than 10 auctions/day. Apparently now you can not do this. When you are caught on eBay they end your auctions. Sometimes all of them, but they credit you back all the listing fees so the only thing you lose is the potential to make money. Cancelled auctions cost you nothing in fees.

Some of the shit that goes on competitor wise gets pretty nuts. Once I had 40+ auctions for diet pills cancelled because I did not say they are ephedra free. I called eBay and said ephedra is illegal in the US now and my pills are ephedra free. they said well the person that "ratted you out" (my words) said that trimspa used to have ephedra in it. True statement but the trimspa x32 I was selling never had ephedra in it but eBay didnt care. they took the informants words and that is that. When you are doing a few grand a day on eBay you get to learn that you just live by their rules. What happens happens and you move on. Getting lost in the moment or in the past does nothing but harm your future business.

Incredible.. Some people on this board would actually sell and risk their reputation for 500$? Pathetic morons.. :1orglaugh

Hmm, sell account, new user takes over, enters his info, his email, does well, no problem with me. Of course he may not enter his info and run auctions. Scams ppl, leaves my email address on the acct (but wait I was smart enough to change it before the sale). When it comes down to it you choose who you deal with. Can you get fucked? Yes. Can you get fucked sellimg a business to someone else? Yes. Don't take quick $$ without the answers you need.

Would I sell my eBay acct for $500? No way. 99.8% pos and 3400 feedback. $2500 min. $10K is ideal.

yep. :)
