I want to buy an ebay account.

Yes, I said buy. I want to buy an ebay account that has been open for awhile. Preferrably one that has feedback greater than 100. and 100% positive. If you offer your account for purchase, you can erase all your personal data and I will enter new data. This includes paypal and address. I do not wish to scam anyone. I just want a paypal account to sell on. That is why I want a feedback rating that is high. If you would like to sell an ebay account to me or you know where I can purchase one, please comment.

First, it is against ebay's rules. Second, how much would you pay for an account, say, that has a 100% positive feedback of 100-200 ? It is really interesting (to me) to learn how much people evaluates feedback score.

agreed. Ebay customers service is non-existent at best, they really only care for their interests. So the illegality of your purchase is only a problem as far as ebay has the capability of detecting and punishing it (essentially by closing the account). So will you pay $50 for a 100-feedback (100%) account? Will you pay more for a bigger one?

Are you offering or just probing?

Just curiosity. I have an ebay account, but I'm not going to sell it because I use it. And I need a seller account. BUT... one could create a non-seller account and climb up to 100 feedbacks, then sell it, it can be worth the effort or not, depending on the selling price! Oh, by the way, are you equally interested in seller and non-seller account?

No offense, but do your own work. If you really aren't a scammer (as you claim) then I'm sure you could easily sell items until you earn your buy it now privileges. Without paypal, you need a feedback of 10. You have 7, surely you can stand 3 more auctions?

oh I see... Yeah, that'd be slightly annoying since you need a feedback of 30 to do that .... Try other sites? http://online-auction-sites.toptenreviews.com/ That's a list of popular online auction sites. ^^ just pick one I guess.

Well, I sold on Ebay for 3 years and have a 100% feedback and over 300 feedback. I worked hard for it. I got it the old fashioned way of being a good person, working hard and being fair with ppl. Buying someone's Ebay account is against their rules. If you get caught the account gets deleted and you'll get banned. I've never had problems with contacting Ebay or PayPal. And I've gotten plenty of real ppl to work out the problems with. I'm not saying their perfect but I haven't had many problems that couldn't be worked out. I don't sell anymore but I do still buy alot on there and will continue to. Good luck with whatever you do. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Yes, I did the same with my over 500 feedback account. I bought and sold on that account. But now I try to keep it all seperate. That way it is easier to manage. All of my auctions ended tonight. Thanks

Why not just put many auctions up at the same time and have then so that you have a small reserve (enough so that you can at least break even or no reserve so that more people will buy from you and then you can get your buy it now account faster. You could also post on other auction sites and if you sell out before all auctions are over , you remove the items from one of the auction sites.

if you have more than one auction of the same thing at the same time, then people won't bid the items up as high. Then you lose profit. That's the business way of thinking

O yeah. It still costs you money on ebay when you remove the listing. I want to make money not just spend it.

I actually don't think you can do that because your user name is linked to paypal and you can't close the paypal account without it affecting the user name involved. I'm not sure about the particulars but Ebay has it set up funny. Out of curiousity though why do you want someone else's account, why not just start your own?

i do have my own. And you can go into paypal and unlink your paypal account from your ebay account. It's under auctions i believe. My feedback is only 7 right now and I cannot list buy it now items and really need to. I have a dropship account and am hoping to sell more. It is hard to sell when your feedback is only 7. I just opened an ecrater store and hope to do more on there than ebay auctually. I hate ebay.

A month is a long time for just 11 feedbacks.

Well it depends on how much business you do lol. She obviously hasn't done much, but you say you only have 7 and are already impatient. Well get going then! lol

This isn't my first ebay account. I have another that has over 500 feedbacks. I like to keep the things I am selling seperate.

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure ebay would kick you off immediately if they found out what you did. Probably would suspend the person who sold you the account, too. You might want to read the ebay user agreement, because I think they might qualify such a transaction as fraud. But good luck on the business, I just think you might have to get your positive feedback the old-fashioned way.

I do have my own account but the feedback is only 7. Can't list buy it now or anything. And I don't use paypal. I actually hate ebay and paypal. I have tried to call ebay before over other matters and you just get sent in a circle. When you email them, they just give you automated responses. Nothing specific to you. I hate that. I wish that there was an auction site as big as ebay without the hassle.

I'm a little confused, I just came across an older discussion of yours in the ebay interest where you said you had sold over $20,000 worth of merchandise. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1354274.aspx so, why do you now only have a feedback of 7? Did you already get banned from ebay once before or something? As for other auciton sites, you could also use Amazon.com, my BF has sold a few things on there before and it seemed to work okay.

I have more than one account. I like to keep stuff seperate. The older one is used for selling gymboree clothing and other clothing. New and used. The feedback is over 500 on that one. The one with a 7 feedback is obviously new. I just opened an ecrater store. I hope to switch over to that site full time. I will have to do some promoting though.
