Before I start my warning guide, I would like to say this is not directed to any specific sellers or buyers. I will be discussing things in general. I know most people will not vote for this but just letting my believes out.

Why would you want to pay hundreds or even $10 for an ebay account? it's not worth it. Yes I understand your previous account is suspended or you plan to do shill bidding with that new account. But what you do not know is sooner or later, in just some amount of time, the account you've paid for will also be banned if used with faulty purpose.

Do not think if you buy an account registered from another IP, ebay will let you stay. Either way you will need to put your contact info in the account and ebay will know you were a user. Wrong move can make you have suspended permanantly from ebay.

Sure some of you would love to buy established accounts with feedback. Unless you really want a fresh start, don't bother buying it. Stars doesn't matter. Why? Because yes you would be able to sell, have eye-catchy, trustworthy feel for the buyers at first but if you can't keep up the good communication/customer support, the feedback will go down, leaving you with less buyers.

If you must buy one, look for seller's history. If it is a powerseller with private feedback, find out to know what the seller's been selling before you buy that account, cause you do not want to end up selling totally opposite products.

If possible, do not pay for new accounts. It's somewhat illegal. Try to resolve issues with ebay, providing as much info as you can.

Remember, being honest with customers (showing your effort and service by building up from 0 feedback) is always a virtue! :p We all love honesty!
