Create secure cookies for your eBay account in the first 10 days:
For the first 5 days, all you need to do is spend 3 to 4 walks on eBay, 3 to 5 minutes at a time. You just need to click to open all pages in the Help and Contact folder and Browse by topic.
Find the products you're planning to sell and create your own collection.
For the next 5 days, you need to repeat the work of the previous 5 days and spend a minimum of $ 1 on purchases, one item per day. This helps you find more feedback coming from sellers, the higher the feedback rating is, the better your eBay account is.
Select keywords such as earrings, jewelry, handmade ... these are low-priced products, pay attention to Freeship products. Also, avoid auctioning or buying digital products such as ebooks, photos, menus, and menus that will lock your eBay account.
Create a list products first
From 10th to 12th, you continue to walk, pay attention to feedback back and forth with sellers to increase interaction, or actively contact to get feedback from the sellers.
On the 13th day, create a list of products under $ 10, avoid non-physical and dangerous products such as ebooks, egift, images ... You should choose the products you used to use, the auction time is not too short from 7 up to 10 days is reasonable. Add new image descriptions. After completing the product list, choose Save and continue later.
On the 14th, through the next 24 hours, you open the Draft folder, select the list now to public the product.
Complete the care process
This is the last step in making your eBay account more resilient. If your product is a BID customer, you must buy and send the product to the customer. After 7 days, you create a second list. Remember to continue with the step 1 process, maintain purchasing 1 product per day. And to avoid violating eBay's terms, your account will be "trusted" and very high quality.
