How to maintain an account?

It is recommended not to do too much sales in the first two or three months of the account, as it is the account cultivation period, so it is not recommended to bind the ERP order system and sales listing software in the first month. After the account receives 21 good reviews and is relatively stable, you can call or report to the online customer service before using it.

The first product listing after two weeks must be the lowest risk, such as second-hand books, unbranded clothes, household items, etc. You must not sell high-risk products at the beginning, and the unit price cannot be higher than US$10. If you list a product with a price higher than this, the eBay platform will determine that you are a high-risk account and will review your account again.

Make sure this product is risk-free. Please note that the electronic accessories of XX for iPhone are also high-risk. Please do not touch any brands and brand-related accessories at the beginning. After this listing is uploaded, it will be removed from the shelves after 48 hours.

Everyone should develop a habit of checking the title again and again after writing it. You can copy the title into Google Translate to check for spelling errors. There will be italics below the translation box to indicate wrong words. If the buyer still does not respond to the seller, the comments they left may be deleted.

Those who purchase goods from overseas are high-quality buyers with strong purchasing power. They are not greedy for bargains, so they don’t care about the postage. Many people know that the strength of Amazon lies in its FBA, so the same is true on eBay.
