Thanks for the response – glad no-one has had any push-back from ebay regarding it – hopefully it is acceptable.

I’m not sure if it is an actual violation – that is my reason for posting the question; but anyway, this is the link: http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/user-agreement.html

It is in the “Using Ebay” section…

In connection with using or accessing the Services you will not: use any robot, spider, scraper, data mining tools, data gathering and extraction tools, or other automated means to access our Services for any purpose, except with the prior express permission of eBay;

Thanks for any insight or experience – I really want to use them but don’t want to jeopardize my ebay account. What do you think?

I’m not sure if it is a violation – that is my question really. I want to use Truegether and Bonanaza but really only if I can have them transfer the listings – no way I can manually do two more sites. I’m just too afraid to lose my ebay account though. Wondering if anyone else had thoughts/experience with anything negative happening?

Hi Ryanne,

I signed up for Truegether, then read somewhere online that ebay considers it and Bonanza a violation of terms? Something to do with my allowing it to transfer my ebay listings over is the equivalent of a 3rd party service that crawl listings? So I panicked and deleted both. Has anyone ever had any indication from ebay that it is a violation and either suppresses your account or worse – closes an account?

Here are the items I sold last week. I’ve been re-selling for just a few months, and have recently subscribed to the basic store. So I’m still learning as I go.

I purchased this West Elm Blue Vase at a Goodwill retail store for $5.29 and it sold for $32.19 shipped

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-Authentic-Nintendo-Wii-Black-Nunchuck-RVL-004-OEM-Controller-Joystick-/162401030105?hash=item25cfdb0fd9:g:FkoAAOSwx6pYqQaI

I purchased this Wii controller at Goodwill retail for $2.12 and it sold for $8.75 shipped. Not a very smart purchase in hind-sight, but I did not have cell reception to look up the value at the store. So at least I didn’t lose money – lesson learned though.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Heirloom-Collection-The-Adventure-Collection-Treasure-Island-the-/162386217803?hash=item25cef90b4b:g:MGQAAOSwo4pYQiAc

I purchased this set of books last year during Amazon Prime Days for $31.79 and it sold for $52.47 shipped.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Billy-Joel-1983-First-Pressing-An-Innocent-Man-Album-LP-Vinyl-QC-38837-Columbia-/162394049962?hash=item25cf708daa:g:bicAAOSwa~BYUIE4

I got this in a bin full of old albums that somebody was giving away on Craig’sList. They were damp from either rain or the basement – took a bit of cleaning up and then listening to them all – quite a bit of work for very little profit. Still they were free, and for starting out, it is the price I had to pay. So FREE sold for $11.25 shipped.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-PR02X-K09A-E-Port-Plus-Docking-Station-F310C-CY640-FFCV6-07067-E6320-E6420-/162401013518?hash=item25cfdacf0e:g:fPcAAOSw4CFYqQAQ

I got this Dell docking station at Goodwill retail for $2.12 and it sold for $23.50 shipped.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Frank-Frazetta-Art-SILVER-WARRIOR-1972-Full-Color-Plate-Fantasy-Sci-Fi-/162386219063?hash=item25cef91037:g:jz4AAOSw2xRYQz23

I got this (and about 90 others) in an old book that was paperbound and the binding had come undone and was being held together with duct tape. I bought it at a flea market for $8. The cost for this one page was $.90 and it sold for $10.95 shipped.

That’s all I have unfortunately. I haven’t yet mastered how to get a larger number of sales. My sell through rate is around 10-11%. My goal this month is to list more than my free allotment and see if the % remains the same.
