Why Do People Want Really Old eBay Accounts?

[SellFunky]

Hey there, I'm kinda new around here.

I saw someone talking about how people really want old eBay accounts, and it got me curious. Why are these older accounts such a big deal?

Also, how do folks even use them once they buy one?

If you know any post or place that explains it, feel free to drop a link. Thanks a bunch!

That’s because they don’t get shut down as fast as brand-new accounts usually do.

People trust them more — both eBay and the folks who might buy from you.

It’s kind of the same here

Old seller accounts that haven’t sold anything yet aren’t really better than newer ones.

People want old accounts because they’re scared their listings might get taken down, but honestly, old and new accounts are pretty much the same.

What really matters is what kind of stuff you're trying to sell.

That’s because they usually don’t get banned when you try to post a digital item!
