Went from 10 to 350 item limits on brand new account

[HelpNeeded!]

Account is about 40 days old. Stealth. Limits 10/$1000. 3 feedback, two sales.

Called in and got 350/$17k. I have strategies if anyone wants to know.

Not particularly high but good. My question is, what are you going to do with these limits? Paypal will limit you well before you reach those monthly limits. Do you have a plan for this?

[slokor]

Not bad for a natural increase on the account. Congrats.

[AK81]

Not bad at all but it still does not guarantee you from the 50 other issues which may occur.

[phaz0rz]

That's not bad for a call-in limit increase but I doubt it's record breaking. Nearly every time I've called in I get a 50% increase, either as a higher item limit or dollar limit. The automatic limit increases have always been much more generous for me personally.

[quest]

limits increasing automatically very fast, if you don't have many opened cases, disputes, listing removals and restrictions.

but keep in mind that you have to start slow and make slow/steady growth.

paypal don't care about your ebay limits

[GhostOfAmazon]

Wow!

Everyone saying "not impressive" LOL!

Pretty sure most of these guys never even call in on their accounts in the first place, highly doubt they'd know what a "large" increase from a call in is.

The largest I've personally gotten is double, so 350% is fantastic!

Yes, I'd love to hear how you went from 10 to 350 in one phone call.

True, no need to call in when you can make accounts with at least 1,000/$25,000 selling limits or higher from the get-go.

[GhostOfAmazon]

I'm a man of the people...the common man has NO CLUE how to do it, but ANYONE can call eBay for easy and fast limit increases.

[HelpNeeded!]

Of course I know it isnt a record, just some excitement considering I thought you couldnt even get an increase after 90 days.

Those asking about my PayPal - completely verified. Business account with verified EIN, phone, bank, CC, ect.

I need the limits because I sell a lot of product, I took a break a while back but before doing that I was selling about 100,000 items a year that ranged in prices from $5-150... feedback fodder to boost the denominator for ease of keeping good standing.

This is the real question everyone should be asking about. It doesn't matter if you have the highest limit on the eBay universe, everyone is treated the same. Suspensions come and go. You have to spread that risk by building accounts now before it is too late.

[zacksmithhai]

My questions is why do you want to increase the limit to that high. You will not need that much limit anyways,

[GhostOfAmazon]

What's with all the negativity?

The limits aren't really that high.

Guys here sell accounts with limits of 1000 items to brand new sellers everday.

[SaiJin]

Look people, the guy went from 10 to 350 item limit in a brand new account.

No need to compare ego. Instead be supportive and help each other. Heck, he's even offering to tell us how he did it. C'mon now...

He doesn't need to share anything if he didn't want to.

So congratulate him and be nice.

[newjerseymax]

Wow Great Job! I have some really high limits and some really low.

I actually have an account that has been 10 > $1000 for 6yrs! Without one increase. I sell up to 10 every month. Usually in first 2 weeks. This kind of increase would be welcomed!

[BigCJ]

Congrats, Helpneeded.

May it keep growing and going and your sales a success

Stealth rules still apply so sell wisely

[RetroRedneck]

Pretty good!

I had something similar; 10 to 100 in 20 days of opening the ac (via tel call).

[GhostOfAmazon]

10x increase is also very good Redneck!

With "natural" (i.e. auto) increases, I usually only get about 2-3x the limits that I start with, which is decent, but 10 or 35x is way better!

[GhostOfAmazon]

BTW these limits are unusually good, even to my standards. Are these recent increases? Lately I haven't been calling as I'm pretty satisfied with all my accounts limit wise, maybe this is a new policy? Or did you use a special technique? My technique is "play dumb", I can imagine acting professional could result in higher increases.

A 10 to 100 limit increase has always been standard on ebay uk. For years you could do it the same day you opened the account.

[GhostOfAmazon]

That isn't standard for eBay US. They're a little more greedy. Best from 10 is about 75, but they typically like to increase it from 10 to either 30 or 50.

Care to share your strategy?
