Increasing eBay limits from 10/$1000 to 100/$5000 in under 30 days

[ebaypowerseller]

I've been reading tons and tons the past few months on these forums and around the web. I've come across lots of good information and an equal amount of terrible, outdated information.

What I decided to do was to outline what I have found to work, and then hopefully find someone who is willing to share some knowledge with me/us about the things I am still unclear of.

VCCs
From what I understand, most of the VCCs being sold are created by people who own bank accounts in India. The banks in India allow their customers to create VCCs for one-time-use for security reasons to limit the risk of paying with a credit card online.

VBAs
My experience so far has been pretty grim with VBAs. I've purchased multiple VBAs only to have every account limited that I've used them on. These have all been "GMAC BANK" VBAs. When you enter the routing number into PayPal it shows at ALLY BANK but when you google the routing number(s) it shows up as GMAC BANK. I've registered accounts with Ally Bank online to have PayPay limit my account and ask for a Social Security Number. Once a SSN has been requested, the account is permanently dead.

What I have found to be the absolute best for verifying your bank account is just to open a real account with Bank of America. When asked to verify your bank account with PayPal, make sure you do it via the 2 micro deposits and DO NOT use the instant method. If you use the instant method PayPal will see the names do not match and it will raise flags.

PHONEs
In regards to phone numbers, I have found that a combination of using TracFones, Hushed (iphone app), and/or Google Voice to work best. Google Voice and Hushed seem to work only 50% of the time, so if you can get a TracFone I would suggest going that route. They work 100% of the time.

Stealth Account Information
When it comes to deciding which information to use, a good start is using ⊗⊗⊗⊗NameGenerator.com. However, DO NOT use the address provided. ⊗⊗⊗⊗NameGenerator uses a random street address from one state and matches it with a City/State/Zip from another part of the country. If/When eBay & PayPal go to verify this address, it will fail and your account will be finished. What I suggest to do is use the City and State that ⊗⊗⊗⊗NakeGenerator provides you BUT google the zip code and then use a local business's address for your address. This way you know for a fact that the address will verify and most likely will not have been used to open an account before.

eBay Limits
Now, to my question(s). I see eBay accounts being sold that are under 30 days old but they already have 100/$5000 limits! How is this possible? Are they being linked with another selling account? Is someone calling in and whispering some sweet magical words to the eBay people? What can I do to increase my accounts limits like this?

Hope you enjoy the information. And remember, this is all just from my personal experience. Your results may vary.

Enjoy!

VCC - Possibly true of US sellers (I do not know the details of their VCC's) but not true of UK sellers. I will wait for a US seller to confirm or deny this but I doubt it is true.

VBA - These do work. A real bank account is always the best long term solution, but VBAs are a very useful tool for those wanting to open US eBays and PayPals without the risk of burning a bank account. The VBA does need to be chosen carefully.

Sealth info - Little point in using FNG really other than coming up with a name. Sit with a pen and paper for a few minutes and the same thing can be achieved. Real addresses must always be used worldwide.

eBay limits - Learning this just comes with experience. These sorts of methods will not be shared openly on a public forum, if they were then the methods would soon stop working due to abuse.

No one is ever going to tell you......What can you do?, Sell up to your limits every month, provide excellent service, ship fast.

Natural increases are most valuable for long term growth if that is your intention. If you need to sell 100 items every month, run 10 accounts. Before you know it you most likely would never be able to sell to those limits. Most of us anyways.

[john007]

I don't think account sellers will ever tell you their secret or else they will lose business. Just keep selling limits and voila one day you will get there.

[slokor]

No we will most certainly not share our secrets. Can you blame us?
Btw - youre wrong on the VCC part. I would use Vanilla cards only and not use any pre generated VCC. But that's just me. There are a couple of people who sell those as well.

Then what's the point of this forum?

Yeah I can go ahead and confirm that I don't use vccs generated from india for usa accounts. I use USA AVS cards. Real banks are always the best way to go but it can get challenging when you have hundreds of accounts, but yes for your needs its the safe way to go. As for ebay limits, do as MM suggested and max your limits each month & get good feedback it will get increased automatically.

The point is to help people get back on ebay and share information which is not of a proprietary nature. In most cases the information is readily available and has no impact on me or my business. In the cases it does, I refuse to share that information.
Im sure youd agree that it is not appropriate for me to ask you about the nature of your business on ebay and ask you to help me become a direct competitor of yours. Why would you ask that of me then?

[123]

Slokor nailed it, its common courtesy not to ask a seller where he gets his products from and for how much, and were no different. But just cause we won't tell you how to get high limit packages right off the bat, doesn't mean you can't be successful. Just put in the time, this forum is a great resource.

The point of the forums is to share information, offer support, share experiences.However, if I find out where to buy new Apple laptops for $250, I'm not going to share that. Same thing with making high limit accounts.
People will tell you how to make an account ( the proper, long term lasting type), but they're not going to tell you every single "trade secret".

I have no idea, but I do know, if you treat n account correctly, you can get it to 5K a month in under 90 days , in most cases.

[yankee]

all of mine from this past fall were 30-3000 in seven days or less and 90-9000 at day 30 for example. I never whispered anything to anyone.

If that's the case, why don't we all start sharing with everyone what we sell, where we get it from, all the sources, and our eBay Stealth Accounts user names too.

Well we all know someone who dreams of that happening.

Perhaps you need to peruse around the forum posts more - you will see why...

[ebaypowerseller]

How do we post 10 items per month if we are only posting 1 item per week?
