To all who say dont call ebay, yall bunch of yellow belly chickens..he he.
I just hit the 50ish day. Im at 80 positive feedback. A couple dings, like 4, on the seller dashboard, some late shipping, like 90% on time. Nonetheless now iM at 150/75000 in 50 ish days.
Within a week called, passed the verification questions, and up to 100/5000. now 50ish days later called now up to 150/7500. BooYA!
Don't be afraid to call. I did mention I have a paypal business account with ein attached as I already sold 125 items in 50 days and needed it. So that might have helped.
Rep told me there is no need to make ebay a business account, I can keep personal, and still get high limits. He said good job, call back in 30 days. If you continue to be successful, my next raise will be 200-250 items a month which is more than I can handle.
I even had a few open cases. But I explained what was going on. And he said very good Im proactive and Im top of it. I told him I was haunting my local postmaster to insure **** would get delivered.
So there is the secret. BE HONEST AND WORK YA LITTLE BEHIND OFF!! I doubt I will hit top rated seller with the dings and slow shipping, but you never know.
O and another funny coincidence, I got transferred to resolution rep. I got a full refund even know my item I bought didn't make it back to seller. Apparently ebay frowns upon having bad return address info in system and will immediately refund buyer whether seller gets item back or not. Plus according to her, they blocked his account till its fixed. Although knowing ebay, they probably banned him. Because all his items for sale disappeared within a few hours. I didnt do this to be a prick. I did this, because seller never bothered to give me correct return address info. I used what was in ebay and then found out 7 days later from my postmaster he moved without telling me. So kinda irrtated me.
