0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now

Make the accounts correctly then.

No need to 'regulate'

This account was made 2.5 years ago - was buying only before but point understood

What's it mean when you get 0/0 but no MC999 was issued? This new account sold an item successfully and got positive feedback from it. Second item listed, auto 0/0. Seems like this differs from the traditional MC999.

Might mean that it took their system a bit longer to link your account to a suspended user or something fishy on your account details.

Made a phone call. The rep said that the account was limited because the item I tried to list "couldn't be verified." Seems like a whole sort of reasons for this 'shoot first, aim later' method ebay's got going.

I was prepared to answer some q's about the weather in my area, where I lived, etc. but was just asked what I'm selling, intend to sell, quantity per month.

Answered those just fine and got the limit bumped up to 10/1000.

Just wanted to add, never gotten a 0/0 before. Last night I tried google voice for the first time and an auto 0/0. Ive always used a tracfone up until that point. Just some information if anyone was interested.

lolzcat · #**249** 08-15-2014

I've been pretty good with tracfones this week as well. Bought a bunch of amazon for cheap

glacier922 · #**250** 08-15-2014

I know it's gone a bit off topic, but when you guys create the accounts, do you try to list something right away? The ones that I activate right now are a few months old already, and so far the cheap phone services have not been giving me problems.

Hope they aren't trying to list right away......

glacier922 · #**252** 08-16-2014

That could very well be the problem. I usually wait 30 days or more, but recently, someone on here hinted that if your account is less than 90 days old and you try to list something, they would put category restrictions. So far I have not had this problem with my aged accounts.

Dmshark, who's a pro at this, said he's Benin getting the 0/0 too, but he also seemed to imply they he tried listing right away too. So, yea, it seems like you can get away with a lot more if your accounts were just sitting there, for example, the cheaply phone services.

grace · #**253** 08-16-2014

I had an account that was sitting for 2 months, went to make it a sellers account followed the stealth guidelines and got 0/0 limits

pr0wake · #**254** 08-16-2014

I couldn't help but LOLed at this.

HurricaneHuntr · #**258** 08-17-2014

This is usually a combination of abused cell phone tethering ip ranges and also google voice i would assume. I haven't created accounts in 4 months.But i see it's getting more difficult. I'll have to turn up some new accounts in the coming weeks for the holidays. I still have an account or two stuck at 10 items for 5 months now. It seems random on the bumps. Most others auto increased. I know when i use my cable modem to create accounts.It's less likely to be 0/0'd. But who knows...

gosunsplease · #**259** 08-17-2014

Dont know if this might help anyone but made a account last night for the heck with Text+ listed right after and of course BAM MC99

Well this morning called it in playing the newb, was told the reason why they did that was because my Paypal was not FULLY verified meaning i did not link the bank account yet (Had only added credit card with limits lifted) Was told once that gets done i will be reinstated.

So maybe that tied with the phone app might be causing the problems??

Just something to think and ponder on this beautiful Sunday afternoon, got the oldies on the radio and a cold one in the hand....Oh Oh better not make any more accounts for the day. LOL Have a good one peace out

olekstom87 · #**260** 08-18-2014

Within last week I created 5 accounts. Right now switched them to seller's accounts. Fully pp verified and confirmed (link after verifying). From these 5 accounts I got following:
1) 0/0 -right after I put sim in phone, I got text message from person about chilling in NYC. So probably this number was used before with ebay.
2) 10/1000 - no problems
3) 0/0
4) 10/1000 - np
5) 10/1000 - np

2/5 gave me 0/0

So basicly we moving towards the point where we get out of phone numbers which never been used for ebay. All accounts were stealths and had vanilla gift cards and t-mobile sim cards. Used dongle, tracking IPs.
Most likely they link it by previously used phone number.

Another question! If I plan to build up accounts with EIN attached later on, is this a good idea to call about 0/0, or should I just throw away these accts. If I call, won't I have flag/problems in future? At this point there's nothing really for them to verify. What's your opinion on this

glacier922 · #**261** 08-18-2014

Never call, even with ein. They're going to ask for your information, public records etc. once you can't answer, your account is gone most likely

Later, of course I wouldn't call. But now - it's either 10/1000 or waste - nothing to lose. The only problem - if this call will affect account in future or not.

Does these 0/0 change to 10/1000 over time or not ?

fox20c · #**263** 08-18-2014

I'm watching a few of my 0/0 accounts to see if they do change. Been well over a month and nothing has happened. It will be interesting once they hit the magical 90 mark to see if anything changes. Might as well stash them for now since they aren't worth anything.
