Important message
We're sorry for the inconvenience, but in order to maintain a safe trading environment, there's a limit on the number of times individual sellers can list certain items in a period of 30 consecutive days.

You've reached the 30-day selling limit for the type of item you're trying to list. This isn't a reflection on your account or selling activity. These limits apply to all accounts. But it does mean you won't be able to complete this listing right now. (You can still list other kinds of items, though.)

Items that are subject to selling limits can change, so we can’t be specific about which listings fall under these protective limits.

Long-time sellers with proven track records and other positive account attributes may be eligible for higher selling limits. If you believe that you would qualify, please review our selling limits page for more information.

You may be able to list this item in 30 days.

and what if i list the same listing in another category will this go around this limit?

EB also has limits that sellers can sell in certain area like software. If you sell 2 software per month and your selling limit is 2 then you cant sell anymore until the next month.

If you put that item in another category and EB finds out your listing will be pulled down and given a warning. With enough warning your account can be suspended so its not recommended that your do it.

how would i check my limit in that category because i so far have listed about 30 so does that mean my listing per month is 30 for that category will it go up after i past the 3 month probation?

There is no way to know the limit of a certain type of item. They only will tell you the total number of items you can sell per month.

i have 100 items per month for the listing but im getting a category listing limit is it because im not past the 3 months probation?

The category listing limit doesn't have anything to do with your account selling limits.

When I was listing a certain item I had a limit of 10 a month for that specific item. I could list other items but just not that certain item until my limit reset.

If you want to increase your limit you have to contact eBay so they can review your selling account. They will go through your feedback For that item and if all buyers are happy with your item they will lift the limit. They did for me.
