eBay Limited Due to High Risk?
 

Hopefully you guys can shed some light for me.
I ran a new stealth eBay account for about 2 months.
I started off by selling random stuff like used clothes and supplies.

Then I started listing these electronic accessories on my 2nd month on eBay.
They go for about $10 a piece. I sold about 20-50 of them in the span of a few weeks. Perfect 100% feedback. No returns or chargebacks. Looks like both the buyers and I are satisfied.

Then eBay slaps me with a "Your account has been limited due to high risk activity." I called them thinking it was a mistake, the lady rep said "we limited you because your selling activity poses a risk. So your account is a High Risk. We cannot disclose any further information." After that I'm just like whatever. I'll start a new stealth.

How do I avoid another high risk limitation if I want to continue selling these electronic accessories? Do I wait until after the 3 months probation? Maybe that's why?

I don't know what these accessories are, but if they are some random name is one thing.
If they are branded items like Beats or so... that's almost an auto ban.

You can try waiting for 3 months and cutting down on the quantity sold.
If I were you, I'd try listing just 10 for the month, build feedback.

Yet I won't stop selling the clothing line.

Yeah it's branded as Samsung and Apple. So my brother is also selling Apple accessories but his account has been up for 2 years. He never got banned. So you're right I think I need more feedback and try waiting to build more history.

those 2 brands are notorious for account suspensions...

Re: eBay Limited Due to High Risk?
 

completly bull**** wit high risk item.

I set up stealt account sell 3 items ( probably they are tricky items for ebay as well, but they see cos im getting feedbacks for them ) and 4th item was designer clothes ( 2000$ worth ) nothing hapend to me.

You just need to chose right way how to set up your feedbacks.

Listen to this guy if you want to get your accounts suspended fast.
Just cause you got lucky once or twice doesnt mean itll hold or that others will get lucky. Stop spewing nonsense and misleading information.

What kind of documents are they asking for?

Re: eBay Limited Due to High Risk?
 

They didn't ask for any documentation. Just BAM a permanent limitation. No reason. It must have been the brand named items. Selling them before building enough feedback.

Just because you operated "fine" for awhile doesn't make your practice "correct" - you can keep trying and testing but keep in mind, you are selling very high risk items...you could be shut down at any time

Hah :)

Most important rule for sucess listing in high risk is comunicate with ebay. Let them know what you want to do and ask how to do!!! They will tell you and make remark in your account about that.

I can provide proof of that what im saying. Yesturday i was created new account and i will take screenshots and when i will sell my high risk item i will upload all screens here to shut you up :)

If you dont know how to do that then please dont tell to others not to do!

Got to agree with slokor, talking to EB means nothing, notes on your account mean nothing, when a bot suspends you it doesn't read the notes and doesn't care.

Come back here in 5 years and tell us how it worked out for you.

Re: eBay Limited Due to High Risk?
 

I dont need 5 years. It works today. why you want to be smarter than others ?

Im just share my experiace about ebay and thats it.
