Unlimited Selling Account
 

So I have created a new eBay account under a real individual (great friend of mine) with a verifiable address name and paypal accounts. I have sold a used pair of boots but I do not see my seller limits?
Upon doing a little bit of research, almost in a sarcastic way I see people saying it can be an Unlimited Account? Sounds Ridiculous but at the same time I do not know if I should call into eBay.
Advise?

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Wow, it appears that I actually do have an unlimited selling account!!! Golden Ticket!!!!!!
EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO GOLD!

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

LOL I got 2 of these myself (no limit). And super high limits on my other accounts.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Are they still unlimited????
But for now Lets go!! Come get some of this Golden Energy!!!!!!!!! UNLIMITED MADNESS!! Never even heard of this, there is definitely a rainbow after the storm!

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

No such thing as Unlimited in eBay. You are naive friend...

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

So advise me einstein, how do u know of this? have you ever encountered this or are you presupposing based on what you THINK it may be?

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Empire isn't wrong...there's no such thing as "unlimited". High limits do exist. And before you question me about it, I've made around 20 or so just like that.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Well, I dont see a limit on the account, its unlimited for now.
Ok, so you've made 20 of these bad boys...and did a limit get imposed after a certain time frame? Im guessing based on how the account is maintained will determine the limit after some time...

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Even with high limits (or super high) on a new account, it does not mean you can go gungho on sales. Make backup accounts - circulate sales, spread the dread

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

No advice for you. I'm happy being called Einstein though...

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Of course. Im not stupid, Theres no way Im going to list mansions for sale on this account, Im still going to treat it as a new account with love tender and care..

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

I never meant it, its called sarcasm genius

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Even if that was sarcasm, you came across as an arrogant jerk.

There is not such thing as "unlimited" accounts.

In theory, ANY account is "unlimited" as in 90% of cases, accounts in good standing with eBay get limits auto increased anytime they come close to their limits.

Even so, start listing thousands of items all at once without the history to back it up and eBays Trust and Safety team will impose some really strict limits FAST.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Technically speaking, you can have accounts that are unlimited allowance. I've got a few, i've even sold a few, and the clients have still got this unlimited allowance.

But if you pose any risk, and your account is reviewed, you will get limits assigned. If you don't then you will continue to have unlimited limits.

Note - this isn't to be confused with when you actually don't have any limits showing up. That is a glitch often rectified after a month of selling.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

I have been around since the BEGINING of Ebay,,,Yes Im Old,,,I have seen when ALL Seller accounts showed NO limits,,,Posting selling limits is maybe 8-10 years old,,,HOWEVER almost ALL accounts have selling limits, Posted or not.

What determines limits are trust scores. For example, if you use a Reloadable Visa to create an account Versus a Debit Visa Card (Which is directly tied to a Bank account) you will get a higher Trust score. The same is true regarding ALL aspects of an account, Name, Address, Phone, IP Address, Geolocation, and MUCH, MUCH more. All of this contributes to Trust Score, Hence Selling limits.

The ones that TRULY Do NOT have selling limits also have a special name, they are called ISO accounts (ISOlated) these account go to major companies like Staples, Bestbuy, Dell, ect, ect,,,MAJOR retailers like Adorama, Newegg, ect, ect, and just so you know, these accounts are also immune to DSR scores as well as dispute resolutions thru Ebay/Paypal.

So just because you do not see a limit it does not mean that there is not one, there is believe me.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

If you ever want to know the limits of any of your accounts, call ebay, ask the rep to tell you the limits, if they say they can not find them, then tell them to use the back end database tool. This tool will look up the accounts true limits, even if they are not being displayed. Any competent rep should be able to retrieve this info for you.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Even if you have an unlimited account, if you sell too much too fast they will hit you for tax documents. Their algorithms will tell the system that your sales will be equivalent to or greater than $20,000 of sales and you will need to submit documents. You will have about a month of selling time left before they shut it down.

Bottom line, spread sells out over many accounts.

You need more than 1 high selling limit account. If you have 5 accounts with a 20 item limit, that is a as good as gold for me!! :)

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

No such thing for folks like us. You just don't limits on your dashboard.

Not to mention the 'secret limits' they don't publish.

Try to post a few thousand listings and see how fast they slap limits on you.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Give it a couple weeks, and usually they will pop up

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Shut up guys.

OP is a GOD. He has no limits. He's unstoppable. Didn't you read his posts?

:lol:

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Yea, that's probably true,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

How about paypal? Even if no limits on ebay you will surely create a manual review if too many sales in one month from newbie account.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Don't let your petty simple real world facts interfere with the unlimited account supernatural abilities of the OP...

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Everybody needs to shut up and start listening to this guy.

He's Midas people. Forget his tenure or lack of posts here. He knows more than the rest of us COMBINED!

:lol:

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Apparently everyone here is an Ebay Certified Specialist. My question is to "those who have had a similar experience as me" , not to those "who think they know".
After establishing an account with an unlimited cap which I have at the moment, when did a limit eventually get imposed, IF EVER?
Thanks!

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

You are having too much fun on my thread. But the point is, I am getting different advice from different people, YET they do not explain HOW they know(whether it be from experience OR they WORK for eBay). Credibility is imperative when dealing with advice.
What I've gathered so far is:
that I think I have Godlike tendencies (True)
it may be a Glitch
it may be established in month or so
it may be unlimited infinitely
I will followup with an Update for those who actually do their homework and not just spew out their ass

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

SEVERAL VERY EXPERIENCED members here have stated they have dealt with the so called "unlimited" accounts. Someone has also mentioned a specific way to find out your true limits from eBay. You're just doing more humble-bragging.

We are not impressed. Most of us are wise enough not to put our eggs in one basket, thus we have no interest in "unlimited" selling accounts in the first place.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Humble-bragging? Never heard of it. Anyway..
"Play" mentioned he has created some for clients and they still have them as unlimited, SO IT IS UNLIMITED.
Further, we are only speaking of one of my accounts. I was hoping you'd be "wise enough" to know that this is NOT my only account....

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

List 1000 items for $1000 each and report back on any limits you might have incurred.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

1. It's no Unlimited
2. There are limits, just not showing you
3. Eventually it will show some limits, after some sales
4. The End

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

This.

Just start listing several thousand items ranging in price of hundreds to thousands of dollars each, then tell us how "unlimited" your account is.

:pound:

I love it when the newbies come crashing through the gates telling us how we're so dumb and they have some new never before heard of prophecy that makes all previous knowledge obsolete.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

I can understand why everyone is objecting to the OPs statement, especially taking into account how egotistic he made himself look with some of his comments.

Do Unlimited Accounts Exist?
Yes, unlimited accounts do exist, and they are very rare. Though *technically speaking* they are not 100% unlimited. It's similar to when phone service providers say, you get unlimited minutes, and unlimited data, but usually there's a catch. Same goes with eBay.

How do you get them?
Usually, their allocated to corporate accounts. But there are other ways to get them too.

Whats the catch?
Well technically it's not unlimited per se. See when you list an item, there is a cap on the amount of quantity and price you can sell at. When I last tested it, I think the maximum price point you can set was "£999,999", i.e. 6 figures. It may have been more, I can't recall from the top of my head.

Can you actually list unlimited products at high price points?
Yes. If your account had limits, it wouldn't let you list beyond the limits. But these accounts do. Listing goes through fine, shows up fine etc. It's exactly the same as a normal account, except you don't have limits.

What's the benefit of having them?
Well this is what it boils down to. There isn't actually any benefit. Example - if you do anything deemed high risk, and your account is reviewed, you will get limits allocated to your account. But even so, those limits they allocate to unlimited accounts are a lot higher (they're usually in the 6 figure region).

But more importantly, there is no such thing as unlimited limits on PayPal for the average user. So as soon as your taking in large sums of money, PayPal will review your account and decide whether they want your business or not. We all know PayPal doesn't have an appetite for risk.

To summarise - unlimited accounts do exist, but with little benefit. Hope that puts this topic to rest. ;)

To put it simply - If you own them, then you know what they are. If you don't, then you don't know what they are.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

You can have several unlimited selling limit account

But the real "unlimited" account is the stealth-account

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

I had unlimited account because i have created mine in 2001. Then they fixed it when i have started to sell a lot some month ago.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Yeah they still are why wouldn't they be?

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

Older accounts from a time frame had no limits on the accounts. :)

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

WRONG again MM78.

My limits don't show up and when asked. It was large sums of qty that could be listed like 5M items and the dollar value over $75M.

It's not unlimited as you state but it's really unlimited cause you'll never list that many items lol. My other one they can't even find the limits on it.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

I have a very old eBay account from 1999. Up until lasts year, no limits would appear in the dashboard. One day I was speaking with eBay about an un related problem, and the T&S rep mentions to me I do have limits but just cannot see them because my account was old. He said he just "ticks a box" on his side to display whatever limits I had. Within a few minutes I saw them in my dashboard.

Pretty sure some of the really old accounts look like they really have "no limits", but in fact do.

It's kinda like with American Express cards. They claim "No Preset Spending Limit" which just means to say they DO have a "soft limit" assigned, just just won't know what it is until it's reached.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

The post that I made earlier in this thread if 100% Factual,,,what im adding here is where the Info came from,,,In 2007 I participated in a Web Conference with a selected group of what at the time were known as Gold and Platinum Power Sellers, of which I was one, and representatives of Ebay.

This question came up and it was discussed. It came up because large Corporations enjoyed certain advantages that we did not, like unlimited accounts, and more importantly no intervention from Ebay or Paypal with regard's to disputes. Also they did not have to worry about DSR's.

So Please stop all this Bull$h^t about "Unlimited" Accounts, a regular everyday user will NEVER see one,,,,No Matter what that Buffoon OP says,,,he should take his "magic" touch and massage his head, it may help bring him some intelligence.

Re: Unlimited Selling Account
 

At the end of the day "Unlimited" or not, doesn't matter.....

You start listing a bunch of stuff it WILL cause a manual review, and the eBay rep WILL ASSIGN HARD LIMITS then and there.

It's common knowledge that even if you create an account with limits of 1000 items per month off the bat, if you actually try and list 1000 items in the first month you're GOING to lose the account, period.

So regardless as to whether or not "unlimited" accounts exist, it's really a moot point. Unless you happen to be a major national Brick and mortar store, your account will always have some sort of limits.
