1000 items per month is that a trap?

[karimlecavalier]

Every ebay account has a limit of 1000 items per month ( very good number),my stealth account is only 3 weeks old, should i go ahead or is it a trap from ebay? or ebay has another philosophie? what do you think please?

Not a trap.

People don't seem to sell more than $50 - $200 worth of sales a month in the beginning. Perhaps even on older accounts.

But others could give you better numbers, if they chose.

Trap? No. But it's never recommended to go all out in the beginning. Some people get huge accounts right off the bat, and some people get 10/$500 accounts.

Yes in Uk now every new account has 1000 limit per month, have 3 new stealth and they have the same amount of 1000 per month, before March was not the case

if you have all the items you want to list on hand,go for it.

Well methinks if you have a seasoned paypal that you used to buy a bunch of stuff in the past and open a brand new ebay you will get high limits.

It is how much you sell ,not how much you list !

Has nothing to do with Paypal and everything to do with the information of the account holder.

not a trap this is pretty standard now, the 1000 limit is normal i dont think they expect you to sell 1000 first month tho

[james_112233]

I started off with 10/£650 ... accounts created 4 weeks ago ?

But after asking for increase it is now 100/£3500

How are you guys getting 1000 limit are they business accounts ? mine are personal.

[agent006140]

did Ebay say which categories?
I bet if you list 1000 hot electronics,like AAPL ipods,iphones,ipads etc,it will draw attention from both Paypal and Ebay.
Very few Ebay sellers have 1000 different items in stock worth listing unless he is a wholesaler,direct importer or a retailer.
Bu then I know some collectors have 1000 Panda,rhino,samurai,can openers ,teapots,assorted trinklets in their basement!

1,000? If you list 10 items they will ask for info. If you can provide this info then you can list 1,000 items. If you can't then you can't right?
