How worried should I be with this account?
 

I seasoned a new account for a week, bought an item on it. Added PayPal and a couple days later listed a small pick took (home—-> tools category). I added the payment method but got the email “We need some information before you can list more items” and 0,0 limits. I called and failed the questions but then she asked why I was selling stuff, told her I was moving and needed to get rid of junk. Then she gave me 50 items 2500 limit. First I e never started with a 0,0 limit. Second if I ever have to call highest I’ve got is 10,1000 and third I have never done the questions before. I would think since I failed it I wouldn’t pass the test and not get any limits. Do you guys think this count will be legit or most likely get suspended later on?

0/0 limits always indicate that they don't trust the account. Perhaps the IP, address, phone number or the first item you list raises a flag. As for failing the data base questions, your account at best should have remained at 0/0, at worst suspended. Just goes to show you Ebay works in mysterious ways. Can't answer your question (nobody really can) as the rep could have cleared your flags and your account is green light forward, or was just being polite and set your account up for immediate suspension the minute you list your next item. You'll find out soon enough, good luck!

Already listed two items and still up I guess I’ll just see what happens but thanks for the response!
