eBay auction & nearly hitting monthly selling limit question

[RetroRedneck]

Interesting dilema.

I'm about to hit my monthly selling limit (allowed to sell up to £300), but what happens if I set up an auction (say £100 start) on an item that will sell for about £600? I've tried setting it up as a (£600) BIN, but it won't allow me (for obvious reasons).

Clearly this will take me over my monthly selling limit, so what usually happens in this scenario?

Thanks.

Ok, thanks, So the auction will just carry on? That's good to know.

It'll just max out your monthly when your auction ends.

That's all

what if there were +2 auctions LIVE in the same time, will it be deleted if there were no bids yet?

Difficult to predict this - I have had times when both went on alright, sometimes one was removed during. Usually I have found that if both listings get through and are posted, they are usually ok to proceed even though this should be avoided.

I wouldn't thought so. It would be a terrible buying experience for any bidders if ebay just pulled your auction halfway!

Also true but eBay has msged buyers before about pulling listings retrospectively as well....for buyer protection purposes...

Dont worry... all is good/

You can call ebay and raise the limits

Have never come across selling limits on Ebay before. Is there a set limit or is it case by case?

it's not always z good thing to get attention to your account.
If you're hitting the monthly limits and your account is in good standing, the system will tend to auto increase your limits.
