Increasing limits, what am I doing wrong?
 

Hi. I usually use the service of a guy from Fiverr to increase my selling limits. I have many account and want to avoid all the hassle. This is how his chat looks with the customer support:

Hello Mariyan. I see that you are requesting to increase your selling limits. No worries. Let me check and review your account for a moment.

Thank you for staying connected Mariyan. I am glad to inform you that I have now increased your selling allowance to 50 items and $2,500 amount of sales for the month whichever comes first.

That`s it. When I use the exact same words, they transfer me to email or just say no. Can anybody tell me what`s the secret? What could he be doing differently? Thank you.

I notice the first limit increase can be done once in 30 days.
Any other Increase (if your account is above standard) can be increased once every 8 days.

You can also use external services to increase limits (but if its a fresh account i do not recommend it).

If using stealth account it is best avoided to contact ebay whatsoever, i asked for limit increase on 2 accounts, they increased from 10 to 50 but after 24hours were suspended. Ever since then I just wait for ebay to automatically increase limits, one account started at 10 and reached over 1000 in 6 months. Slow and steady is the way to go.

I really like people who have enough patience and common sense... like this guy above.

No secret OP - that chat happened with an agent who was sympathetic - bit of luck

Re: Increasing limits, what am I doing wrong?
 

Just take it easy,

They will auto-increase with sales,

There are safeguards to stop anyone just switching to another account.


Better off with multiple accounts if Limits are a big issue as if you are selling;

£5k+ in your first month you are selling very very well , whatever it may be!!!

Re: Increasing limits, what am I doing wrong?
 

Never ever contact eBay to increase limits, eBay has an algorithm in place that automatically increase limits based on your selling habits.

Why on earth would you ask for 500 item limits on a new account. You have to prove to them that you can sale and provide good service to your buyers.

That’s like me getting approved for a credit card with a $500 limit, I then ask them for a limit increase to $5000 in first month without showing to them that I’m using the credit card and paying it off in time.

To get higher limits automatically, max out either the $ amount of listing amount each month and after 3 months the limits go up automatically. If it’s not enough then look into spreading sales across multiple accounts.

I asked for a limit increase on 2 accounts which were only 1 month old and limits were 10/650 on both of them. I was able to increase my limits on one account to 100/5000 and the other account 260/5000. Both accounts are running fine without any issues and turnover is £1500 on one of them and £1600 on the other one.
