New account only £600 limit but actually letting me list items worth £200 + ?

Hey, so I just made my new stealth on mobile 4g tether to laptop + chrome browser; I used stock photos this time of an item worth £250, I listed it and its appearing in searches since 3 days all good. Whats weird the account got only £600 selling limit so I thought it will be instantly suspended.

Usually when I create new accounts if I get low limit like £600 the ebay gets the "reactivate your account" email after creating first listing (about 20 mins later) and it means death 90% of time. I only suceed if I make new accounts with £3k limit organically

So, my question is why this account is alive and working fine suddenly?

sometimes it all just seems so random

Reactivates are random. But if your items sell, chances are it will get hit with one.

It is just these months where these reactivates are prevalent.

Although they have been cooling down from what I have noticed.

I think UK scene is different to USA
but anyway im more curious why £600 limit account works better than £3000 account,

and for me its different expierience its either reactivate email after 1st listing = dead 99% of time

The limits they issue and how safe your account is from getting suspended are two different things.
I have made accounts for £500 limit and had that for years. Made another and got £3.5k limit for suspended after a few weeks.
