15k monthly threshold trigger Adyen

[solefoodbk]

I have read this on the forum before, but never seen a direct thread for it.

Does anyone here have experience with this, and managing (1) account north $15k+ sales monthly without issues, or did you get more security checks?

My current account I have kept around $8k-12k sales monthly, at most $14k, and do not plan on passing $15k if I do, it will be in 2026.

Haha, I wouldn't know, I'm doing good to bring in $200 a week on egay, sales have almost dropped to zero. Etsy is blowing egay out of the water currently...

you can check their documentation about merchant thresholds , it is rules of visa and mastercard to force additional verification for each merchant moving to a higher threshold

She is talking about receiving and not buying with Visa or MC?
OP is in USA,not UK

if they receive payments with visa and mastercard on their own or through marketplaces they are a merchant. there is no way around this as all processors have agreements with credit card companies

Have you observed any difference after crossing 15k, over a period of time?

You are actually the one I thought of when I made this post because I've seen you mention it before.

I do not have accounts doing 15K monthly as this is way too much to run on one account but thresholds exist , with quantity of annual transactions for sure , with turnover most likely

Definitely so - merchant account in effect with checks and balances all done for security measure

$15k/month is $500 a day,this is not a big deal for a brick and mortar retail store,say a restaurant or even fast food.or a supermarket.
I just came back from shopping,one supermarket has 2 lb and up live lobster in tank,selling for $9.99/lb,someone bought 4.

Back in 2017-2019, at my peak, because I only used eBay during that time, I actually processed almost $60k during December holiday season. One month, $60k. I would never do that now. Now I look back at that and realize how reckless I was. Even 2021 I was pushing $40k a month, and then wondered why I faced issues.

On 01/01/2018 out of the blue I got a suspension, which was manual review. I fixed it, but still. If they were doing that back then, with all the new tech out now, it would be so easy to pin point certain sellers like me for risk assessments.

Ever since I have kept my sales within $8-$12k per month, eBay has been a pleasure to sell on again.

Currently I have sold 750 items this year to date, smooth sailing so far.

You run that much through 1 ebay account no problem?

pushing 40K on ebay is an equivalent being a local politician who can fall if any dirt is found on them and made public

Wow, big numbers to be running on one account. I couldn't picture putting that many eggs into one basket, especially with eBay.

None so far, fingers crossed. This account is definitely an anomaly, it was about 1-2 months of selling used crap I was trying to get rid of (gym clothes, hats, etc) then Sep/Oct it started selling $500 items right off the bat and in somewhat high volumes. Knock on wood it keeps up

I'm using a buying account thats aged about 6 years, with my selling activity starting in September. I've sold so far 1.2k.

Zero requests on the account for me. I have remained extremely disciplined with tracking my inventory because I sell on various markets, to prevent INRC. Since 2020, pretty much all my accounts got suspended because of this.

Honestly feels so good to have an account almost a year of activity. Have had to start, and stop so many times. But, all that taught me so many things. I feel like I know eBay much more than most people who I talk to on the phone, so I rarely call.
