| holyhell | 08-15-2010 09:00 AM | Started fast....backing off On this new Stealth account, I am close to the dreaded $1,000 limit in 3 1/2 weeks. I was easing back and listing less, but some of the bids got out of hand, and I came closer to that deadly dollar amount.
I don't know if they do 30-day reviews on new sellers, but either way, I am listing on a second account now. Problems may still arise, though. The second account is linked to the same Paypal. So the dollar amount may still make them nervous.
I have made a lot of changes for these new accounts (you live, you learn, right?) We'll see if the changes add life to these accounts. Wish me a good report, and thanks always for everything ladies and jellybeans. |
romeo216 | 08-15-2010 04:29 PM | I sold an item for $710 on a 28 day account with no problem. That was just one of many sales I had at least 20 different transactions and the majority were over $100. I don't think $1000 is a magic number. The items I sold were supposedly high risk vero items nothing happened...not even a warning.
My accounts were banned for linking to another account but not because of anything else. |

That's one that always has made me nervous. Finding a few items that are readily available and profitable is tough enough. Having to start all over with a new account is tough also. Having to start a new account and find all new inventory to sell is murder. |
wjs010 | 08-15-2010 07:20 PM | this is interesting..OP, im surprised..what isso special about 1,000 ? yea just keep making new paypal accounts and you will be in the clear..And Romeo, pm me on how i can do that too lol |
holyhell | 08-15-2010 10:20 PM | I only say 1,000 because that's what everyone here (the higher-ups) seem to say. I lost my last Stealth account because I made too much, too fast.
I'm sure the dollar amount isn't concrete, like someone else said, it's just a gauge/guideline. |
Based on my personal experience, I totally agree that 1K may be the max you can go without being limited in some form. IMO $500 is what PP wants you withdrawing or less per month. |
jbluntz | 08-16-2010 03:52 AM | The most I've gone is $4800 on a few month old account, $500 only applies to a 1 month or less old account or if you don't have your withdrawel limits lifted. |
holyhell | 08-16-2010 11:48 AM | Thank you so much jbuntz. It's great to hear some good news. |
boxcutters | 08-16-2010 12:01 PM | $1k is definately not the magic numbers. Theres more to just the money coming in that can limit you
Ive sold way over $1000 plus on accounts that are 1 month old over a 30 day period |
holyhell | 08-16-2010 12:06 PM | Wow, you guys are the best. I believe a MAJOR problem that brought a limitation and request for invoices was this-
I got carried away with Second Chance Offers, I always did great with those. So it was obvious that I had multiples. And I wasn't spreading out the categories. When you continue to overuse the same three categories, they know you have a stockpile. |

I think new/few months old eBay accounts have a monthly limit of $5,000 before they suspend you and request for invoices, etc... |
mdiva901 | 08-16-2010 07:10 PM | Right now i'm over 3000 when they will put me on suspension. What about paypal limit. What is it. |
Well as I said. Based on my personal experience. And $500 a month or less is what PP wants you withdrawing regardless of being fully verified without limits. I've had a number of accounts hit right at the 1K mark. This is why I don't like to give general advice. It's actually different for everyone, because no 2 accounts are alike. There is really never a clear answer to these types of questions. |

Are you selling high-risk vero items? How many feedback does the account have? How old is it? And during what time frame are you receiving payments? (500 a week? etc..) And how much are you withdrawing? and when? |
SaiJin | 08-16-2010 07:29 PM | Jbuntz: Are you referring to account opened within a month or a few to several months non selling account that just got activated to sell? |
jbluntz | 08-16-2010 08:01 PM | You got it, as OG said there's a 5k monthly limit on new accounts, I don't activate my accounts until they're a few months anyway. |
holyhell | 08-16-2010 08:21 PM | Good Lord, I haven't even been in the ballpark of 5k. |

mdiva901 | 08-17-2010 01:51 AM | I'm very nervous now because i have an account balance with them and not sure if they will put me on suspension. I just started and never sold anything before and this is crazy! I dont know what to do next. What can i do next. Right now i'm reading the book so i create a new account. But its a process and i'm slow because i work alot. WTF I'm starting not to like this |
mdiva901 | 08-17-2010 02:00 AM | ok these items are not vero. Just selling fast |
jbluntz | 08-17-2010 02:00 AM | I would try to tone it down a little, on that account, open another account and start moving your sales onto that one little by little and keep reading the forums, you've got all the answers you need right here. |

When you continue to overuse the same three categories, they know you have a stockpile. | Second chance offers are great for vero items because they do not show up when you do a "completed" sale search.
Also with vero items IMO it is very risky to just hit the relist button because if the vero rights holder has saved it as a watched item, they will receive an email saying it has been relisted. | All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:20 AM. | |
