Calling eBay to raise selling limits?

[mcmx]

I absolutely need to raise my selling limits right now.
I have a few brand name, legitimate items that I want to list & sell.

From what I remember, when you call they ask you what do you want to sell and if they're brand named.

How specific or honest do I have to be? Can I tell them that I want to sell some antique furniture, and turn around & sell some shoes and bags? Basically, I want to avoid the hassle of having to provide them with a receipt/supplier invoice..Or is that impossible to avoid?

I don't have receipts for everything so if I tell them I want to sell thousand dollar Nike shoes (brand name) they're probably going to want a receipt. I also have some older, but expensive Ralph Lauren pieces I want to sell which I don't have the receipts for anymore. They're all legitimate though! Why do they expect people to keep/have receipts for EVERYTHING? :|

FYI: 90 days is the minimum on a new account before they will raise you. FACT.

If its a new account you need to build it up.........

Exactly. Why else would they ask you to call.

They may ask questions about the items you're selling, but may also ask you to answer public database questions related to your identiy as well, if you have not already been confirmed that way.
