Do accounts with no selling limits exist?
 

Is there such a thing as an account without a selling limit?

Discuss.

:fight:

All accounts have limits, and if you do not see limits in your myeBay guess what? you have limits just call eBay and they will tell you, FD let them figure it out on their own. :rolleyes:

On an old account I saw no limits but on a general call to ebay it came up and there was a limit of 30k. I just never reached it to see it

When I called eBay on my main account (not stealth) I was told that I had no limits whatsoever. On all my stealth accounts I definitely have limits.

simple fact some accounts have limits some accounts dont

and everyone who had limited accounts will click "no"

and everyone who have no limits will click "yes"

Are talking stealth accounts, or personal? :ranger:

mine was a personal legit account

the only way to find out if your account is "unlimited" is to call ebay and ask them. You'll get your answer.

You can still make accounts with no selling limits on random. However, there are still category limits.

was asked to delete my response. was told everything is not for everybody.. Fair enough

Yes randomly every so often you are blessed with a unlimited account, but even those have limits ( category limits etc.) you just have to hit that ceiling to find out, or as stated several times prior to call eBay. This thread should be closed already no point in going around the " merry go' Round" :bored:

2 months ago, I couldn't see what my selling limit was when I looked around in My eBay. I had to call and I was told that my selling limit was "unlimited". And then he said something like every 30 days they re-evaluate the account or something? I didn't quite understand that. I don't know what they base the evaluation on because I haven't even been selling on it much recently. Just sold 2 items totalling $190 within the past 2 weeks. Before that I hadn't sold anything for 4 or 5 months. I'm pretty sure my selling limit is still unlimited, as it still doesn't show anything in My eBay. Compare that to 2 other accounts of mine, I'm able to see the 10 items/$1,000 limit or whatever it is.

None of my accounts are stealth. I should probably set some up shouldn't I?

I have a 3 week old Stealth Account that has NO limits at all.
I got lucky with that one....

When you are able to verify the account information the accounts are in a totally different standing.

Better get on making some account, you never know when the game will change.

Real lucky, glad to get some real input instead of hear say.

It does happen, just so random :doh:

Hopefully it will stay unlimited for you.

I have to go with: these accounts do not exist.

Here's why:

Even when you're able to verify account information, sometimes they go down. 12 percent or so of people on this forum so they're ebay account was shut down for little or no reason. (I forget where the poll is, but it I remember the majority voted for vero)

The account limits are not in your control. It's that simple. It's up to other people, and it's just a mouse click to them. I've spent the last 4 years on this forum reading constantly over and over again that ebay shut someone down when everything was going perfectly. You guys think because there are no numbers on your selling section that the account has no limits? That's incredibly naive considering the website we're all a part of.

ebay does review accounts constantly. Today it may appear to have no selling limits, but in truth you just don't know what it is. That account is going to get shut down, and has a possibility of being shut down, and you darn well know it.

If you had an account that is truly unlimited, why go make more? You know it's not really unlimited, I know it's not really unlimited...

On top of all that, you have to contend with paypal, or whatever company you're using to accept paypal. Although you can get a tax ID, etc..... if it's all really stealth, you're max selling limit is about 1700 dollars a month in my opinion.

I have stealths with no paypal just a.net feeding my merchant from the day of creation did about 5k monthly as i got them up to 100/5000 by calling. Its random like life :confused:

I would imagine they control it based on the amount of churn they're willing to accept during any month. Like when a bank is more willing to lend money one month, and less willing the next.

Truly 100% Unlimited accounts DO Exist, in BOTH Ebay and Amazon, they are Known as "ISO" accounts, short for Isolated, these are Contract accounts, Accounts that belong to Corporations like Acer, Tiger Direct, Best Buy, ect, ect. These accounts are Isolated from Accounts like Ours.

When these type companies open accounts do you think that someone who works for them Logs on to Ebay and Paypal and goes through same the Process that we go through?, No, The company sits down with Ebay and negotiates a Contract with Ebay, How Much they will Pay in Commision, How they will deal with Customers, Returns, Shipping, feedback ect, ect

Platinum accounts are eligible to become ISO Accounts, but I believe that they too have no Selling limits per say

Huh... I always knew there was some kind of secret agreement for bigger companies. Good to know.

Nothing Secret about it, I Know about it because I called Ebay and asked a few years back, they have a Minimim set of criterior that the company must meet to Qualify, if you have that Minimum, then they set you up with and "Account Specalist" and you negociate your contract, and off you go,

And like I said above I believe that Platinum Powerseller accounts have NO Velocity limits as well, MANY of these Platinum accounts have HUNDERDS of THOUSANDS of active Listings EVERY Minute of Every day, i cannot see them Having Selling Limits,,

I hadn't considered companies selling warehouses full of inventory...

My intention in this thread was to bring people back down to Earth when they get an account that doesn't have visible limits.

The REAL Truth is that EVERY Common Account has a Selling Limit, whether you see it Posted or not, It has ALWAYS been like that, anyone who thinks otherwise is Foolish,

I remember Back in the day as soon as you sold $750.00 in a Month you got an MC999 and a Phone call asking you for supplier Recipts, I have always felt that Ebay Showing us our selling limits was the BEST thing that they ever did for Sellers, Now you KNOW where the Line is, you NEVER knew in the Past,

In a nut shell.

There will be and there are sellers, who sell without tripping limits.

Many & varied are they. There is criteria within place with ebay that pemits this.

There is an infamous algorithm extant.
Simples.

:juggle:

i definitely ain't calling them to curb my curiosity to see what my limit is. Ain't broke... don't fix it

or in my case... don't bring any attention to something thats already working

i have 1 le git account, couple stea lths running nicely...a couple more in the early process.

my main account has about 400-450 listings
i use color and size variations for them all...which raises the amount of items i have for sale drastically.
at he bottom of the e bay page where it says the amount of items and the amount of money i have listed is .....wayyy high. hundreds or thousands...

this is all because of the variations

if i do have a limit .......its got to be ???..........
i just wouldn't have any idea......a million....lmmfao...not calling to see...

wish i could them to limit me about 10 accounts like that...i'd be all done in a couple years.


the two others thats been running for about 14-16 months are still in great shape....300 items,,,$5000.....no variations on these buggers...dern-it


good luck

I have several accounts from 2008 and 09 that don't display any selling limits. However, I am sure any extreme surge in sales would cause both eBay and paypal to react.

Absolutely all of the old accounts have limits?
 

Most of new accounts have limits now, and I have heard of old established accounts having limits placed, even for no reason (I have heard of the nasty "MC999 Your Selling Limits Have Changed" eMail popping out of the blue vintage accounts in excellent standing). In fact, speaking with the customer service last year, they said that all accounts had limits.

My question is, do all kind of seller accounts have limits now? I mean old/new, Below Standard/Top Rated, poor/100% feedback, 2/5 DSR accounts?

Wow - this is real news to me. I never had the faintest idea. I have 2 accounts with no visable limits and just assumed they were free and clear. Both high rolling accounts as well

Yea the limit is There, I ASSURE You, It may be 20, 30, 50 or MORE thousand a MONTH, but it is There, as soon as you Cross that Treshold---MC999 looking for more Info, this Limit also Increases incrementally with account age, sales, DSR's ect, ect,

its just like amazon, they may seem to not have limit bucuz we rarely to never reach those levels. I know for a fact that amazon has a 100k limit

Ok my experience they do exists they are just EXTREMELY rare.
I personally made one about 5 months ago...it is gone now of course lol. Cause I sometimes dabble in vero items which is the quickest way to get attention drawn and maybe even suspended over time. But the real reason I lost it is cause I got sick went to the hospital had surgery the whole nine yards which caused me to be WAY behind on my sales and everything was shipped late delivered late so on so I got some negative fb for this and my star for shipping dropped drastically. So next months review I GOT A LIMIT PLACED ON IT and was only able to sell 110 items
So it went from having NO LIMITS to getting limits because of the customer metrics so to speak dropping.
So they do actually exists and if you keep it up and ship immediately and try and stay away from vero items it can stay that way.

I also just wanted to say...I think the issue here is YES there is ALWAYS limits...There always has been. But I think what I am referring to and what some other people are as well, is that this new method that ebay has been using the last year or so with going on your my selling page and SEEING you have limits, 10/$500, 30/$2000, 110/$5,000
SO ON is and was new, the accounts that we are referring to are the ones that we now currently create and see NOTHING there on the my selling page. No numbers, no chart telling us how many more listings we can list, or we reached our amount of $$ that we can list.
As far as that YES getting accounts that do not have those limits is possible. But the old version and methods of ebay is still in place.
I dont know if that makes sense...it did in my head lol

who the hell knows. I am here because I did over 100 K in 9 days. got momentarily limited and then did another 150 k in the next 12 days..yes 250 k in the 3 weeks! relitively unlimited.... to an extent. yes to what ever degree you make it there are unllimited accounts.... my thoughts, and my opion is we are here because we don't always do it right..... My account was small compared to what the account reps I spoke with deaing with these size acconts told me.

Back in the old days, EVERYONE had unlimited accounts.

I started selling on Ebay in 2000. I had zero troubles selling about $12,000 to $30,000 a month for about 8 years straight.

Troubles started later.

There is no such thing as no limits. Not on eBay and not elsewhere. If there were accounts with no selling limits, you could list 10 billion listings. Now, will eBay let you lost 10 billion items? No. So obviously, there is no such thing as no selling limits.

They may be higher or lower, but there are limits to everything somewhere.

Re: Do accounts with no selling limits exist?
 

I received my first limits about two years ago after 8 years of selling. They made us end half our listings and we had to relearn to do business with 3800 items and $1,000,000.00 and it was a challenge ever since lol Before that we were what ebay called "White Screen" with no limits or category limits.

Re: Do accounts with no selling limits exist?
 

yes i have to agree, I have seen old accounts with no issues or visible selling limits.

but......

you would virtually be able to take over ebay with one of these accts. and eventually it would be flagged and limited.
