Both, stan, both.

from early 2008, it has alway been better to be as real as possible for an ebay account to match whatever algorithms ebay enforces.

Part of it is also common sense.

I've been limited by eBay before, however not PayPal.

So does anyone know what PayPal asks for in this case? From what I've read, is it just "supplier invoices" or receipts? Or do they also ask for government ID, bank statement, etc. like eBay does?

A paypal limitation can be lethal

paypal ask for everything.

They are also more demanding than ebay.

They limit for 'spike in sales': they limit for unusal transactions, ie, too much money.
They scare if they can


Shudders.

Sometimes I wish GreenBean owned eBay. I feel that I could get my account reinstated more often than not with her help lol.

May I ask in what category do you list in?

20k a month?? Do you mind sharing a bit of what you are selling? Category?

Careful on calling for limits on an eb account that is tied to multiple eb ays - just had limits split over the series.

Just got off the phone to an ebay rep for limit increases. very helpful guy who told me some things they look for:

-DSR's above 4.6

- They look at the number of items sold vs the number of feedback received.
they like to know customers are happy and checking the ratio of sold items vs feedback received is a factor they look at

- Number of items sold per day

- Average selling price per item per month

- Whether or not you have an ebay shop (this is one i didnt know about)

I got a nice bump today from 300/8500 to 1100/37000 £GBP

Good Luck everyone!

my questions is what to sell in the first 90 days, that is safe, get you high turn around rate (get sold easily) and has a moderate value (for e.g. $20 to get you to trs and limit increase soon). any hint will be appreciated!
