0 selling limits
 

I just created a stealth account few weeks ago, it has 0 selling limits, so I can't list anything unless I request for more. Anyone having this problem? It seems rare. What should I do about it? Give up the account?
Thanks

NEVER Heard of that, Im assumming that you did indeed create a SELLERS ACCOUNT, I would Let the account sit, buy a thing or 2 on it, then after you have a Bit of history, try to list something "safe" on it if it does not work scrap the account and make a new one

Do you have a Paypal account linked to the EBay account?

Yes I was going to list something "safe" first but I will have to try to buy something first, Thanks.

Yes Linked. I have google searched about this problem, and tried the solution but it still showing 0 selling limits. That's why I am trying to ask here. Don't know why.

Did you tried to sell on a newest account? I think you should wait your account 30 days old before list item.

Are you sure you have all your selling details updated? Sounds like you are missing some crucial info.

There have been reports from other users like you said.

What country do you use

:juggle:

It hasn't happened lately, but I have created some accounts that I can't sell on 0 items/$0.

Had me thinking if I had done anything wrong....but that was maybe 4 or 5 months ago. Haven't had it happen since. Used to get a lot of 10/500 and now the usual is 10/1000 with the ultra rare occurrence of an account having no limits.

The question is ...have you tried listing on those accounts? What message do you get when trying to list something?

Once your register for ebay, are limits provided to you instantly on your seller page?

happened to me
 

I've had it happen to me twice in the last week or so. Not sure if it is because I made a brand new account, then created a seller account and went to list an item. You aren't made aware of your limit until you list your first item. Thats when they hit you with the message that you cant list because you are over your limit of 0 items.

try to unlink and then link again also try speaking to ebay live support ( chat )

Actually if you subscribe to eBay selling manager, which is free; you can find out about your selling limit right away.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

I am reviving this thread because I just got the same "This account has no related account at this time." message along with a 0 selling limits. My account is US based and I opened it 2 weeks ago. Been browsing and watching items to let cookies be downloaded as well. My other stealth is going strong (both opened at the same time). Just weird. I think it is pretty much a spot check basis.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

I have never had this happen to me or heard of it before now? I'd buy a couple of cheap items ad see if that changes in 2 or 3 weeks...if not, even though it's not the bast thing, I'd call them, as you have nothing to lose...but that's just me.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

I just got the same thing.

newer account went to list first item bam 0 limit. is this a force all in to check background?

days have passed since creation and very low risk item

Re: 0 selling limits
 

I got the same situation with two account in last week. Something is wrong, maybe eBay want that all seller have to pass a background check!!!

Re: 0 selling limits
 

made 2 accounts today. 1 got hit with the review, 1 could list just fine

Re: 0 selling limits
 

i had this happen to me about 3 weaks ago then i made 2 more and they are fine 10/1000

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Same thing has happen to me i have made over 15-20 stealth accounts before! But this week i got hit with the same things as well! o limit 2 different times....if anyone has any info please speak I'm tired going thru this

Re: 0 selling limits
 

This is happening more and more, I noticed...

Re: 0 selling limits
 

For me it's the opposite and happening a lot less

I been making a lot of accounts and everyday the last 4 weeks

Now a month ago it was happening 3 out of 4 accounts were getting 0/0

Now and especially the last 4 days i get o/0 limits maybe 1 or 2 out of 10 accounts made

So far in the last few weeks this week by far is the best for making accounts

Now these are my results , I think that possibly they have different zones at different times that they make registering easier and harder

I called in twice with 0/0 just to see once I was asked to send ID and utility bill the other time the rep when he couldn't find any public records gave me 25/1200 limits

Re: happened to me
 

unless you registered yourself as a seller.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Is possible that to avoid this, is needed verify the PP and linked to the eBay account before make the seller account.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

hi i am having this same issue is ebay getting stricter about new accounts i never had it where i have 0/0 limit i have made a ton of accounts in the past. I do everything the same. So i dont get it.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Outline your steps please.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

is your address legitimate>? or variation?

Re: 0 selling limits
 

You can repeat the same process, exactly step by step, and you will get the 0/0 limits sometimes. I do the same process over and over, and I get the 0/0 limits 10-20% of the time. I use to never get this, but recently it has become a pain in the arse. I would scrap the account because when you call they will drag you through the database to answer questions.

I have 12 EB/PP accounts that I am about to make. I expect 2-3 to get 0/0 limits judging from past recent experience.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Do you verify your paypal accounts before adding the eBay account and making it a selling account??

Because now it seems that they have become even more strict about having a verified paypal

Even with the original MC999 I noticed, some reps will go thru all the easy questions and won't reinstate the account until u verify the paypal and call back.

Not every but some reps won't let that slide, they will even say that u will get suspended because it will be passed the 48 hour mark to call, but they make a note that u did call and they reinstate

But much easier to verify the paypal first, it may even eliminate some of those 0/0 accounts

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Totally agree this is what happened to me in the past and DM also stated the best way to not get the 0/0 limits. Follow his advice and you will have no problems.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Well the thing is i use a real address but the name doesn't live at that address i use a forwarding number from callfire that is forwarded to my tmobile cell phone. I verify the paypal before i become a seller. I list a low cost item like eyeliner maybeline . I bought two cheap items beforehand as a buyer. So i dont know what it could be than i list that first item and they MC999 me saying i went past my selling limit. Than i check my limit it's 0/0.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

I try to approach it like a NOOB that doesn't make them by the dozens. So I create my ebay, then selling account, then it directs me to PP, then asks for my CC, then throws me back to EB, then I check my limits.

After I have limits on the account, I will go back and add all the other info. Then I let it marinate for awhile.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

I use to create the PP first and get the bank account and credit card get confirmed and verified, then I would make the EB account. I use to never have issues that way, but now it seems like they shoot 'em down 50%+ of the time when I do them that way anymore.

I have tried different methods and I have not found a fool proof method with 100% success.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

You need to test out different methods. Many people reported the same problem, but it looks like the number of people/accounts getting 0/0s are going down.

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Many ebay is doing this to slow down the number of new accounts selling flooding their system...:eek:

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Happened to be is it worth calling or not?

Re: 0 selling limits
 

Its worth calling but you have to be lucky/ patient enough to get an easy going rep who doesnt care your info not on their data base, thats how I got my 0/0 increase.
Also, when you contact ebay dont click ''selling limits increase'' to call them, its alwasys a long hold, click ''account restrictions or suspension'' and if you are lucky enough you may be conneced to the ebay call center in indonesia. They are more easir to deal with than the one in US
