The most insane selling limits increas ever?
 

I don't usually care much about selling limits as I spread my sales over so many accounts, but this one just hit my eye. Apparently it was increased today. This account had been selling for about 4 months now, usually 18-20 items per month, always close to the limit. I had a 20 items limit. Most buyers were non-paying bidders in the past 2 months, though ...and even out of about 40 items successfully sold I only got 4 positive feedback. Yes, 4 positive feedback received in 3 months of sales.

Today, my limit was increased from 20 to:

What the f.... :humble:

Holy ****!! I was happy today because mine went from 25 and £750 to 70 and £1700!!

It seems that one of the ebay reps had a very berry merry christmas :p

even if i have high limit, i will still sell 10-50 a month..... to avoid paypal tax id request..

You most likely received only 4 feedback due to the Christmas season, when people are less likely to leave feedback. Perhaps eBay saw that you were a good seller and provided fast shipping throughout the holiday season when they are the most uptight, and decided to reward you. Either way, I wouldn't expect selling limits to increase that much. Congrats, keep up the good work. Now become rich. :)

Good news Im just.
Makes a refreshing change from the "EB just dumped on my lawn thread"

Maybe they saw the picture of the "Dear Leader" and got scared into giving you a huge increase.

Yeah, it's really weird to go from 20 to 1500 while only having received 4 feedback. The account is fully stealth too. If they only knoew.

:brushteeth:

Wow!

You must have really done something right.

Check any of your other accounts?

Amazing.

I would sell up to a comfy amount and let it sit for a while selling only a few items here and there.

I wish ebay can give me some selling increases. Most of my accounts are still stuck at 10-20 selling limits. Maybe Sandy can "give" me some of hers, hahaha.

you lucky fecker!! lol

I started it... lol

You have been such a good friend and a technical help to me when I needed it I would in a minute.

i thanked him believing he would send me a private PM telling ME his secrets!!!

:thumb::thumb:

Sandy!!!!!

I think that whole process is automated. I doubt that eBay has people checking each and every account and raises the limits manually. I don't even see any limits on most of my accounts.

damn and here I am stuck with 10/1000 on every new stealth account lol... have you guys automatically gotten an increase in selling limits after three months without requesting?

Why Thank you so much, I am still waiting on that NFCU answer from them. The person is on vacation who does non military membership at my local branch.

I see a different angle... As much as we like to think OP has some mystical powers (and yet he might:hail:), I think this has something to do with eb trying to grease the skids for more selling activity. Seems to me they have tightened the screws so much last few months - now their bean-counters are telling them they need more listings to drive sales up again. Hence, raising limits as quickly as possible on low-risk accounts. As they say, `follow the money`...

do you buy accounts or create your own?
Thank you

I always create my own :)

@imjustme : hi, your account in US or other country?

Yeah, the inbox is indeed bursting, but I have to dissapoint everyone, there's no magic involved here. It was just crazy to see an increase like that for no reason - and I mean for no reason. I never contact eBay to increase my limits and let them increase naturally.

imjustme has years of experience - a lot of hard work and dedication to the process so...yeah folx have to respect and appreciate :thumb:

Perhaps sometimes doing less is worth more. I was never a big supporter of contacting eBay every few weeks to ask for your limits to be increased. The less visible you are to eBay the better.

Surprisingly, after I saw this I went onto my account and after 4 months of solid selling, 100% percent feedback, I finally got an increase from 10 to 30, which I am through the roof about for my first stealthers which are finally starting to grow. I listened to everyone in the forum and let them grow naturally and it is already paying off. Thanks again to everyone for helping, could not have done it without everyone :)

OK, I am at a loss. You guys are experts, so please help me. Please tell me where to look to find out what my selling limits are. I have looked and so far have not found it.

And congrats to the big winner with the mega-increase!

So agree
 

I so agree, I think they are getting shot with their own weapon. I sure hope I will be on the list of the low-risk accounts and get some limits raised.

Go to my eBay and go to SELLING, then ALL SELLING, then when that displays on the top of your current/active auctions you will see your limits. if you dont have any, that is great :-)

Just checked on my real account as I was leaving it sit a bit and got an nice increase from 2,500 items and 30,000 to 3,500 and 40,000.

Biggest jump I think I can remember ever getting at one time.

I should probably mention that this account sells only no-risk items. They're all custom made / handmade items that are not branded in any way.

I had 295 auctions up with 5,000 items in stock for each and a total of $5.1 million limit. but I could add as many as I would like. I am going to start reposting them tonight or tomorrow.

I guess it really depends on what country you do it from. If you are in a poor country you'll get limits due to fraud. If you come from a good country there are no limits as you are richer! lol. :humble:


Oh and just for the record! I use to have that 100 limit items thing! It's crap! I even called in once cause I had spent like $2,500 for all my stuff to resell and then I see this limit. So I had called up ebay and got it raised once they seen I had given pp all the proper stuff! (they even asked me if I had enough products to sell everything since I had high amounts per auction and I just explained too them). So yeah! They either see you as a business man or some scammer loser dude!

Don't be scared call up EBay! I had one client open up a case in Australia after 4 days claiming he didn't get his package yet! Dude USA to Australia takes a month! You know PP closed the case in my favor! I just tell them straight up, I sell $1000's a month why would I scam someone for a $30 item???

I let them know that the buyer is new and could be a scammer! lol. :laugh:

You have to first learn to help yourself - experiment and create accounts - contribute back with your steps and experience and start discussion :thumb:

If you have listed your first or second item your limits will be right in front of you at the top.

Unless you got lucky and have no selling limits.

Wow! It's amazing! Never have seen this before in my 5+ years experience on eBay :ranger:
