Activity: 0% Longevity: 96% | | 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: Quote:
You can sell up to 1500 items or up to $21,000.00 per month, whichever comes first.

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. |

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. |

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.

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.

I see a different angle... As much as we like to think OP has some mystical powers (and yet he might ), 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`...
