contact ebay to lift selling allowance
 

hey guys ive hit my monthly limit on a stealth, i was just wondering if its possible that you can contact ebay to lift the limits early on a stealth account, if so what do they ask you on the phone? has anyone ever done this or should i sit tight and wait till the end of the month??

Yes, I have done this a number of times, this can be risky but it all depends on who you get. I have had my limits raised without questions, been asked questions and had limits increased even without being able to answer them and been asked for documentation after not been able to answer the questions.

I might have to try calling on a test account to see how it goes, I would never recommend to call as stealth is usually to keep under the radar and that isnt.

i know its a pretty good account to i dont think its worth the risk maybe ill wait till the end of the month, what does your limit go upto after 60 per month? its been a while since i made a fresh one.

60?? I thought it went from 10 to 100

I have seen it go to 100/5000 and 50/3500

From what I have seen...you can but just be aware that you might get hit with ID verification I would think. Possibly different in UK though...

If you have a stealth account it is a dumb move to contact eBay. I am not in the UK so I don't know as much. But in the U.S. anytime you hit limits and what not just be humble recognize it and do your best to keep your account in the best standing possible. Trying to increase limits on a stealth account requires paperwork. You don't want eBay asking you about that on a stealth account trust me. You are better off just taking your time and working your way into good standing through good feedback and eventually eBay will let you go.

i do it on a regular basis

have your details and a script handy

they want to hear that you are a business

stealth or not makes little difference

if youve done the account set up in the right way then they have no idea your stealth :boink:

and your goals for the future. have supplier info ready to give them

tell them your an established business and are expanding

blow smoke up their backsides

i want my business to thrive with the help of ebay blah blah bla

But the problem with your advice is that taking time to work the PP account up, while being limited, means you cannot withdraw the funds.. So basically if you end up spending and selling a lot on PP you might then get stuck with a PP thats holding a lot of money..Then the 180 day hold hell and even then you arent guaranteed anything.

I would not recommend it at all.

Way too many have lost account, got limits lowered etc.

1 maybe out of 50 have been successful.

Not good enough ratio for me to risk it for.

Some of you guys here say to ride it out and wait for ebay to remove the allowances. Does anyone know how long this process can take and what the next allowance will be?


My stealth is stuck on £3500 , top rated, over 120 days trading.

This is why most of the senior members suggest always working on more and more stealth accounts. Never put to much stock in any one account. Keeping making more. Spread your sales out get good feeds, and build trust with eBay. I am with Sandy and the other members that say contacting eBay especially on a stealth account can be very risky.

Re: contact ebay to lift selling allowance
 

Define your monthly selling....

Do you sell all items and all the monetary value?

Is paypal verified & confirmed?

Is account in order ( no claims etc)

Re: contact ebay to lift selling allowance
 

Yes Account is verified.

No claims or cases at all.

Yep reach full 3500 monthly.

I'm definitely not going to ring them. I'll take your guys advice on that 1.
