Hi, I stumbled upon this today after being "vetted" and I just want your guys opinion.
My account has been open for 62 days. Up until about 3 weeks ago I had a limit of 100/$5,000. I called ebay and had them up this to 150/$6500 with no problems. Well I had a lot of sales this month and I was close to my limit, so I called again today.
The guy I spoke with was really nice and said he could up it again to 175/$7500. But as soon as I got off the phone I got a notification on my account saying I can't list any new items until I send in some invoices to prove my inventory of just 1 of items that I have listed. They didn't stop any of my current listings. This seems to be like a soft restriction or whatever you call it. They didn't ask for ID or SS # or anything like that which I thought was kind of a good thing.
I had some invoices made up by a friend of mine that owns a pawnshop locally in my city, because I buy these goods from china and I just thought it would look better to say I have a supplier that's local and in the USA.
Anyway, I am really nervous. I have no other way of opening new accounts or anything. What are the chances that they will lift the restriction on my account? Ebay is my sole income right now, and I am super freaked out. Does anyone have any insite or can you tell me something that might ease my mind? Should I call the vetting department to speak with them directly? Or should I just wait until they review my faxed in invoices? |
