Call to raise selling limits

[dhunter0294]

My limits are 100/5000 right now on a TRS account all DSR's are above 4.97

Lots of sales on this account and this is my main account that has no payment holds so would like to sell more on it

Does anyone know what kind of questions they ask when called?

Also what are my chances of getting raised above 100/5000?

Have you read a thing on the forums?

A big risk to do this.

[dhunter0294]

Yes i have read, you're saying not to do it?

some people say they have done it and gotten outrageous increases, some dont and get accounts shut down

[GreenBean]

I am saying carefully consider the risk.

Describe your account more

[Sandy D]

You answered your own question then.

Every time you call ebay it is a risk.

Be prepared to lose the account(s) if you are willing to take that risk.

I work too hard to build them to have ebay wipe it clean in seconds.

Percentages are not very good.

Don't risk your account , yes there's a chance you will get a raise but also a big chance you will get asked for ID, invoices and than shut down, keep your selling up to limits and high DSRs and your limits will increase be Patient

GB and Sandy D duo have confirmed your assumption...not more is needed to be clear.

Your action is at your own discretion but listen to them.

[danshan]

this all really depends on your skill level. I feel comfortable on accounts I know I can get by verification questions. Now on accounts I am not so sure I can I NEVER call for limit increases. I say with good info on the account 70 good 30 bad for increases for shaky accounts 80 bad 20 good

just my two and half cents of advice

[Sandy D]

An account 1 1/2 years old should already be getting some decent limits.

No way would I risk that account.

I would just have a ton of others up and running spreading sales and building time, trust and a locker full of accounts to cover how many products you have to sell.

[dhunter0294]

I've already did the verification questions, that got me raised from 70/1800 to 100/5000.

I have hit 100 item limit for 4 months straight and still no increase, I've read you really need to hit both the item limit and $ limit but thats really hard to do in my category especially with auction listings.

@ SD yes thats what i'm going to try and do just get some different accounts going besides my 3 sleepers I have that I dont use.

[bramblewill]

My ebay account is 2005 600+positive feedback I have been selling maximum 100 items a month for the past 4 months would like it raised but I don`t want to rock the boat. Are you guys saying ebay might raise that selling limit of their own accord? Or is that wishful thinking?

[Dmshark25]

Yes just keep selling to limits and keep DSRs high and eventually u will get raises, phoning in puts your account at risk why would anyone do this, just create more accounts , that's how to raise limits

[rsot]

@dhunter, make your life easier and build new accounts

Been higher limits handed out by ebay UK in the past months that have been most pleasant even if unexpected.

To avoid the possibility of ID issues, consider waiting.

Good Luck

I do not think they will ask you your Invoices or any other documents which are hard to submit.
They'll usually just ask verbal questions, like what are your goals on eBay? Do you have anyone to manage your account? Where do you get your goods from? or sometimes they just check their system to show if you are eligible for the limit increase or not. If your performance is below standard in USA you will not get a limit increase.

[parker1608]

They will ask u what u sell ? where is your item come from ? Do u have any supplier ? What is the suppier name , then they will request u send supplier information or invoice .

They can and have in the past - not "hard" per say but supplier stuff

[mobilecontractsuk]

I can confirm that they have requested documents from me.
