0/$0 selling limits

[css1]

I did a search but couldn't find much on this.

Due to the recent changes with VBA's, I usually create CA accounts but I wanted to try a US one.

Signed up 2 weeks ago, bought a few things, bid a little bit etc. PP is verified with an AVS. Today I setup the seller account and plan to post something in about 2 weeks. After phone verification, and selecting CC as payment method, my limit is 0/$0.

Does anyone know why, or what might happen in the future to this account?

Thanks in advance!

MM78 had a similar happening. His PayPal was not verified or confirmed

Wonder if you have some issue with just the AVS.

But the account has no bank right? You only verify with bank. Phone verification is for location purposes. I have had this before on an unverified PP account only confirmed with CC. Once I added the bank, limits were upped to 10/1000.

The account was Canada based - I used a Canadian account however - 2 months ago.

Did you use a USA ip?

Why choose cc as payment method and not paypal?

Before you turn any account into a sellers account you need to have it completely verified first.

PP is fully verified.

The reason I used CC is because when I made CA accounts, when I selected Paypal as the payment method, my selling was $500. When I selected CC, it was $1000. So I figured I would do the same thing here.

Yes, it's a US IP.

A little phone call and limits are 10/$3500.

Of course I haven't sold anything yet so it's not like I'm even remotely in the "clear".

Go slowly.

Keep in mind, limits can, and are, changed at will by ebay.

Good Luck

Thats good - now create 5 more accounts for 50 limit total and rotate sales

It happened to me, something strange happened to my account lately. It was my main account, my selling limits kept dropping every month but I didn't pay attention to it. It fell from 1800 items to 1444 items to 800 items, that's when I really started getting worried and gave them a call, they said my tracking numbers were not updating their status fast enough.

A shocker was when shortly after the call my limits fell to 0 - boom. I had to call eBay, paypal, kept calling them for a while and they had a list of things to submit in Paypal.
-Invoices
-Supplier Contact Details
-Resolve any problems with the eBay account ( unlock it )

They were terrible 3-weeks before my funds and I got my account back but the limits are to 200 and I am a bit hesitant about using stealth accounts yet until something seriously goes wrong.

Things have gone wrong and you got out of it - congratulations. Keep sales proper, ship quickly, satisfy your customers and maintain high performance on the account. Make back-ups right away (accounts)

Keep reading the forum to make sure you are up to date with issues.

Consider stealth accounts for later.


Be ready for issues always.

What you sell and how quickly you sell can make a huge difference on the request for documentation EVO
