I've been telling you guys this for quite awhile. Ebay and amazon are shaking in there boots right now because of Alibabba is seriously consider going public and expanding to the USA and EUROPE. Ebay used to be the big fish in the pond but theres always a bigger fish.
Add the looming holiday season and you have a very anxious ebay.
I always heard the you need to find another platform to sell on, never said amazon directly. I told them that strategy will come back to haunt you when the competiton has more sellers and buyers than you do and your earnings fall and you miss the projections from wallstreet because of your piss poor attitude.

Digi Darwinism people. | Yeah. I am getting sick of some the eb rep terrible attitude when tell you to sell somewhere else, especially when they pushed the wrong buttons and trash your account by mistake.

Wish they lift my last two current active account up to more than 10 items per month. One is qualify for powerseller since last month but it haven't start yet, hope it does in a few days when they do the review.

Just make more accounts you will find after 20 - 30 accounts u will get better at making stealth accounts and u will see your limits being raised on multiple accounts and u will have more limits than u will need.
The first group of accounts I made took the longest to mature and get raises, the first I made just got a raise last month after 7 months
But as I created more accounts you start making them better and with patience and now accounts that are just 2 months old have no Paypal holds and limits of 100/10,000

Can you elaborate on what "making them better" means? I was under the impression that as long as you follow stealth guidelines (not linking, aging accounts, listing slowly in the beginning, completely different set of cookies/information/ips) that the accounts will be fine and will get limit raises over time?

My first batch of 10 accounts is not that great but i am learning a lot. Each mistake or road block i pause and think. Each phone call with eb/pp i learn a little more.
My current goal is to reach 100 active accounts with many i built myself.

As you make more (stealth) accounts, you work out how to sell to limits and how to stay under radar.

I am having the same experiences.
I hadn't really been checking the limits until I noticed one account went from 5000 to 45000 in the middle of the month. This waiting for the next month to lift selling limits rule seems to have been thrown out the window [an idea I support by the way]. I had payment holds on 2 new accounts lifted after about a month [I was shipping within 24 hours of payment].
Lets make hay while the sun shines [once ebay comes back online that is]

I guess the key thing is PayPal. I mean soon has you hit the limit on PayPal, you are required to send in the docs. So until the limits are not raised on PayPal, the ebay increase would not be useful.

There's only so much you can learn from the guide and forum which will give u the base knowledge to create accounts and operate.
But than there is alot you will learn from actually doing, experience is priceless.
As you keep making accounts you figure out different things to do and not, you sharpen your skill just like anything else, the more you do the better you will get.
It becomes an art form making and running stealth accounts and that is the part that comes with experience , you can only go so far from reading and lectures and than when u take that knowledge and apply it you start perfecting your craft.
One of my newest accounts received a 300/$30,000 raise a couple days ago, and yes there is randomness but the last group of accounts I made are all at 100/5000 minimum and they are just under 3 months with Paypal holds gone
And I believe patience is the biggest key to stealth
In the beginning you are just cranking them out so that you can get sales coming in after u were just shut down and there is no waiting just create and list .and we all been there and we all need money so you have to do what u need to do.
But after you build enough accounts where you are back and bigger than you were when u were suspended comes the big growth.
Now you have steady sales comming in more than enough limits and at this time I believe to be the best in creating because you are doing it calmly and with patience and these accounts will come out the best and you will understand what I'm talking about when u get to this point

Why are you needing to call them is what I would ask because I have not talked to eb or pp for a long time.

Your creating them and selling right away which triggers this identity check create ur Paypal ads bank And CC than your ebay after the 3 days for deposits to show.
Than browse buy few items , after about two weeks , some like a month but if you create over 2 weeks and sell just one low risk item and move on to the next account and don't come back till the new month and than list too ur limits I find you get raises sometimes in that 2nd month and no mc999

I just got my limit increase from HK$1900 to HK$9500 and can list 20 items from 10 previously. But I still have a category limit on my account. Looks like EB has not increased this limit together with the other two limits. Is it a normal rule of EB or I have to wait 90 days after my account creation to get this limit raise by by EB.

No rules for limit increases on eBay.
Sell to the max each month and eventually the limit increases will come.

Other Asian sellers have had little luck with increases.
Be careful of how you look after this account.
Go slowly.

I am still scratching my head. Have an account with like 40 purchasing feedback real stuff I got, not $1 items. But I also have been selling for 4 months now and have 30 selling Feedback. No Low DSRs. No complaints or refunds or anything else. And I still can't get a limit increase. Crazy.
