One thing I do not do is sell like crazy once I get the limit increases.
Since it is this late in the year I will save the account mainly for November and December sales as I do not want to hit the 200/20k limits quickly. I dont mind getting close come December but do not want to hit it in Aug-Sept-Oct.
So I will slowly increase from smaller number of sales over the next 2 months and then hit the account to the limit at the end of the year.
If someone can confirm, I think ebay give you like a 90 day period as far as trust factor (like a job usually do) I wonder how long you're account been up. Plus holiday's come up too could be the reason.
My 4ish month old stealth account went its 1st organic increase...I did not even expect it! Went up to 1000+ items and $100,000. What a surprise :-)
I was planning on getting it manually raised to these amounts and much higher once I started actually selling on there, but I will accept this early xmas present with open arms!
