increasing my selling limit ?

faisalasif · #1 10-17-2013

hi ,

i am selling for 3 month on my stealth ebay account . i have 14 feedback and i always complete my 10 item on selling from 3 months . do you think i should call for increasing my selling limited ?

Don't call eBay. Just let the limits increase naturally. If you ring you risk loosing the account

If you need to sell more, create another account.

There are many posts on why not to call eBay. It just puts human eyes on your account and increases the likely-hood of a suspension/limitation. You want to stay under the radar. To put it simply, its just not worth it.

I know when the accounts are new, it is very tempting to try to get their limits increased. I also have a few newer stealths that are still 5/$500. But you must learn to crawl before you walk and walk before you run.

Follow JamesNorth's advice of creating more accounts if you need to sell more quickly. Heck, create many stealth accounts as these will pay off in the long run.

Slow and steady wins the race

Letting it grow naturally is a good safer move.

The issue of calling is 1) you never know for 100% if there will be some actions taken and 2) (Important) if you have a bad agent, your account could suffer - few examples that come to mind

well , I'm not going to call ebay for increasing my limit as i don't want to risk my ebay account . do i have to wait 3 month more or it can be increase any time ?

It can increase at any time. No rule for it, just keep selling to the max and eventually it will be increased.

It could increase any time...which platform of eB are you working of off?

Should start having more back-up accounts

What are you using to generate a US IP?

Does paypal have a bank account attached?

Pakistan account selling on eb.com platform...I dont think it's your best interest to be calling in based on your country flag

Got an account that I have been selling on for 5 months. Still stuck at 10/$1000. DSRs are all high 30+ selling feedback plus the 20+ buying feedback legit items I had before. And I am still stuck. Patience is a virtue but I hear you. It really does suck but with the Holidays coming up eBay has a tendency to bump limits. That is what I am hoping for. Calling eBay if you are in the US is risky if you are in another country I would say definitely not.

@vogeltron, that sucks to hear - seems worse for auto-increases on my eb.ca accounts

Yea, been maxing out the 10 items.

I'm in the us and when my first group if stealths started maturing at all different fines some 6 weeks to the longest 6 months , but I'd say the average time was 3-5 months in between this time frame most increases thats why it's good to have many going u can see all different results and you sometimes get a huge increase one went from 20/ 5000 to 300/30000 less than 3 months , but if I'd only had the one, one of the first made I'd be discouraged the Paypal holds were listed the fastest but I was stuck at 10/1000 from January till June now it's just 50/5000 but it was nice to get that, there is a randomness to there equation there had to be so make more accounts and u will see the crazy patterns of raises , the account that too l 6 months was 100% Paypal lifted there holds within 2 months it started some through others held but by 3rd month no holds , the other accounts received limit increases than holds lifted after

Absolutely, every serious eBay stealther should always be planning for the worst and hoping for the best. That starting prepping accounts way ahead of time. Personally I have many stickily buying accounts that I start prepping years in advance of ever selling. I am sure it is the same for many of the serious stealth user on here. Sorry to use a football reference, but I start prepping my third string QBs so if my main accounts and my backups falter I am at least have a chance.

I just added 2 power-sellers and a above standard account so now have 3 TRS accounts and one above standard , and I needed one positive to push it to 98 and I new the exact seller to buy receipts from and usually has automated but last night it was delayed and all the other accounts went thru evaluation it was like ebay was saying buy one item , I logged in the night before and it was much further but I received 10 buyers positives today and had work in other accounts and when logged in I couldn't believe at 9pm the evaluation didn't happen I got to 98 but there's a delay from feedback page to seller performance so it didn't register so I need to wait a month.

But the next week I'm taking a breather and cranking accounts out and just working on my 2-3 month old accounts I have a big group overnight created 4 more and listed on another 4, so this week I'm focusing on the future which is amust
