Increase selling limits
 

Hi,

I am fairly new to this forum and have been doing a lot of reading, great source of information.

I have recently bought an ebay account and fully verified paypal account with all limits removed. Ebay selling limits are 25/750.

I know from reading through the forum that everyone's advice is not to ring ebay to increase limits.

If I have ID and know all the security questions associated with the account. All the items I am selling are legit and have invoices, etc. What is the reason why I can't ring them to increase?

Any feedback would be a great help.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

They'll tell you to convert the account to business for starters.

To be successful with stealth you need to have patience. The limit increases will come, just wait it out.

If you want to sell more now, buy more accounts. ;)

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Also dont be under the illusion that just because docs were sent in and accepted one time, that it becomes a "done deal" every other time it is required.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Will it cause any problems if I do convert the account to a business account? Will this help my selling limits increase?

Re: Increase selling limits
 

They wont even entertain you unless you convert to business.

I sense impending doom for your new account . . . .

I mentioned this earlier in my other thread, but why are people all hyped up by getting selling limits increased? If u sell more than a certain amount, PayPal is going to demand id, and ssn which is going to give u tons of problems. And of course there is the debate of getting tons of ein which I'm not sure just yet if that could be done.

Might as well create tons of stealths

This is UK ebay / paypal. No SSN requirement.

Oops, sorry. Lol. Forgot about that. Can a mod delete my last message? Thx

Every Time u call in you put your account at risk, whether it's legit or not does not matter, if there is the slightest risk found and trust me they always find something it could be something' as little as a customer opening a case to return an item and I'm talking one case per 200 sales they will tear ur beautiful account up trust me been their had accounts shut down in the past with 5.0 DSRS across the board and 100% feedback and was told I was a risk, so if ur willing to lose an account try it u may even get the raise but now ur account is being watched and could get closed down days or weeks or couple months later, point being when u call u put ur account that was hidden in the huge pool of accounts and now have made ur self stand out and the accounts that stand out are the accounts that have a higher suspension rate because now it's not just the bots it's the bots and human eye u need to trick and the second is much harder


Create accounts you need to practice making them because one account will never cut it if you plan to sell on eBay, so keep making them and u will find each time u will find a better way and make better and better accounts plus each account is a raise u just gave ur self

Re: Increase selling limits
 

As for increases, it depends on how much volume you sell. I have an account that moves hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. That would take several hundred new stealth accounts and a whole lot more work. It is so much easier to automate relisting...... but I guess it depends on the scale of your business.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Sell to the max each month. Increase will come. That is all there is to it. Ringing is an unneeded unnecessary risk

Re: Increase selling limits
 

@yankee

I was really talking about eBay needing some info from u. I have just gotten my limits increased on two accts, but like thinking what is the point? I can't pass Id verify anyways. I've read different stories for ein. Some say u could only get 1 per lifetime, some say I can get many. Anyone know the answer to this? Then there r some that say that EBay can look u up with real info thru ein, so not sure if I want to add ein. This is the problem that I am debating.

I also hope this did not go too off topic with op, lol

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I had limit increases within 6 weeks on both my stealth accounts that I purchased through here.. both accounts doing well and I haven't rang eB at all for limit increases.

Just sit tight, I know it's frustrating but this needs to be a long term solution not a short term money making mission.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Welcome to the forums OP - sell to the max limits per month and let the account grow naturally - don't call up for limit increases.

All the best

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I had limit increased 1 day after listing on multiple accounts :)

nerrrrrrr :mod:

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I've had the same lately, from 10/1,000 to 30/3,000. And those raises came just right after listing also, not even sold items or feedback!

Re: Increase selling limits
 

thats awesome u guys got increases so fast.

I have an account, nearly ten feedback and a week away from 90 day mark.

still 10 item limit. stinks but what can I do? I try to contact buyers for feedback and ship fast.

been slow here

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I have ran both auctions and buy it nows. still no increases.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Buyers aren't leaving you feedback?!?

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I have tried and tried to contact them and ask nicely for feedback. few have responded.

the 90 day mark is coming so it should be interesting to see what happens. not really counting on anything since the lifted limits seem really unpredictable

Re: Increase selling limits
 

It is pretty unpredictable. All down to luck of the draw. More accounts you have more likely you will get an increase on one of them

Re: Increase selling limits
 

My son has had an ebay account for about 3 months was stuck on 10/650 limits, about 6 weeks ago it went up to 25/1000, last week it went up to 80/2900, now just tonight it's leapt up to 240/6900, and he only has 4 items listed at the moment and has never had more than 10 items listed and is on feedback of 22, he has only sold 39 items in total over the 3 months as well so these increases have come completely out of the blue, he has managed to achieve it without selling up to the limits, has been selling mostly ecigs of all things!

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Anybody have experience with calling in with a 0/0 limit ...failing the database questions but still getting a 25/1250 limit increase? I realize its rare to get this but I have heard these types of accounts NEVER see natural increases?

Re: Increase selling limits
 

There are a few people on Fiverr who apparently know how to cheat the system and for $5 will call Ebay support and increase your selling limits
What do you guys think on this?

Re: Increase selling limits
 

They probably aren't cheating the system, just using someones information to verify it. Unless you hack Ebay that doesn't seem plausible if they actually call in to speak to a representative.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I would recommended staying on this forum to buy. They may do what they do and increase limits, but who knows what happens in 3 months? In my eyes thats not good stealth, but thats just me.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I'd have to agree with you there rather keep the account than have a good run for say a month
However i was highly interested in it

thanks

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I say create a new account and test it. Nothing wrong with testing.

By the way, 123 offers a service for his clients.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

If anyone is dumb enough to trust someone on Fiverr with their account....then by all means, go for it.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

You would not test the service on a new stealth? Maybe learn a new trick?(I understand most likely not) worst case scenario is you waste a few dollars testing it and a little bit of time. lol

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Naw, I like getting my limit increases naturally, never had an account that didn't get a limit increase.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Mmmmm you dont hand over your account, They just require few details such as account name etc etc

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Even though I have bought one account from proskater which was 100/5000 I only did it because I had to. I have 19 other stealths all made by me, that way I KNOW how it was made (which is the only way you can truly be stealth)

The only reason is like I said you will never truly know if your account is in jeopardy since it was created by someone who is a complete stranger. If your set stealth wise and this one account will NEVER make or break you (because you spread sales)..I'd do it like yankee said, its only 5 dollars lol

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Its the love/hate thing with Ebay. Its pretty rewarding to see that limit increase email when you worked hard to get it. Makes it seem more legit.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

There is obviously a proven way of calling ebay and getting limits increased after creating an account, not 100% of course but with good probability of working. How else are these 100/5000 new accounts being sold all the time. It's a numbers game, create 20 accounts, call on them, maybe get half to increase limits, worth it in my opinion.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

but from what I have seen reading around in here, those new 100/5000 accounts to start don't usually get new limit increase past that for a long while, while other accounts that start at 10/1000 and increase naturally go to things like 25, 50, 80, 140, 280 etc not exactly that and bypass the 100/5000 and keep increasing after that much faster...any experienced guys here can confirm this pattern?

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I have a bunch of 10-1000 accounts become 30-3000 within a week and then at 30 days 90-9000 Mine have not had enough time to get to 90 days of use but from what I understand it then goes to 280 units at 90 days for many.

Oddly today, on the 1st, I have not received a single increase on a stealth(as far as I know) But I am sure that the accounts I listed the first ten items on yesterday, all will be raised to 30-3000 next week. Usually after tracking is loaded at the end of the first two auctions.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

I have never had a 100-5000 account increase, but honestly, the way I have used them, I would not.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

Thanks for the input yankee, proves at least a bit the pattern that I've seen, I think better to have a bunch of 10/1000 going and take them the long run.

BTW on a different topic since I've seen you have lots of account and sales, how do you personally handle the paypal 200/$20K limit issue, specifically the 200 sales, seems to me it's rather easily to get to 200 sales a year, that's only 16 sales a month and with limits anything over 50 wouldn't be enough to get to those 200 over a year, unless only big price items over $100 are being sold.

Re: Increase selling limits
 

On these small accounts I sell medium priced items. $20-100 and then the next week after the increase, I increase the mix of $300-800 items and try to keep the first 30 days below 2k.
Now my plan is to run several $300-1200 items with most being around $500 all on a five day auction ending Sunday night(my favorite ending time for auctions) and collect 10-18k per account on a single night.

To my understanding, the paypal will get limited until sometime late January 2015 and then I will most likely do the same again. If I loose these accounts, I really don't care either. I will not supply any tax info or create new companies/EIN this year.

On small items, residual items, etc...I have some pretty large EIN accounts. Some very large accounts. These are always in risk these days. I suggest not creating mega accounts. Keep them under 30k in sales and have several. Also increases your write offs and lowers tax liabilities if done correctly.
