Did eBay change their attitude towards new sellers?
 

Hello everyone,

I'm a new member since sept. 18th. That first day i purchased something with my dad's credit card valued $18. Few days later i created a seller account. Thus, they gave me 100/5000 selling limits. wow! So i started listing my first item for a used jacket. Then, two days later i listed two more used clothing and third day i even listed dvd's tv shows which they were sold successfully. Here is what i don't get it. Typically ebay would place a restriction for new sellers. then youd call them for verification in order to reinstate your account . But in my case my account hasn;t seen any of that. Now i'm currently listing 7 items for used clothing, shoes and nothing is taken down and all this happened within a month

Did ebay change their attitude towards newbies?

A broken clock is right twice a day, Also we don't know what information you used to open the ebay account. In the past I've opened Ebay accounts with so high limits they weren't even shown.....

Also the TV Show DVD's are super high risk. Just because you got lucky on this one doesn't mean it will repeat.

Take care of that account like a baby.

Pure luck, but they know they have to change there attitude towards sellers. They can't be banning sellers like crazy they need us. Especially now not being soo much with paypal they need to treat their sellers better.

I think this had to do something with the credit line of my cc. if your bank that issues you the card is over $1000 then ebay can get notice of that to give them enough security and trust about yourself. By the way, the rare thing is that i am able to list BIN using the "immediate payment required" even though i didn't add any bank account nor became verified on paypal tho considering my account is less than a month.

Sure i will, I don't see there is anything wrong selling used clothing, shoes which are most of the stuff i need to get rid of
