How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

Hi
ok so i created an ebay account about 3-4 days ago, bought 3-4 items, and listed 7 items today(all $12 accessories), now i have 3 more to go before the limit, and when i tried to lift limit, it asks me to call ebay to call and discuss goals for removing limits. should i go ahead and call them? and tell them i hav been selling on amazon for a long time and know how these sites work? because in my case, the accessories wont sell until i have listed 100 or more..

Wait, with time limits increase.
Just open more accounts.

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

Always best to avoid calling in eb/pp for anything. Especially on a stealth account.

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

the only stealth thing i am using is my name. i have used my correct address, correct ip, new laptop. i was banned from ebay about 5 years ago, since then my address, phone, ip, laptop everything has changed. i dont wanna make more stealth accounts, just stick to one, since i didnt really had to do alot of work making up things on this one lol..

what should i do in this case?

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

So you only want to work on 1 account, what are you going to do if this one account gets limited/banned? the reason we tell people to make more isn't because were trying to get you to do a lot of work.....it's so you have a backup. It's like driving a car without a spare, your really not seeing the big picture.

In the end, it's up to you what you do but seriously....take our advice, make more accounts and have them ready.

start working again on new account if this one gets limited lol. ok so if i make lets say 3 more accounts, all will have 10 items selling limit, so 40 items in total. when would these limits raise? also, do u link all ebay to one paypal or make new papals too?
thanks

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

Never link anything.

Keep each ebay and paypal apart.


LINK is a bad word. If you link you can lose all accounts.
:eek:

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

ok,so basically right now all i have to do is open new accounts and wait and list 10items on each, but there is a big market on ebay for accessories and listing loads is the trick in my category, how can i take care of it

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

Then open 10, 20, or 50 more accounts

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

Spread your sales

Work hard and offer great service so the account(s) grow naturally.

Work hard

oops, I said that already.

Let me guess, you sell in Cell Phone accessories section, right?

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

If you do call ebay to get your limits increased youll run into a dead end as well.
In order to get your limits increased that way they'll try to verify your identity by asking you questions pulled from public databases. Since the name you used is made up they wont find anything which means that they'll either tell you they cant increase your limit - or outright suspend your account (low probability but does happen sometimes).

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

I've said it before and I'll say it again because it really really puts things into perspective regarding this question.

When you get deeper and more involved in stealth you will most likely have many restless nights without any backups. Many people have gotten their paypal limited with 3K plus, what a nightmare? If your trying to make a living off eBay using our stealth methods, its a must to have more than 1 account.

I tried 1 account and had it limited a while back, and almost lost it...

Now I have 25 accounts :clap:

None of them I expect to ever get a suspension/limitation but if they do I got backups...

The more you use eBay you will understand the nessccity to have more accounts.
I would say its mandortory but its not. Its up to you at the end of the day. :amen:

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

Make more accounts, maybe you are lucky enough to get that 5000/50000 limits

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

There is another bonus for opening multiple accounts. Lets say that your main account gets banned, and you have to start over. That means starting from square 1, you'll have 0 feedback and 10/1000 limits.

If you have more then 1 account, then its likely that a few will get limit increases in the next couple of months. If your main account gets banned, you won't need to start at 10/1000 limits, you should already have a few accounts with 5, 10, 50x that limit.

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

So many points and all of them good and true.
Bottom line - don't bother calling ebay. Instead concentrate your efforts on creating multiple accounts. Harder at first but the benefits are completely worth it.

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

lol ok sounds good,I guess I will have to make more accounts I am actually thinking to do it as a part time,I am a homemaker and with kids and responsibilities It hard to manage all stealth,but thats the only way I guess,so I will go that route:) that means buying more vanillas n bank accounts lol. oh and what do u guys do for ips, I read about teethring and all

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

There are several threads that discuss the topic of IP address and since youre in the US you have plenty of options.
Do your research - these forums have all the info you need to succeed.

ok thankyou, appreciate your help guys

Re: How to lift the 10/1000 limit
 

Yep you can do it, might not be easy but will be well worth it! And always best to spread risk instead of having just one account.

I tether off an iphone....to me, it's so easy, I can't imagine anything easier...
