eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Hi,
I've been lurking around the forums for quite a while now but never felt the need to post anything because of the wealth of information available on here.
But, I have a very frustrating problem...
So basically I currently run alot of eBay account and things are going pretty well. I was really excited when I woke up this morning because I was expecting to have increased limits on the majority of my accounts, but NOTHING!
one of the accounts is over 2 years old and the first sale was back in 2012. This was the first month I had sold to the limit (10 items) and was expecting a raise to at least 20 but I'm still at 10.
I've got some account which are less than 2 months old and have already reached 40 items without me even reaching the limits. But I was hoping to have reached at least 20 items on about 4/5 of my accounts but I logged in to find they've just been reset to 10.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank You, |

Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
2 months is still quite early in an account's life period. To get an increase so early can happen but it is not a given that it will.
Just keep selling to your max limits, do not call eBay and if you need to sell more setup more accounts |
Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Sadly there are accounts of mine that have kept selling to max and not received automatic increases in ages as well OP |

| I'm setting up more accounts but the problem is, I want to put up a listing on this account with variations but I can't because there are more than 10 variations...
A younger account of mine is outselling 5 of my other accounts and they're are all over a year old!
It's VERY frustrating! |

Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Btw, These are all Personal accounts, Is that a factor that matters? |

Bit ambiguous.

Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Not sure about UK, but for a while in the USA, I could get limit increases in five days, then at 30 days. The past month, only small increases when I have to start ending items to adjust for more room. That seems to be the only trigger lately. Happens at 2AM every time.
I am experimenting with 90 day old 90-9000 accounts selling two-three times past limit on auctions. Let you know how that works out tomorrow. |

| Good luck yankee - 2 of my us accounts havent had increases in a year or so in spite of selling to max limits |

Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Does upgrading to a business account make any sort of difference to limits?
And for future reference, is it better to open a business account?
I've always assumed Business accounts require more documentation etc... So all of mine are Personal. |

Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Not sure about UK. but for us it doesn't change anything.
and I have accounts that haven't gotten limit increased beyond 50items/mo

Don't feel like the lone ranger.......I have one 18 months old....never got a single raise.
Have you ever got a neg or neutral on this account?? |

18 Months?!?!?!?!? :faint:
I'm thinking of just buying high limit accounts from now on.
It just seems like a waste of a bank account when I can't really use the eBay account to it's full potential. |

They get nosy, very nosy.

but It's still not enough...
I have many variations of my items, more than 10 and because each account is new they hardly have any feedback but Oh Well,
I guess I'm just going to have to scale this up BIG time. ;) |

Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
I currently have five stealth accounts. The oldest has a 100/$5,000 limit, one has 20/$2,500 limit and the other three have 10/$1,000 limits. I have not received an increase on any of these accounts in the past year which is frustrating as I sell to the limits. Hopeful I'll see increases in 2015. |

| Yikes!
My only accounts that have not had a limit increase to at least 90-9000 is the 100-10000 accounts I buy and then of course the 10-1000 I have yet to get around to using.
I have only been using stealth accounts(I don't consider EIN business accounts stealth) for a few months. |

| Are,you,selling higher priced Branded items? I haven't had an increase this month yet but was getting a lot of increases SEPT - November , I would just use my limits up by listing BIN not even selling and I had jumps from 100/5000 accounts to 420/20k and 490/30k and they were just 2 months old |
| Dmshark25 | 12-05-2014 10:33 AM |
Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
And all the rest are at least 100/5000 |

Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
It's so hard for me to justify burning a bank account on those 10/1000 accounts that might never get a raise, can't make enough money on those accounts to justify the bank account used for them, that's the only reason I sometimes consider buying accounts instead |

| I will list on five 10-1000 accounts tomorrow and see if I get increases within five days as I usually do.
I had some last month that did not, but I had non paying bidders on those so my normal method and timeline did not work anyways. |
| trosky | 12-05-2014 06:53 PM |
Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
To withdraw your sales from those small accounts, but selling only $1000 or less a month is not worth it sometimes the use of a real bank account |
| trosky | 12-05-2014 06:55 PM |
Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
How do you handle withdrawing to bank accounts? I'm guessing a bunch of your bank accounts come from all your LLCs right? A few of them from each, another reason to have LLC I guess |

| You only add a bank when you know the account is going to be good. I don't normally need the money so after a month or two I will add an account if I can not spend it.
Also, I have other options that most people don't because of my very old ebay businesses.
Lets say I opened a new company today. I will open a checking accounts at three different banks the moment it is filled with the state. I open five business savings accounts per bank(they have rules and may not be for everyone). I always use at least one credit union, BofA/Chase/TD(some are having issues with mismatched names now, but I don't think on business accounts) and usually a small local bank when possible, but many don't allow mismatched anymore. SOMETIMES they can make an adjustment if you are popular with the bank and they have systems for such things.
Right there is 18 accounts. Takes 2-3 hours.
That being said, up until last week I have never withdrew from a stealth. Only a few have bank accounts attached. I just don't need to do it yet. After the first of the year I may withdraw. Not sure yet. |
| trosky | 12-05-2014 07:21 PM |
Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Awesome advice here!! Yeah using companies it's a great advantage in the bank accounts front, I've seen a few credit unions too where they are not strict on mismatched names so those are great too |

Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Use a prepaid debit card , there are so many out there and new ones that come out all the time, I don't even apply for them anymore , have so many, every month now I get 1 or 2 just delivered to my door.
Just make sure you look at the fees, some are outrageous and charge $16 a month and nickel and dime you to death for every transaction
Prepaid cards are good to verify new accounts , use the search in the forum to see which to use and what banks are banned
Prepaid cards I'll use almost like a VBA, JUST To verify the account, and very few if any withdrawals, and than once the account ages and is ready to make money I'll add a real bank
All my suppliers are in the U.S. I USUALLY pick up all my inventory and during winter months may get things mailed, but all my suppliers accept paypal, and they know me personally , so the name and address doesn't matter I'll send the funds and either pick up or I'll ask to ship, so a lot of accounts I'll cash out on inventory |
| trosky | 12-05-2014 10:41 PM |
Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Thanks for you insight too Dmshark, yeah prepaid cards are another way to deal with it. I also has suppliers that accept PayPal, so you think paying from PayPal on those new accounts is fine and won't be an issue? As long as it's OK with my suppliers getting payment from different name of course |
| trosky | 12-05-2014 11:01 PM |
Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
I thought those aren't reported in your credit report since they're really not a credit card, you are not borrowing anything from the bank, only using their services with your OWN deposited money? I might be wrong though |

| If it has a SS number is supplied for a prepaid CREDIT card it will be reported. Same with a passbook account. They can and usually are reported with no risk of a late payment. Not sure about prepaid debit card or what the exact difference is.
By-The-Way, how did you see the deleted post? |
| trosky | 12-05-2014 11:06 PM |
Re: eBay Limits Not Increasing!
Oh ok got it, the key is getting a prepaid DEBIT card instead of a Credit one. I didnt know you had deleted, I guessed I opened the page before it was deleted and took a while to reply |
