Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

I have read same topics here, and I was told DO NOT call EBAY.

But If I can access the address and ID /Bills available to use, still better not call EBAY?


Thanks

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Never a good idea to call eBay. Never ever.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

So even though the forum has said NOT to do it....you want to do it? It's your account, go for it.....but what will you do if you have problems?

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Come back and ask why it did not work?

:faint:

OP, you should avoid making troubles. Just keep on selling and earning increases.

Have you even read about the paypal troubles for UK? You have to avoid troubles.

:nono:

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Great.....sounds like you'll have no problem when they ask "what your former mother-in-laws address was?.......or which company financed your car in 2005?......of if you ever had a loan with Bank of America?................good luck!

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Actually, OP was using ebay UK.....

lot of fun there

:eek:

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

well i just want to why.

I found Ebay may post you a letter which i thought the main concern that DO NOT call Ebay. But if I can access the address?

From my experience, EBAY always asks you such questions: basic information of your accounts like ID, address , registered number etc which of course you clearly know and further questions such as your sale plan, products range, average price of each item etc


So still have no idea why DO NOT call Ebay?

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

It's a stupid idea to risk your account.

It is not definite you will EVEN get increases.

ebay sometimes reduces the limits.

You want to be stupid, do it.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

I say go for it, give Ebay a call.......let it all ride. Good Luck. But if Ebay starts asking database questions, hope u can have up the phone quick enough.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

I want to know why someone suggested DO NOT ring EBAY.

Still have no idea why got below reply from you :sleepy:

Let the account grow naturally with good activity

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

I m on da same tip i am going to call ebay on an account dat has 0 limit selling hooked up to my bank of America. ....on dat account i have to try or die trying cuz....i habe nothing to lose tried selling n it just stopped me.....but i have 2 other ones that has not been increased in the 3 months and 6-4 positive feedback sooo i will just keep nurturing these as i was told here on da forum n im not gonna cause problems. ....cuz its true..IF i need more to sell get more accounts N in da longRun ill be better off. ....

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

DO NOT CALL IN. Why would you chance the longevity of your account with an eBay rep who gets paid min wage, sits in an office all day and will inevitably have a quota of eBay accounts to shut down that look suspicious?

ANY businessman after knowing these facts would not even CONSIDER getting ringing up to get an increase after knowing. It is NOT a calculated risk, it is greed clouding your mind.

Stick with what you have, and as everyone says.. Spread the risk on OTHER accounts. Another account at the same selling limits as your current = double the amount you can sell and half the risk of your income being depleted because of some eBay rep IF you decide to call.

Simple fact is people want to ring and get increases because they want everything easy, and unfortunately eBay knows this so will crucify you for it.

Trust me, i learnt the hard way with my real acccount. If i had know issues that arise with calling in i would have NEVER risked all my real info :)

Good luck bud and have a great new year!

What's with the rap rubbish?

Can you not write English?

Dear Lord.

:mad:

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Seriously, we don't speak thuganese here.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Wouldn't risk calling. As stated many a time, if you want to sell more open more accounts.
Not only will that give you a higher limit but you will be decreasing your risk of being shutdown considerably.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

You in the US as your flag indicates?

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

I did it with a stealth account and got them raised no problem...Twice now on the same account. Keep in mind that I do not sell any illegal or hazardous products.. Could def be more of a trip for someone trying to sneak in a counterfeit ps3 listing or two into all the other normal products you have... Bottom line is to try and make a human look at your account as little as possible.

If you feel you are prepared and there wont be an issue, go ahead with it. Just be prepared to answer the usual questions.. Make sure you call in from your google voice/stealth number.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

I have had zero problems calling into eBay.

They always try to verify my information against the public database which ends up coming up empty. So they either ask for documents or just raise my limits automatically. It's never the same amount.

Sometimes 100/$5000. Sometimes 20/$1250. Sometimes 20/$2000.

Your mileage may very.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

I've had an account almost 2 years now, listing $4998 of the $5000 limit with $1000-2300 sales a month, and STILL no increase. So yeah, natural doesn't always work.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Yep...or i mean Yes (regular English) i m in da usa....i am in the usa.....i suppose rubbish means trash..i dont mean to give you all rap rubbish but i hope the thread starter understood. ..i m nowhere near greenbeans or joshooze echelon..i apologize that i broke this forum's rules..i was birthed in lakenheath Air force base in london but ya...I mean yeah it is easier texting this way....next time ill do da as da/the, dat/that n/and/in/& or ok as okay.....n yo yo yo i don't really speak thuganese<~~where does that come from i am sorry can you familiarize me with that land is it like china and Chinese? I am just tryna help n get help i am sorry that my lack of texting/typing ability exacerbates people's comprehension i will try harder next time.....point taken.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

True.

I met the same. So was asking if possible to call EBAY? I am going to risk one of my stealth account.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

I have called ebay to get a higher allowance on more than one account, just make sure you have all your details ready and the reasons for the higher allowance, oh and ring from a number that's not on the account or linked to others.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

So any accounts that shut down by EBAY due to the call?

Thanks for your experience

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Mayward from the way you type i just assume your not a native english speaker and if that is true dont call ebay it would be extremely risky

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

this all sounds crazy to me. if i'm reaching my limit i'm calling in. don't see what the issue could be. they ask your name and verify your address and just ask how much you want to increase. why would they punish you? anyone has been punished for calling in? just call and be confident. grow a pair ;)

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

If you guys are calling in please do report back your outcome if you get limited or have issues, looks like not enough have reported back to confirm to you guys why you don't call in. But to each their own

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

If you call for a limit increase you are at high risk to get limited, let me repeat if you call your at high risk. I do not understand what you need limit increases for? I personally do not have any paypal limit ever because i just crwate another account, i am truly missing something and you guys saying it has not been tested you must be drunk it is all over this forum to not call

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

The point is if you call in you are not just going to get asked a few simple questions as would have happened in the past, now in the UK, people who call in are being asked crazily intrusive questions straight from credit files and other forms of ID records, such as details of bank loans and credit agreements that the users have had years ago, and when things are getting that deep clearly this is'nt a course of action to be taken lightly, not something to be rushed into lightly because other misguided forum members on here who have not even created any new accounts recently or had any reasons to call in, are telling you that there is no real reason for not calling in!

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

When did this start? In the last 6 years I've never been asked these sorts of questions by UK ebay. They use something like what you describing on the U.S. platform.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Where have you been in the lead up to Christmas? When forum members have been posting about this and it has been mentioned more than once that 29/12/2014 would be the official start date for the new policies, people have been posting about being asked these very types of questions!

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

ive recently gotten into stealth. my idea was to get accounts that I can raise my limits in ebay when needed. I've been selling a lot on my original account. in december i had over 1000 sales. but it started to get a few negatives that brought me down to 99.7% feedback. so now that i have a few new stealth accounts, i was hoping to increase those limits when needed. and im sure i'll need to do it soon if sales start picking up quick. but now after reading that everyone is saying that i shouldn't call in, i'm starting to think that i'll have to just keep creating or purchasing new accounts and having them rotate. sounds like a pain since i would rather have just a few that keep increasing in feedback and not over a few years, but every day.

so is it not likely to have a stealth account that gets a limit increase in ebay for like 300-500 items a month? or more?

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

The whole purpose of stealth is to spread risk

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Listen: we already TOLD you that users have had good accounts limited becasue the sellers FAILED the questions.

adjective
adjective: stubborn
Having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

NO! You won't find an account that has limit increases frequently and even less to those high limits, those take years to get in a normal natural increase. And again the point in stealth is to spread risk NOT to have a couple of accounts with 1000 limit each, but some people want the easy and lazy way and then start crying when one of those go down and don't have the backups to continue.

Get 20 accounts and build them all up from scratch and you'll be happier and sleep better, just take a little more work.

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

Well done for grapsing that.

The I want now mentality can kill ebay accounts.


Mind, one less seller for me to compete with: maybe I should encourage the
silliness.

:pound:

Re: Stealth account, call EBAy to request higher selling allowance?
 

You seem to be talking about Paypal policy changes.

This thread is about the pros and cons of phoning up UK ebay to request higher selling limits. UK ebay have never asked credit reference related questions when calling up to request higher selling limits. This is something they do on the US site.

As for where I've been, I've been on this forum everyday, same as I have done for the last 6 years. In addition to that I have been working on various ideas in an attempt to resolve the current UK issues.
