You say you've read almost every post about limit increases, but you seem to have selective memory and read what you WANTED to read.

Because MOST IF NOT ALL the threads about that say DO NOT CALL!

I love this post. Never call them I kak myself when I use to ring them. They just get you tied in knots. I lost an account once by ringing them. Since then never again. PATIENCE. Made me giggle though.

Sure didn't sound like a joke to me.

[yaBeh8ater]

i have had the majority of my new accounts start with 5/500. usually i get to list another five within days of selling the first five.

I am not sure why OP feels like he is entitled to anything here? Everything I received is from helping others and then myself. I am grateful for every informative and helpful post.

Sunday is a good day to rest and make new accounts

Isn't every day a good day to rest and make new accounts?

I have another account with 500/$25,000 so no hurt on this end but MOST threads I saw said they "mostly" ask what you will be selling and I had that all lined out. So LIGHTEN UP EVERYONE, it was mostly a joke.

A joke? Are you sure?

Sounds like you trying to just save a little face after coming across like an ignorant gob****e.

Just remember when you kill the account and damage your friend's credit rating, you were told by many, it was a bad idea.

If that was a joke then you must be miles Davis.

Patience is the key with stealth accounts. Don't ever call eBay for something as minuscule as a limit raise. The limit raises WILL come. I never can understand why people are so nutty over limits. You have the ability to make as many stealth accounts as you want. Why not just make more accounts if you want to sell more stuff?

[Kajunrook]

Because right now stealth accounts are getting 0/0 and 5/500 and when you make $2-$5 a sale profit you need more than that so limit increase is NEEDED. 10 stealth accounts at 5 times $25 profit a month is $125. One account at 100/5000 is $500 profit with not the hassle of keeping IPs separate, etc.

Keeping IP addresses separate really is not a hassle. It takes 10 seconds....

Replace "soup" with "Limit increase"

They gave me 5/500 so I waited two months and since I did not get an increase I called in for an increase. I was ILL PREPARED for the questions. He has lived in his house for 8 years, drives a blue pickup truck and his kids names are A****, Adam, and M****, his wife's name is Ruby. I know where he works as he has worked for me for 13 years. So here is the rub.

They said no problema and asked me what I planned on selling. Answer: extra hobby stuff I have collected for 20 years. Then the bombshells started coming.

1. When did you own a gold mirage?
2. Did you attend the following schools and then listed 5 in central florida
3. Which of these addresses did you live at in Brandon Florida?
4. What professional licenses do you have of the following and listed 5.
5. WHat year did you live in bumf^ck mississippie
6 And on and on and on.
7. Then they listed 5 addresses in the town I live in and asked which one I lived in.

My Answers
1. Gosh I do not know what year I sold my mirage (I remember he had one)
2. I never attended school in Central florida
3. Dont have any idea where Brandon is and neve lived there?
4. The only license I have is a drivers license and food safety license as I am in food business.
5. Never lived in that city in Mississippi (I Know for 15 years he hasnt lived in Miss)
6. Dont know
7. Well some of those addresses sound familair but my daughter has lived in like 8-10 apartments and I had to get all of those leases in my name, but dont remember any of those specifically.

NOT ONCE did any of the threads I read prepare me for this.

SO LONG STORY SHORT I can now list 9 THAT IS RIGHT NINE. items a month now and maybe next month can get an increase.
WTF< WTF

I also asked would I get an automatic increase and they said if I dont I can call back in after 45 days. Dont want to go through with all those unknown questions again.

Yeah, blame the forum.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that you should never ever call in to ebay for a stealth account unless it is a Hail Mary and the account os probably lost anyway. Let's see.....

OH YEAH.......I READ THAT ALMOST EVERY DAY AT SOME POINT OR OTHER WHEN I SCAN THE FORUM.

So don't blame the forum.

(Also the Guide says not to use relative's or friend's info)

I am not surprised to see such a rude post from you. While I try to be patient and kind with everybody in the forum, you don't deserve it.

Let's go over your story. You commit identity fraud and blame us. Then when we call you out on it, you lie and say it was a joke. Finally when you are caught lying again you tell us to get a life.

Stop blaming others on your mistakes. Either grow up or move on to another forum.
