Limits increase schedule?

[Lost in the Supermarket]

Hi,

this question ws asked over 2 years ago. Maybe there is new info, so here goes..........

I have noticed when I get selling limit increases they usually come around the 3rd-7th of the month. Has anybody else noticed this? If ebay is increasing in the first week of the month, dodes anyone know if they have already done it for June?

I have an aco**** in very good standing that has been stuck at 30 for months. Several other accounts have started and surpassed this particular one.

My sales in that account are no better or worse then the growing accounts.

I've had an account for 4 years, that I bought from here, that hasn't budged from $5000 a month. And there have been months where I've sold $2500 or more on it....

Ive had increases to limits come in at any time of the month.
I don't think they have a specific schedule for it.

In the UK, and has been the case for me personally, I have had limits always being increased around the 21st or so, once the monthly performance review was complete. So thats the date I have marked in my calendar, and I get the email with the good news around the same time, each time, as well. So I am always looking out for it when the date/time approaches

[ukjay]

hi yes i got one on the 3rd on my stealth 25 to 80

[Haidukken]

Totally random in my case. Like, totally random.

Did you get increase every month?

Not at all! - If on that date I dont get an increase, I assume I wont till the next month. But my accounts do consistently get rises, I would say 80% of all I have made to date have gotten a few rises over the course of their life-span.

Now this may be just the way I make my account or it may be that ebay judges increases (for my case) on my performance, which is something I always endeavour to keep outstanding.

My current limit is 20/1000 a month.
If they raise it would it be something like 30-50?

From my experience, I usually start off at 10/650 (UK GBP-£) - and it follows shortly by 100/3,500. Sometimes after listing first item for sale I got 100/3,500. So it is very random, and a nice surprise to see what you get when you open the email

Advice: wait it out, be patient. need to sell more? buy an account off the forum - these are made by specialists, thus more likely to get frequent increase in allowance.

The only thing that isn't random is that the bots every Friday do a check on our accounts to see if we're hitting our limits or not. Now after that who knows what happens. Obviously some other things factor because plenty people here hit their limits every month with no increase.

I was on the phone with eBay and actually asked about this. Supposedly, we can call to increase limits once a month and eBay will automatically review our accounts twice a month to see if we qualify for automatic increases. So I guess theres a possibility of increasing limits three times every month if you were to scale like that. Obviously not recommended but theoretically.

eBay is known for telling bad info so this is just what a eBay rep told me.

Here is the UK the limit is 30 days between increases, no ifs, no buts.

As for calling in, your playing with fire. As for calling in 3 times a month, your playing with ... (cant think of something worse than fire). You should never call in, bad idea.

[jakobrockz]

I was calling in for a account that was already in lots of trouble..

I'm saying it's possible to call once + two automatic increases per month

But yes, calling is not the best thing to do.

Wait, I thought you had the perfect method, that works so well, and that calling for a limit increase is a waste of time, and you get paid 60 dollars an hour, etc etc etc?

Actually....I have no clue what you are talking about.

But for the purpose of this conversation....

I have 123 accounts that are doing fine. I have one that is stuck on 30/3000 for nearly a year. It is that ONE account that I am experimenting with by putting hot selling items on it, max-ing out selling limits, shipping same-day...I just can't get the limits raised. I will not...never call about a limit raise.

The only way I would ever call ebay is as a Hail Mary for an account that is definitely lost and no other possibility of recovery.

So...yes, I DO have a system that has worked for plenty of accounts, just not this one. And yes...I DO make about $60 per hour when I work because I work hard, don't BS around, and only put in a few hours per day by choice.

If that does not address your point, try to get someone to help you get your message across next time.

I referenced the thread in question. Here it is again. Try clicking links next time.

123 accounts? LOL! You sound like a child banging on the keyboard. Could have at least come up with a non-consecutive number to make it sound real.

Then quit complaining how they don't give you increases. NO ONE else has given you a sure-fire solution. If you know it all, don't ask for advice.

Think OP meant accounts sold by forum member 123, as oppose to the numerical value of stealth accounts he possesses.

[GreenBean]

Another case of pot calling the kettle black.

Only GOA may give advice to ya'll.

Hope you never forget that

Perhaps, but that was not made clear in the post. If that's what he intended to say, the proper way to word it would be "I have accounts purchased from 123 that are doing fine."

Furthermore, if that IS indeed what he is claiming, it proves nothing. It's not difficult to shell out 300 dollars to buy an account. That's why people do it, because it requires no effort.

As I said in another thread. I learned from the best.

Every argument against my method has been some form of the following:

We are "experts" and you have no idea what you're talking about, you have only been a member of this forum for x months, I've been here for x amount of time. I know everything and you're stupid.

So I'm fighting fire with fire. Too hot? Get out of the kitchen.

I get limit increases any time of the month. Used to be after the 20th. Lately happens any time.

I doubt it's really random. It just seems that way to us because we don't know the criteria and algorithm they're using to increase limits.

I don't think there's an algorithm.

If there is, there are a lot of liars here discussing their limit increases and associated accounts.
