Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

I know that when your eBay account is new, the selling limits is low. Are all eBay account created equal, i.e., do they all have the same limit at the beginning? Or some account has higher limit than others because the user did something right at the beginning?

Is it possible to ask eBay to raise the limit when your account is less than 90 days old? As far as I know, the people who sell accounts here are able to build accounts with high limits while they are still less than 90 days old. I wonder what the trick is? I am not trying to steal someone else's secret, I just want to bring my sales up to speed. 90 days is infinity to me.

By the way, I am in the United States, if that makes any difference.

People here have reported they've had accounts that started with 5/500 limits that received multiple limit increases within the first couple of months when they sold to capacity and did everything by the book (i.e. uploaded tracking, shipping within 24 hours, etc etc).
So yes those limits can increase within the first 90 days and you don't even need to bother calling ebay - who will look you up in the public databases (and fail to find anything since its a stealth account) when you request a limit increase.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Thank you for your advise. I see that you are selling eBay accounts so you must have a lot of experience. I am kind of split between buying an account here or building one by myself. I don't mind paying a couple hundred bucks for it, it's nothing compare to the money I would make with them. But the reason I am hesitating is because I want to have a legitimate account. I don't need to run many stealth accounts. I just need one good account to run my business (the first account of mine was run for 15 years before I made mistakes and is now restricted).

If I buy an account from you, will I be able to do the followings:

1. Change shipping address in eBay account so that I can accept return from buyer (I have opened a new mailbox to avoid linking with restricted account), also change the phone number to mine (again, it's a new number)

2. Convert Paypal account to business with my business and contact name, and change the bank account. I have registered a new business name and I can get new bank account. Or may be I just simply register a new Paypal account with my info and link it to the eBay account?

If I am able to do those things without raising , I will be happy to pay a couple hundred bucks to buy a new account. I know that it is easy to change eBay name and address, just not sure if it's will trigger any alert from eBay and will cause a limit on the account. I am an experienced eBay seller with 15 years of history. I just need one good account to restart, and I need high limits. What is your advise?

Yes, really.

Are you still delusional, despite over a dozen established members voicing support and verifying that calling eBay works fine?

If so, I feel sorry for you. :peace:

...yawn.

I already knew it was possible well before you even knew about the forum, so I am not sure how you proved me wrong.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Maybe somethings work better for UK accounts to US accounts and visa versa.

UK accounts, if run properly, are definitely better left to mature 'naturally'. So easy to get multiple limit raises inside 8-12 weeks there is really no need to have to contact anybody directly, EVER.:spy:

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

First off, the OP is in the USA, not the UK. So even if that WERE true (which there's no evidence to support it is), it would be irrelevant to the current thread.

I've seen FAR more posts complaining that it's been X amount of time and they have X amount of "perfect" feedback with "perfect" metrics than I have of people who said they called and were shut-down/denied and increase after a call.

If you're successful getting increases without calling, keep doing what you're doing, by all means. But don't lie to new members and tell them that the only "good", "reliable", "sustainable", "smart", or whatever other term to get increases and build solid, long-lasting stealth accounts is to "wait for eBay to do it on their own" because it isn't.

Even Jeff Weico has publicly stated he has had 0 issues calling eBay. If you're having problems, it's you, not eBay. Don't be a social retard or act shifty and you'll be fine.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Yes I am aware OP is from US, HOWEVER, It became relevant since you became a dick in this thread and called a UK user out in post #10.

Unless you have extensive experience of creating and maintaining accounts in the UK, you are not in the position to pass comment.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

You obviously haven't seen the history of our previous interactions.

I suggest you take your own advice: Since you don't know the "history" between Callidus and myself, you have no place voicing your opinion about what I say to him.

Aside from this, there are PLENTY of posts where users FROM THE UK have stated it's actually far EASIER to get increases in the UK due to the ability to use instant messenger "chat" for these requests. Use the search function if you have any doubts.

Now then....

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Seriously, are we about to have one of those 765 page conversations again?
Why is it that every time somebody mentions calling, you need to start linking your thread, don't you just have anything better to do? :)

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

I'm starting to like GOA. Idk if GOA is m or f. But if GOA is this relentless on the forum probably kills on ebay & amazon. GOA is helping by encouraging and NOT discouraging fellow forums members. GOA Has a ebay/amazon cut throat way of doing it but hey that's who we are dealing with. Also GOA is not promoting vero or counterfeit items that's how GOA is being treated like.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

"We" aren't having a conversation. I'm giving advice, and you're hurling insults.

Here's my suggestion: Instead of worrying about my opinions and what I do with my time, why don't you try contributing something helpful of your own? That's a MUCH better use of YOUR time.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

I think you need to re-read, and comprehend what I have written before replying.......my reply was nowt to do with Callidus. :lol: Think you have just won the aspkin 'can't see the wood for the trees' title 2015.



Obviously, it is not easier or safer to interact with an ebay rep than just leave an account alone that will get big raises anyway. That is just illogical for UK users. If you have to do something, rather than just leave it, then it is not easier, by definition. I don't care how many forum posts there are saying UK users have got limit raises by contacting ebay......obviously it is possible to do this, but that is not the point. It increases a risk element, when there is no need to, and it is bad advice to tell inexperienced stealthers otherwise. Undoubtedly the safest way for UK users to operate is not rush the accounts, wait for limits to organically increase, if need be open more stealths, within a few small few months whilst learning how to operate stealths they will then, if operated well, be able to list thousands of items each months for tens of thousands of pounds across 6 or so accounts.




Actually with regard the person you directed this at, in this thread the first thing you done was call him delusional. So me thinks it is you hurling the insults. :noidea:

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Your claims are unfounded. As stated earlier. MANY posts from users in the UK, US, Canada, etc complaining they haven't seen an increase at all in the first 3 months.


Interesting....you just called me out for not paying attention to context, and yet here you are doing the same thing. If you read the CONTEXT of my post, you'd know I was comparing US to UK eBay, not contacting them vs doing nothing. Who is it that can't see the forest through the trees exactly?

Driving your car is a risk. Using "auction" instead of "Buy it Now" is a risk. Getting married is a risk. Starting a business, eBay or otherwise, is a risk. Would you have all members of this forum avoid risk? Newsflash: LIFE IS RISK! But, as with most things in life, where there's risk, there's reward.

You ignore the fact that many members don't wish to run 5-10 ten item per month accounts. They would rather operate ONE good account than 10 petty ones. Don't assume everyone is like you.

Again, many members don't want the headache and expense of maintaining, operating, and managing that many accounts, not to mention keeping track of them all, and the cost of doing so. Not everyone is making 75k a year on eBay. For some, this is a part time, 15,000 dollar a year venture. These people don't want to bother with 6 different accounts.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

LOL you are such an amusing little troll. :lol:

I stand by my posts, I suggest you buy a dictionary so you can understand what the words you use actually mean. ;)

Anybody operating just one stealth account, isn't true stealth. Anyone who has been on the forum a few short months and states so, is misguided at best.

Keep giving people bad advice, keep trolling people who offer the sound advice that has worked year upon year upon year and still works now, go on son...fill ya boots :lol:

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Hey hey hey, no need to get all hot and bothered- Last thing I want to do here is insult somebody. I have said it before and I can easily say it again- Any good advice, is good advice. People just need to know all aspects of advice before they act upon it.

I said in one of the other threads that I don't think its a BAD advice to call in/use chat, but on the same token I have said on numerous occasions that hunless you are after HUGE limits, the "calling in VS list to limits" bares very little difference, in my personal experience.

I think the reason why people here advocate "slow and steady" is because most users have have been in business for a while and they are speaking from their own experience. In majority of the cases the accounts stay active for longer, when a user follows certain "rules" or "tips"(Call it what you want)

If you want to talk about UK vs US accounts then there are even more fine details and aspects of business that one needs to keep in mind- That's another thread on its own.

Advice is great, but it seems that every time somebody else is giving advice that is not in line with your advice, you get all defensive.

I'll leave you to it, I don't want this thread to turn into another one of those like we've seen in the past.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Keep running your mouth, little boy. You can't back up your argument, so you use petty little insults. It's cute, but it won't fly. Everyone can see through it. Bye!

:focus:

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

I've said it before and I'll say it again: There's more than one way to skin a cat. In other words, what is ideal for you, isn't ideal for someone else. Calling isn't about "huge" limits, it's about getting reasonable increases right away, instead of waiting potentially months for an eventual increase to 20 items per month. Not everyone has the time to waste selling penny items so they can get their limits up to 50 or 100 items per month. You do. Great! Keep doing it! Not criticizing those who choose a different way, only keeping others informed that there is more than one working method.



Defensive? How would you respond? Should I roll over and play dead like a good dog? :lol:

Sorry, but I'm right, I've proven it, and many others have also voiced that calling eBay works for them as well. Until you have substantial, verifiable evidence to the contrary, you're just blowing hot air and wasting my and everyone elses valuable time.

It's clear that neither of you have anything to offer or add to this topic. You recite the same dogma that has been disproven time and time again. Perhaps your propensity to troll, insult, and deceive others is the reason you haven't been invited to the Executive Lounge, despite being a member here for several years. ;)

Why are you trying SO HARD to troll?

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Alright... I'm pretty sure I can put this thread BACK into perspective.

There are two ways to look at getting the increases.

You call in or wait to get them naturally. Now when you have say an account thats 10/1000 limits, you can call in and get them raised but keep in mind you need to factor ALL the months it will take you to get even respectable limits.

Ebay doubles your limits every 30 days if your hitting your limits, or close to them. So if you take an account thats 10/1000 it would take 5 months to get these limits 320/32000 IF your hitting BOTH limits.

Now if you wait to get an natural increase chances are you will most likely EXCEED that number in the first 3 months. Your not guaranteed to, but if your aging your account correctly than chances are you will. There are many threads that almost that give step by step instructions how to do this.

You can call in, but it really only plays a factor when your account already has good limits to start with. I say that because on ALL my accounts I rare;y get natural increases after calling in to get my limits raised. Not saying you won't get them still, I just rarely do.

In regards to UK vs USA there is a HUGE difference.

Paypal for instance started asking for ID's ALOT more on accounts after the start of this year. Now in respects to eBay its silly to think they don't face different obstacles. I'm not even going into depth on why, its a pointless conversation to get into if you don't already know that.

:shhh:

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

I agree with ghost of amazon, why not call in? If i open an account that has a 5 item selling limit, ill take the risk and call. Its only a 5 limit account, worst case, you lose it, on to the next one.
Seems the hardest ones advocating not to call in, are the ones selling accounts....but I digress.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Did you not read my post?

:doh:

Call in. Enjoy your 10/1000 :lol:

Its STUPID to disagree with someone who can make an account with 1000/25000 and your getting 5/500. But to each is own.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

Not sure where you're heading with this, Solefoodbk.

Your point isn't very clear to me. Could you elaborate a bit?

Here's my stance:

If you know how to make an account that has 100, 500, or 1000 items per month to start, duh, you'd never call in. You would never want or need to.

MOST (99%) of members here DON'T have that knowledge, including, for the record, everyone posting here, with the exception of Callidus.

ALSO, from the NUMEROUS posts account sellers have made in MANY threads, you can piece together enough information to realize that their limits have nothing to do with calling vs waiting for limit increases. Their limits are TYPICALLY given the day they turn the account into a seller account. They have a very specific method they use to create these accounts, and this method results in a higher than average limits on MOST accounts they create using it. It is, of course, not 100% fool-proof, but it is FAR superior to the "average" members creation method.

Of course, it bears mentioning: These limits are caused by the CREATION of the account! If you don't create your account properly, you're not going to see 1000 limits per month within 90 days no matter what you sell. It's irrelevant whether or not you call!

TL;DR: Your argument is invalid because Callidus uses a method unavailable to most of us, do to knowledge we do not have, and he isn't going to share it with anyone anytime soon (it's his income, can't blame him).

We both know that calling in generally results in an increase at least 75% of your limits, assuming you have good feedback and DSR's, and aren't selling risky and/or shady items. We both discussed this and shared the same opinion a few weeks ago in the thread located in my signature.

I must be misunderstanding you somewhere here.

lol.

I hope it doesn't turn into one of "those" threads again....

BTW how do you post images to the forum? Such a noob question, I know.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

For one I do know how to make them I just don't get them EVERY account made. I have no need for a ton of stealth accounts as mine never go down, I just have backups in case.

For two, I don't disagree with calling in.

My point is if you have an account that is 5/500, I think it is stupid to. My whole point of the post is that if you wait and get them naturally you get much greater limits USUALLY in a much shorter time frame.

Most of my accounts start at 100/5000, so calling in works for me most of the time because I'm already set with good limits. I grow the accounts properly but if its a strong account I want to list more on it, especially if I have good feedback etc. I'm not one of the stealthers with 50+ accounts, I like to grown mine and build them, but not overdo them.

If you have 5/500 limits if you follow the correct practice you SHOULD get the increase within the first 60 days naturally. I don't know many people saying otherwise that know the correct procedure to follow. If you just list random items and hit somewhat close to your limits, then that's not how its done.

If you have an account with 5/500 it will take 4 months to get the listing quantity to 80, unless you have a dud account your almost guaranteed to get MUCH higher limits than 80 in the first 60 days. So if your impatient then yes call in, I just don't see the point with a account with such low limits, because the increase is STILL LOW.

I always get double the limits increase when I call in.

I don't disagree with calling in, never have but I don't agree with it being the ONLY answer to getting limits increased.

Re: Is it possible to lift selling limits for account under 90 days old?
 

My apologies for assuming. If you'd be willing, I'd much appreciate any tips you can provide via PM.

My personal experiences have been different, but I respect your opinion.

You can get a limit increase by calling in every 25 days. I also can get limits increased more than double on low limit accounts, depending on the rep. I was able to once get a rep to increase my 5 limit account to 50 by telling them my mother worked at a library and she brought home the books they were "retiring". Low-risk product, and a bunch of it. The rep loved it. The next month I had a 50 limit account to request higher limits on. If you think I didn't beat 80 items per month within 60 days, boy have I got a surprise for you!

I'm not sure if we're having an argument, because we're on the same side....we've discussed this before. :doh:

We had a several page thread discussing and sharing ideas on this very topic. This ground was already broken. You seem to be playing devils advocate here, and I'm not sure why. We both agree that there is more than one way to get increased limits, and that the "superior" method depends on the individuals situation. Why are we arguing? :suspicious:
