Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

I've seen a lot of a posts about calling ebay to raise limits. This is an alternative instead of calling.

Go to ebay help and contact and open a live chat with an ebay customer support. If you're ready to raise your limits and you've been selling a good amount of items getting positive feedback etc.. Then ask him/her "I'd like to increase my selling limits " they'll then tell you something about asking you a couple questions. This is for people who are uneasy and not confident on the phone, and after answering all the questions he should check with his supervisor or something. Amd BAM double limits. The questions are fairly easy e.g What do you hope for your business in the future? Just reply something like you want to open a physical shop or a website etc. Ezpz.

many people do not have the live chat option

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Oh, why not?

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

USA does not have the live chat available

I was just thinking like man Ive never seen the live chat option.

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

It existed at one point but they took it away.

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Live chat = the good old days of not having to call in. I'm sure they switched to verify peoples voices.

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

And how do they verify our voices?

lol

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Having calls recorded incase of issues if the voice male/female doesn't match the name on the account or things like that. Think! No need to list all the reasons here.

There is no live chat for USA eBay members. (Which, last I checked, US was a bigger market than all of Europe combined....)

Stop the drugs...you're becoming WAY to paranoid.

You think eBay employs someone to recognize your voice patterns? Do you know the cost of software that does that? And its not very accurate....eBay is an online marketplace, NOT law enforcement. Some of you people have really over-active imaginations...

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Yea....I think you need to re think. lol

Male/female name verses voice is irrelevant.

Do you really think ebay records all calls and saves them?

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

USA definitely has a live-chat feature, unless it recently disappeared.

Click the "sell" tab at the top, then you should have a live-chat on the top right that asks if you need help. If you click on contact us, you should also see a live chat button.

Let me re-phrase:

There is no live chat for selling account/limit changes.

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

I'm not sure if they can increase limits via chat, but if you have an account that does not have limits showing, they can sometimes confirm what the limits are on your account, without having to call in.

Makes it easy sometimes -- if the rep chatting is somewhat savvy

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Well when I call ebay sometimes i hear ebay may record calls and things like that. So yeah ebay does record calls sometimes so don't say they don't and if your ebay account name is jennifer and you call in and have a male voice then goodluck trying to get by, but if it was ebay chat then you woudn't have this issue since there is no voice. That's what I'm saying!

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Every customer service phone line on the planet records your calls. It's so the supervisor can monitor the representative. If you have someone cursing at your customers, you're going to want to know it. This is a common business practice.

Quit with the drugs....

And BTW, you're wrong about the name. Yankee has a females name, and he has said he has no issues.

Especially in 2015....when men are wanting to identify as women and vice-versa all the time....calling you out because your voice doesn't match a name is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Thats like asking a fat chick if she is pregnant... you just dont do it.

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Im a male and call in all the time on female accounts, it has never ever been a problem.

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

I bet you sound amazing on the phone........:p :FF:

Re: Instead of calling ebay this is what you can do
 

Alright, USA has no live chat feature, but UK does, so this post is for the UK peeps
