How to get selling limits raised on a new account.
 

I am currently running an account that sells fifa ultimate team coins. This is against ebay policy and I'm currently on my second copyright strike. I've hear from this forum that it is better to build up multiple selling account instead of relying on 1 account when selling items against ebay policy. My question is, is there a way to get the 5 item/$500 selling limit removed on new ebay accounts. Also, any general advice for building up newer acounts would be greatly appreciated.

Just sell to your limit a few times. That usually works for me.

My main acct has gone from 1000 items/month to 1900/month to 19000/125000. All I did was sell to my limits and keep DSR's up.

Or you could try calling eBay if you want a quicker route. I've never done this but there are some MAJOR advocates of this method on the forum.

If your selling FIFA coins you're best not phoning anyone about selling limits. Keep you head down and waiting for the inevitable account suspension to come.

My point is, if you continue to sell these items on eBay you're going to need a lot of accounts.

I dont know what it is about these 10/1000 accounts but they just do not get increases? Whats up with that? I max out my limit for the past 2-3 months and no increases still.

yea 5/500 account increase no problems

It is a Mystery on those 5/$500.....everyone should embrace those accounts.

Ive had account 10/100 limited for 8 month , didnt get any raise.
on the other side, ive had account, got from 10 to 50 to 120 in 4 month .
So its just how lucky you are

I think what hurts me is that buyers don't leave positive feedback. I have sold so many items and hardly get feedback. I'm sure the positive feedback would help me to get increases.

To be honest, I haven't noticed much difference between feedback and no feedback accounts. Even if I get 20% return feedbacks, it seems to be fine when it comes to limit increases.

Might be a UK thing, but I doubt that we're that special?

hmm ok, i'm not sure whats up with these 10/1000 accounts. I cant seem to figure it out.

In my experience the reps never check what you are actually selling. So I would risk it and call in.

Re: How to get selling limits raised on a new account.
 

First thing I would do is make sure you ship something to the buyer with a tracking number on it. The intangible items being sold is problematic because no one gets to see the shipping details. So eBay sees this as a risk. This may prolong the inevitable.

I COMPLETELY agree.

Re: How to get selling limits raised on a new account.
 

On this account might as well.

Personally, once an account has been "marked" for repeated violations (that you continue to violate) I would ditch it and open a brand new one.

Easy way to get high starting limits is to use GV as a phone #, intentionally get 0/0 limits, and then call in to get them raised. Typically get 25 or 50 items per month to start.

Calling worked for me.

Re: How to get selling limits raised on a new account.
 

Ive always gotten a raise a month later with 5/500. Went from 2500 to 5000 a month later without calling.

If you have multiple accounts, you can risk clicking REQUEST HIGHER LIMITS. Is automatic and could go either way. I wouldnt call because they will check into your account. Im kinda surprised people on here would tell you to call in when your items are already violating policy.

Re: How to get selling limits raised on a new account.
 

Request Higher Limits does not show up everytime. It's not a guarantee.

I recommended OP ditch the account. It's already marked for death, it's just a matter of when.

Three years ago, I made about 45,000 a year selling DLC codes, same as OP, and I called in every time to get my limits raised. Never had any issues.
