Ebay account without limits?
 

I created a new US eBay seller account and wanted to check what limits I would get stuck with. So I listed a very low risk generic item to see if eBay will show me the limits. However, even after listing the item, I cannot see the limits on the account in the "all selling" section. The account is a business account and attached business paypal account.

Does this happen often? I'm used to creating UK accounts and have never had this happen before. How do we check selling limits in such situations?

Limits may well only appear when you hit them

Happens in the US and the UK

That's a first for me. Never had this happen, ever, before. Limits always showed up as soon as the first item was listed.

Happens more often than youd think.
Just a glitch in their system.
When it happens to me I try listing an item immediately at over $1000 value. If the limits are 5/500 for the account ill get a message stating I exceeded my limit (before the listing goes live so it never actually happens) and I know what the limits are without seeing them. If the listing goes through than obviously theyre higher than usual limits and that's good enough for me.
