The only way you can get to "know" them is to join their seminars which they hold few times a year. If you want to call them or have they to call you about selling limit, be ready to have your ID, billing statement ready. This is just in case they will ask you for it to verify who you are.

Wow I was getting close to that monthly with my real name accounts until I got blown up into space and told "I needed to go sell on Amazon" by eBay reps.

How do you stealth and have an account manager?

Sleepy: can you sell directly in other marketplace like UK or SPAIN wiht a Hong Kong account?

@john

sleepy has not been online since July 2012.

Maybe we should wake him up?

[john456]

LOL. Maybe he needs a kiss to wake up from his glass bed.

Can sell in other ebay sites. Still the limit is what you have in your account.
i.e. 5 at first, then 30, then 100, then more....

Hong Kong and China eBay account have far more limit than the ebay accounts in any other country. I have 4 limits in a year from them by the reason "Not performing very well", that account has 100% postive feedback and top-rated status. They decrease your selling limit without telling you in advance... Anyway, ppl here would prefer a stealth account from overseas

Thx for info. What kind of limit increase have you got over a year?

I got a 8-year old account under real info. Was with 1k items selling limit per month.

Suddenly it drops to 224, the other month 5xx, and now 1xx.

That's why I need to go Stealth.

But for new accounts it's nice. 5 first then 10 30.
Just call and lifted easily.

Do you have to speak chinese to call? Or can you call ebay in the us to raise limits on cn account?

[mcnol012]

Of course he call ebay.com because he use Stealth

[unclejohnny]

I was wondering this too especially as far stealth addresses?

[mayward]

Where can I get the VCC to verify EBAY HONGKONG/China?

I think you can not open account on ebay.com if you are in china

ok, let me shed a little light on eB.cn BS for everyone. this bunch of crooks operated separately from eB.com. i know about how they operated cuz i was in china selling on multiple gold/plat. power seller accounts (registered in Canada and US) and shipping via HK to north american (and eu) buyers back in 2007/2008 when they first started expansion of eB.cn

i sat in on more than one of their top seller meetings in posh chinese hotels in shenzhen back in the days (although i was not officially invited, i had many "friends" who were cuz they were chinese registered accounts). what happens is there are big manufacturer backed seller accounts registered in china, that wine and dine these eB.cn big powerseller support reps. they work in cahoots, and can bypass a lot of rules that applies to smaller accounts (such as poor CSR, high neg feedback, even some VeRO that can easily lead to suspension for regular starter sellers). even if that big seller gets listings removed on eB.com for whatever reason (and sometimes after multiple instances of such, resulting in suspended account) one phone call to their eB.cn handlers they can get the account back up. this leads me to believe that pulling listings and suspending accounts are done by US based eB.com team, but ultimately eB.cn team can bring it back to life after the fact, if you are a vip account.

however, they can only do that to chinese registered accounts on eB.cn. so that was the situation back then. im sure it is done in similar fashion now. thats why you see so many big chinese registered sellers dominating so many sectors on eB now, that it is very hard to compete. and some with very low CSR and many neg FB, you wonder how it is they are still selling at all. IMO such accounts should be limited to eB.cn, if they are allowed to operated on an uneven, unfair playing field. they should not be allowed on eB.com, if they dont have to follow the same rules.

i pulled out of the eB selling in china in 2009, cuz the manufacturer's own accounts were undercutting everyone and killing what pathetic little profit margin there was left. it just didnt make sense anymore.

china world domination coming soon. sad but true.

Those with the biggest guns make the rules ! (I guess thats why china is rushing into making airplane carriers)
