that is not just how much but: how much + what + how fast
if you want to have a turnover of 10K per month it would take you 1-2 years of account development
if you mean 10K made in total on a recent account then you could use the following math - you start with $500 per month and increase by 20% every month
this is how you do not get mc011ed
separate topic is what you sell , anything above $50 is considered expensive , anything above $100-$200 is super expensive

Total nonsense,how can any venue pay its bills?
The last time I looked,gold sells very welll,there are some gold dealers who sell gold in 6 figures,no MP,wiretransfer only.
Major gold dealers all sell on Ebay,also some on Walmart.
Hint-these dealers have their own websites,

I upgraded a personal account to business, and at most have done $13k monthly (december) off a 6 month cycle. I don't think passing $15k is smart, so I've maintained mine around $7k-$10k per month. After a year of this monthly, maybe not personal but business I think it's safe to explore $15k+.
I try to always remind myself that its better to have a guaranteed lower amount from eBay than try to risk it, play games, and extend too much to quickly. It always ends the same for me. This is the first time since I started eBay back in 2013-2015 that I've taken a extreme serious approach to make sure I monitor all my service metrics, and keep sales limited to what I could do.

it is always better to have multiple accounts , for a recent account 10K are a lot even if it is not within a month but within 3 months

The cc and Ebay fees is just too much.plus USPS priority shipping plus insurance. and signature confirmation.
Some seller try to minimise fees by open a small shop on Ebay,she said it was $35/month with limited listing but the FVF is less.

If I create a business account, will the same rules apply?

10k in 3 months is quite the figure - amazing though

I took an aged account from 2018 that had history buying, and started selling Sept, by December I did $14k. I guess thinking back I shouldn't have, but now I know if I stay below $12,500 my account is smooth sailing since I already tested those waters.
We have different factors, because every item has a completely different risk level with eBay.
The 3 month mark is most critical, then 6 months, I think after this a well managed account getting random MC011 is pretty low.

reasonable people who had their asses kicked by ebay many times would start private and upgrade to business later
