Selling limit placed on ebay account cant sell HELP

[rebekkah1436]

I am really upset. I hav ben selling on ebay for over 6 years. I recently took trip to bike week in fl and last week was getting ready to start selling again. I spent hours taking pics and getting listings ready only to see this

Thank you for choosing eBay.

I do not have a bank account nor can i get one as i am in chex systems from previous bad relationship- so i can not get verified on paypal. I tired vcc card only to buy one and find out i cant use in usa so i did not even try to use it. Then i was gonna take paypal off and use payflow but then i wouldnt be able to accept regular payypal only credit cards plus 30. month. I couldnt sign up anyway, they r closed now. THIS IS MY WAY OF MAKING A LIVING AND I CANT SELL ANYTHING Is there anything i can do to start selling right now!!!

I m having my boyfriend go to bank to get his acct and routing for me to use to get verified till i fix my bank problems but not ure if this will work since it is in his name and not mine plu will take several days. Does ebay only take paypal as method of payment if so this is retarded. Also if i use another way i might lose many paypal customers.

I am getting so sick of ebay seems like they take advantage raising fees that u only see if u read all of fee sheet, then they changed feedback to where sellers have no rights. After paying paypal and ebay they take so much of profit. I wish there were other ways i knew to sell my products without the hassle of ebay. I am so ready to fold up but ebay has made me a lot of money in past but my goodnes. Any help would be great. Thanks Rebekkah

Rebekkah,

First of all, relax. You've found the right place, here, with this forum.
Many, many of us have been in the same place that you are....and even worse.

The problem is, you are letting eBay get you upset. I know it doesn't make sense what eBay has done to you, but you need to realize eBay has changed. They no longer operate like they used to. They no longer "make sense"....so you need to quit trying to make sense of them.

In time eBay will come around to all their mistakes. But, in the mean time, we need to be smart about how to play in their sand box....and it's not really that hard. All you need is several eBay accounts. if you had more than one account right now, you wouldn't be so upset....you'd simply start using another.

So, read up here. Learn up here. Set up 5 or 6 accounts, and let the mature past the 90 days. Then sell to your hearts content, and don't get bent when eBay is an idiot again...simply laugh it off, and use another account.

Seriously...it's the only way for now. There's tons of us doing it...and it's not that bad. I've learned to say goodbye to my accounts that have hundreds in good feedback....big deal, all that matters is that you can sell.

1. Is your Pa yp al account verified? If so, link it to eb ay and you should be ok.

If not, one method that you are using with the bf and his bank account will work depending on bank - most bank accepts deposits in other names...

BUT - and I say BUT - remember that the money is going to HIS account - if any problems happen between the both of you, there is going to be problem with money.

There are ways of getting bank accounts even with bad history. Other folx from the U.S. will chime in.

Be patient and work things through - IN NO WAY IS YOUR ACCOUNT DEAD YET SO DO NOT STRESS, LOSE CONTROL - could be just a minor blip...all the best.

ya like stated above ebay makes no sense anymore.. ppl got suspended on here for alll types of reasons, check out the introduction threads..
as me for ex. i got suspended for selling too much too soon which is retarted.. any way back to you.. there are a few threads on here that shows how you could get bank accnts with ur situation..
however.. you shouldn't worry about that accnt too much, dont let ebay control you, learn how to control ebay.. you have to play their game
first thing i'd highly recommend is purchasing the Stealth Book on here... GREAT info, you will also learn alot... read it like your "bible" become one with the book

ebay is limitless with stealth accounts you could have 100 accounts if you like..
second, i'd recommend you grab yourself some coffee and read the forum
third.. read some more and more and more and den right when you think your done read some more

ppl on here are here to HELP trust me every1 in here has felt the way you are, but if theres one thing i learned from here is that you cant let ebay control you

HOWEVER, if you're still trying to save that account, go head and try, But with a capital B... i'd recommend start trying to go stealth with it..
