Will selling limits still grow organically even if I called up previously?

[Zak412134]

So I've had this account for over 6 months. 3 months ago my limit increased from 25 to 130. I called in to get my limits increased and I'm now at 130.

Now, will the limits continue to grow organically like they did before, or will I have to keep calling in to get an increase? I'd rather let it grow organically from here on, but because I called I'm not sure if that overrides the system.

Your limits will grow organically even if you have phoned in, i called in mine were 100/5000 now grown to 500/17500 organically - its a waiting game

[JamesNorth101]

Yes they will continue to grow eventually. Just make sure you sell to the max each month and you will see increases.

Letting it grow naturally is a good safer move.

The issue of calling is 1) you never know for 100% if there will be some actions taken and 2) (Important) if you have a bad agent, your account could suffer - few examples that come to mind

[sugarlaces]

agree, let it grow naturally, I had 1 where once phoning in they asked for supplier info and paperwork for address etc.
There and then they ut a restriction on the account until info was provided.

I wonder how much authority these people have. She said she'd increase it to 300, when I asked for a bit more she said OK 350.

I actually have a limit of 450, so that'll do until the robots at eBay increase my limits naturally.

[JamesNorth101]

They have the authority to close my account without a second though. That is enough for me to avoid ever calling them

[seany]

let it grow naturally to be safe and open a few more stealth accounts in meantime letting them grow naturally as well

[shc73]

I have 2 items with 5 variations of each which brings me to my limit of 10 for my first month.

Will my limits raise if I do not sell anything or even not reach my limit?

How can I get my limits up to raise my "selling power?"

[bigbill]

This is mentioned every single day on the forum....

Either wait... or create more stealth accounts....

Does anybody know approx what the bench marks are for the natural increases?

Is it a set marker, i.e 10 items £650 limit, to 100 items £3500 limit, then so on?

Don't know if it's the same on every account but my last account that got suspended went from 25 items per month then 120 then 390 after that.

Every account is different when it comes to increases.

My girlfriend had an account without any limits and I was selling lots of vero items on it that kept getting removed and I was relisting them all the time, in the end my girlfriends account got susspended and mine went with it coz they were linked.

If only i would of found this site earlier than 3 months ago I could have avoided it, but learnt from my mistakes and I'm back even stronger after reading the Stealth Book and getting advice from people on this forum I'm now running 10 accounts, which I never dreamed I would be able to do a few months ago,

Just waiting for them limit increases and I'm ready to start making some good money again, staying away from selling vero items this time!

Oh and the account was a 2010 account with 1 feedback, after selling on my girlfriends I remembered I still had it and after the first month I got an limit increase straight away to 120 then 30days later straight up to 390, checked my old email the other day coz I was wondering what dates I got them

It varies , if ur GF account was all real info than that factors in and makes the account more credible if all the info matches

Also the more patient u r with accounts the faster they grow , u Waited years to start selling.

Stealth accounts if the info has no public data base match than your credibility is soley from selling and in US mostly but you will see some take less time others take more but around that 90 day mark if you are selling great have all high DSRS THAN u will get nice raises


Also be patient this time of year ebay is not to interested in new sellers but more interested in suspending them in fear they will ruin someone's holidays

It's not the time to learn how to sell and also lots of accounts are made by scammers this time as well

I been getting little increases lately 25/2000 or 30/3000 , the best time is between march and jully so make a boat load in January

Yeh both mine and my girlfriends account was real info, although when I got suspended in 2010 that's when I made it but had no clue about stealth back then and give up, then decided to have another go back at it this year.

Got 10 accounts running now though I'm being very patient and not contacting eBay in any way for any increases, my accounts are from 25-70 days old now my oldest the 70day old one has 28 positive feedback and 100% feedback, limits are 25-£750, hoping for a first raise on it soon though, should be anytime now hopefully!
