Except these strategies they've put in place weren't caused by millions of users

China new seller 5 per month. Hong Kong 10 per month

Are you positive they double the limit with 2 accounts? Someone in a recent post (I think it was this thread, not sure) said it doesn't work like that. For example, if you're already at the 10 items limit on one account, if you add another ebay acct, that account will be maxed out as well. I'm not saying your wrong, just saying someone was saying otherwise.

I'm gonna test it myself and see what happens.

The only question I have: is this gonna be a seasonal thing like last year, or is ebay sticking with this policy year round? I pray it's not the latter.

Nobody knows, really. At least not until January comes.

If it helps anything, I found a seller that first started selling in August 2010, then got a selling limit of 10 items per month in October 2010, but 3 months after his first sale was able to list over 600 items since. So it does seem like it's lifted quite a bit after 3 months of active selling.

I agree with you!



Donot sell too much.. in a short time!

I noticed eBay updated their help pages when they introduced the selling limits. This part here explains a lot:

Automatically removed, awesome.

I will open more accts only when the main/first one has decent feedback.

Imjustme, you da' man!

Dude you just made my Christmas!

Thank you for sharing these valuable pieces of information.

So after three months your home free!

He didn't post the golden ticket to success here guys.... this does not mean that ebay will grant you the ability to sell more. they could still shut you down if they choose to

You have to maintain good feedback and customer service and just stay under the radar for three months and then they'll remove the limit and that comes straight from ebay.

Ebay has always had the power to shut down your account, but it's our job to stay under the radar and keep the account for as long as possible.

The good thing is that at least we can sell as much as we want after the 90 days. We also have to take account of the IRS problem with paypal but that can be solved with more accounts.

So these limits were only placed due to Christmas.

Imjustme, thank you again for pointing out the change on ebay's site.

I think the 3 months limit period will stay after Christmas too. And in a way, it's a good thing. It'll help you start building up the account slowly. Still after 3 months you shouldn't sell too much. Maybe 20-30 items, then wait for more FB.

Maybe not an increase ASAP, but after like around 20 feedback...you should be good. Increased usually to 100, but it seems they can actually give your CUSTO limits.

Thanks to ebay's new limits I've got about 40 accounts lined up so far, if it wasn't for the new limits I probably would have stayed around 5-10 like many others. So now instead of ebay having to worry about millions of accounts now they're gonna have to start worrying about billions of accounts, what a smart strategy lol...

Same here. I used to sell on the same around 30 accounts for nearly 2 years, although I have almost 100 backup accounts. In the last almost 3 months, I made over 40 more accounts and each of them have already over 10 feedback from selling.

Im about to go make 10 now, lol.

Thank god for the holidays...i making atleast 3 accounts a day..Bought myself a netbook to make more user accounts.

Ahhh, it's the 1st of the month so you guys know what that means, time to list another 10 items @ $50 a pc on 40 accts. lol. I'm liking these limits just can't wait till the 90 days is up, just imagine 40 established seller accts. with out the new limits, THANK YOU EBAY!!!!!!!

It's a rolling 30 days....

Not when I just checked it wasn't, under "all selling activity" it shows my Jan. limits have been renewed and just sold 10 items a week ago, haven't checked the other 39 yet but w/ 40+ accts. who cares anyway lol
