Yes, Ebay put that policy into effect a couple of months ago. It applies to new accounts, and I'm not sure how long it takes before they will increase the limit. As a matter of fact, the limit is for 10 items or $500 a month, whichever comes first. So, if you sell 2 items for $250, that's all that you can list. I even tried to sell a computer and because it was more thatn $500,
they wouldn't let me list it. This is really hard for new sellers. It's monopolizing business for their current big sellers, because this policy doesn't affect them

I quit selling on EBAY 2 months ago. I wish that sellers would just boycott EBAY and sell elsewhere, like Bonanza, Webstore and iOffer. I know that sellers stay with EBAY because of the traffic, but I wasn't making enough money to survive; so, it didn't matter anyway. If the sellers leave, the buyers will eventually follow. You just have to switch and get the word out via Twitter, Facebook or whatever social media that you use.

Good luck!

Actually, it says on ebay that if you have more than 400 transaction within three months you can have four disputes so that's a total of twelve disputes in a year if you have 1600 transactions a year.

For sellers who do less than 400 transactions you can have three disputes every three months.

Ebay should really get their heads out of their @sses and start benefiting the people who really make them money... the freakin sellers!

Just a heads up. On accounts that are older, where you've sold only 1 item maybe 2 years ago and then started listing now again, while you don't get a 10 items per month selling limit, don't try and list more than 10 per month anyways for the first 3 months, or at least until you get some feedback. I had 2 accounts with no selling feedback go down yesterday after I had listed the 11th item, with a MC081 notice.

I am curious... Is it from the date the item sells? Or the date you received the first feedback? I sold an item on 10/31, received feedback on november 5th for first time as a seller. I also created the account october 5th.So it has to do with the sales, because this account still has 10 items limit, unless it will reset feb 1st?

Do disputes that don't get escalated and the seller immediately refunds. Do those get counted against you as well? I hope not.

I should mention something funny. On one of my Singapore accounts, which is only a little over 30 days old, I was able to list over 100 items in Antiques, while I was only able to list 10 items in Clothing. So this 10 items limit is category specific. You can list as much as you want in low-risk categories, such as Antiques, but you can't list more than 10 items per month in the first 90 days in high-risk categories.

I've had an account with 2 negatives and a 97% positive feedback increased to at least 200 items after 90 days. Go figure.

2 negatives and still 97%. How many selling transactions did you do in 90 days?

Yet another account, this one from 2009 but never bought or sold anything. Fired it up tonight and was able to list 20 items without a selling limit. Did eBay give up on this or am I just lucky?
