I am not sure how is it possible for me to create that many accounts at least in my country. To create a new bank account it needs my real name & identification number card (which has my real address). Without them the bank officer would reject my application. No new bank account = no new credit card. Since eBay has my real identification suspended & recorded how is it possible for me to create that many bank accounts without using my real name & address? How it works in your country? Is there any way to solve this? Thanks!

10 items is only for brand new accounts. Once you receive feedback for 5-6 items of those 10 sold, you can list 10-15 more. As you receive feedback, you can list more. It's not a fixed 10 per month limit, but a growing limit.[/QUOTE]


This statment is not correct,

I have an account more than 90 days old, all DSR above 4.5 , 28 positive feedback and 21 DSRs .. still limited to 10 items per 30 days.

New Ebay Selling Limits May Change Ebay Forever

1) Make MORE accounts
2) Certain "black list" countries have this added on solely because of TRACK RECORDS
3) Be patient with it, and MAKE MORE ACCOUNTS

Holymoly ,

Thanks but no Thanks ..

At a certain point you have to decide if it is worth the time spent.
At this point I do not think investing my time in eBay is a wise investment.
You need to take into consideration that creating accounts in "certain blacklisted countries" is not as easy as it sounds. It takes time and energy as well as money.
And I am running low on all of the above!

New Ebay Selling Limits May Change Ebay Forever

Thailand is not a blacklisted country. I have set-up new accounts in Thailand and have been able to list 50 quantity on a 1 month old account, just this last week, without receiving the selling limit.

Imjustme, when you are talking about selling on multiple accounts, do you use different paypal, user accounts, names, etc? Or do you use the same paypal and information on each different account? I got a limit of 200/$10,000. per month this morning, so wondering what my next step is.... I sell about 20-30 items a day, off about 60 listings running on 1 day auctions each, plus second chance offers on any I can send to, so this limit will be met fast. Any suggestions?

Yes, the accounts are totally separate. Different eBay, different PayPal, etc. If you get a specific limit, like 200 items or $10,000 per month, then it's most likely DSR related. eBay sets limits like those on accounts that receive low DSR's or too many 1's and 2's in DSR.

Also, I noticed that the 10 items per month limit is category specific. While I can list 10 items maximum in Clothing, I can also list another 10 items in Computers (so at least 20), before hitting the limit. And when trying to list in Antiques, I can list another 100+ items, so there is no limit in Antiques.

Got cha..... My other question is does the limits start from the day you get the email?

Imjustme,

Please PM me, let me know what VCC I can use for creating Thai accounts,
I am interested. Thanks

kasikorn vcc still not work now for open new account in thailand ...

Hello Imjustme,

I'm one of your biggest fans. I have new in this community but have following your advice regarding ebay limit. Thanks for it =)

I have one question, could you please advice how did you make a new Thailand account or other country like Singapore while you are in North Korea (KP)?

Are your IP doesn't show the location of yours? Thank you for your advice.

I have no problem selliong 200 or more items. My starting bid may be a bit lower than the average starting bid of some, but would that make a difference? I can begin low and sell high to very high and above average.

Good Luck!

You have to get feedback from some of them SOMETIMES, it all depends what eBay is feeling at the moment it seems...

I don't know that for sure. I think it's between the 1st and 31st of the month.

I am not in North Korea. It's just a joke ;) I open the accounts from the same countries. Japanese accounts from Japan. Thai accounts from Thailand. Singapore accounts from Singapore.

How is that possible? Are you connected to some server which will then divert your IP to other countries? which could GHOST/CHANGED your IPs?

How did you managed to create so many bank accounts which required genuine info?

I regularly travel around Asia, not a problem for me. As for bank accounts, not a problem either. I just walk into the bank and open them. No bank will tell you that you can't have 50 bank accounts with them, as long as you pay the fees.

Imjustme,

please send me a PM .. thanks

imjustme may I ask how you successfully did it? As for me the bank officer needs my genuine info such as full name & home address. Since eBay & PayPal has recorded my real name & address so it wont work anymore although I create another new 50 bank accounts(containing same name & address). The address I could still ⊗⊗⊗⊗ it but for real name no way...they will reject my application straight! No new bank accounts = no new credit cards = no new paypal = SAD! :faint:

Since you travel regularly around Asia and I believe you will need to login to check your every individual eBay accounts created everywhere...wouldn't eBay suspect your IP address and raises red flag?:mod: Thanks!

tried put something under "Antiques > Antiquities" but still limited to 10

Confirm what the user says imjustme. I'm from Latin America.
I am a new user and my account is totally legal.
The first month I post 8 pieces (I sell clothing.) Then I wanted to post and left a warning:
All new users of ebay for 30 days are limited. After these 30 days is re-enabled account
to continue selling.

Yesterday I enable the account and relist 2 pieces.

I do not know if this month may list more than 10 pieces.

Greetings.

Certain VERO items have limits!
 

My recommendated if you don't want to invest your time on Ebay then you won't make the money that you want here. To make money you have to invest your time and energy in the beginning to see profit.

To keep it between you and me I would suggest you Pm me. I will get back to you thanks

BLK Dude ... who r u talking to?

can u do 2nd chance offers when u hit the limit? if so thats away u could sell a few more items maybe.

FYI if u take a listin off, im pretty sure it counts it as 1.

Guys, I think the selling limits are also based a bit on luck. I have a 6 weeks old account, with 0 feedback, where I can list almost 100 items, and a 1 year old account with 40 feedback where I can list 10 items. And the item is exactly the same.

usa account here.... i tried to increase the selling limits online, it gave me a multiple choice question page... i answered NA on all questions... And said unable to verify, and asked if i wanted to call and discuss my selling goals.. Right now my limit on this new account is $500 or 10 items whichever comes first.So i guess, just sell your most expensive items first? $500 is nothing, the more i think about it.I guess i am going to be opening more banks and buying more phones ><

With just 20 mins on each phone.... That's a pain in the ass, i mean. Everyone knows when you call ebay you are on for a minnium of 20 mins

Made a stealth uk account today, banner at the top said I had a limit of 50 items!!

Interesting.

(That was when listing in a high risk cat as well).

its random it seems. Nothing eBay or paypal ever does follows any logic or algorithm. imjustme is absolutely correct in suggesting that we all have multiple accounts. Now my only problem is how do i have 20 seperate IP addresses that i can keep one of for each account? are you guys paying for exclusive proxies or something?

get a powerhouse of a PC and run vmware to keep your accounts seperated. But as far as IP address solutions i am trying to figure it out.

IP addresses alone don't link you, there a factor but alone you will be ok, take my word for it, I have a few accounts under 1 set of IPs from AOL, some get suspended, the others survive.

I use one PC (Windows) and just use different windows user accounts for each ebay account.

yes that is correct it is not ip addresses alone. i am aware of the other factors as well, but from what i understand. the best way to do it is to make sure that you dont cross ip addresses on accounts especially if the accounts are selling similar or the same products.

when you switch ip addresses, on one isp there is a good chance that one day you will end up with the same ip address (happens all the time with my craigslist marketing). i know about the cookies, and flash cookies, etc. yes i also use user accounts but i am considering a virtual machine set up using vmware (it would be much more convenient and essentially the same thing). However i am currently only running one eBay account, after hearing of this limit (i have not experienced it yet) i have to step up to 20 accounts to achieve the goals i want. But ip separation is essential to keeping the accounts from being linked.

do you guys just monitor what ip address you use and keep a log or are some of you running exclusive proxies? i suppose the cheaest way is to just keep a log of ip addresses used, but that can be time consuming if your running 20 accounts. not that it's not worth it (of course it is) just wondering if there is a more efficient way of doing it (time is money as they say)..

I was selling 2 for 1 and they only allowed me to sell five

I keep a log of all ips even if use a computer at the library I get the IP and log it. Got a little comp book and write it down along with the date and the account name

but seriously... 10 items a month... WTF is that?

Well this sucks i just started a listing on a 2007 account with some feedback as a buyer (less than 10 feedbacks) so i created a listing 5 minutes later i get hit with the id verify limitation, so i call i fix that issue i re-list the auction and i get the 10 items per month or $500 dollars which ever comes first.

So the item i am selling will sell for at least $700 bucks. Now what i have to wait one full month to sell again? thats crazy!!

I think sooner or later eBay will have to start increasing the limits. Or get rid of them completely. That's just my opinion, other people may not agree with me. But eBay must be suspending hundreds or thousands of existing sellers every day, and new sellers are only allowed to list 10 items per month for the first 3 months (30 items in 3 months). The existing established sellers will be suspended at a faster rate than new sellers will be able to grow into existing sellers ..and sooner or later, eBay will suffer from a decreasing number of sellers.

Yes .. in the past they have introduced tough standards, then loosened up later on, they will likely do the same with this. They may have to, they must be losing loads of cash!

As always, others here might disagree with this theory, but it could also be due to the holiday season. Note that the changes went into effect almost at the same time as eBay put up their Christmas design. It could be coincidence, but the selling limits could be a way for eBay to try and minimize the amount of buyers that get ripped off by bad (sell&run) sellers. And keeping sellers from "flooding" the listings (note the new duplicate listings policy).

It's just a guess, I could be wrong.

Regarding rip offs by bad (sell&run) sellers, probably more than half of these are caused by ebay themselves. Honest sellers have their funds siezed by paypal, or the listings removed by eBay, then eBay sends out emails to buyers telling them they have been ripped off. This leaves the buyers feel as though they were cheated by a bad seller, when it might just be a case of eBay creating a problem out of nothing.

what about a brand new real business account? How much should i list in the first 2 weeks?

Here in HK we are running into the same problems trying to sell clothing. At first we got the 10 limit, then we talked to them on the phone and they raised the limit to about $2000 (about 50 active for us) for active + complete listings. We have about 50 active listings now and they are not really selling fast (1-3 a week) so we need to try something else.

We want to create more accounts as we have so many products that need to get listed. The only problem is for eBay HK accounts, the usually at some point ask you to send in your ID and address proof for verification. Anyone else have that same problem? I don't know if it's just a problem for HK accounts. I don't know how we can create so many accounts if they are going to ask for ID verification. Creating more bank accounts and more Paypal accounts is not a problem. :dance:

Any suggestions?
