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

hmmm... interesting. I really thought it was a rolling 30 days

I certainly understand the 40+ logic... probably why I didn't notice.

Once one goes, they all go...So nothing new heh

Lol, how the heck do you handle 40 accounts?

Easy, with only 10 items per month you can sell that in 1-2 days then move on to another one.

ehh i guess if ebay was my only source of income, i could see going crazy with it.

If you're selling foofoo and importing that much.. man i hope you cover your tracks well

I was thinking generally, logistically, all those accounts, user accounts, ip's. I'm sure you got it down to an art though!

I keep track of everything by the e-mail and use phone tethering, new ip each time you log in and I don't keep them all on user accounts, I use 1 user clear flash cookies etc.

Ah I see, well using mobile broadband modems like i'm using, are supposed to give you a new IP every time, but that's not my experience so far. I will also give tethering a go.

I also think with having loads of user accounts there is an increased chance of slipping up somehow.

Not much is gonna happen even if you did slip up, I've logged into other accounts with same ip before on accident and nothing happened even if something did, it's only 2 accounts that would get linked not 40.

I see, so you have 40 bank accounts?!

No I don't, I don't need 40 bank accts.

They don't all have Paypal accounts then?, or are some overseas accounts you withdraw to VCC?

They all have paypals, you don't need to just withraw the money, there's other things you can do like buy stuff.

Great, good idea, thanks.

J, You sell 10 items right away on a brand new account with 0 feedback with no issues and in 1-2 days?

True, you can also send money to other paypal accounts with bank accounts attached. I wouldn't make this a habit but 2-3 times in a month time isn't bad. I do it all the time.

Yep, I suppose if you had a load of accounts then then chance of being linked would be pretty low if you only made a couple of transfers a month to different accounts

I usually start with 1 then add more later.

Yea, if u have 40 accounts it is very easy to spread sales out.

Might help you with listings
 

I have experimented with listings on new accounts for the last 30 days guys and gals.
Paypal reps are liars and ebay reps are liars.
One paypal rep did tell me AFTER I BEAT HIM DOWN (with words) for 45 minutes that you can list all that you want BEFORE you hit the 10 items. I went ahead to list about 40 items ACTIVE while I had the 10 item limit like he told me.
Basically, you can list 100 items if you have the time that day but know for sure once 10 items end and are completed you will wait out the time to list again (hope that makes sense) (this was my experience)
as feedback rolls in the limit will be lifted higher. I was blocked from listing for 2 days but as feedback rolled in I was able to list 2 days later and wasnt stopped again for that initial listing limit. so it turned out not to be a factor after all.
stay on your toes guys. these rules are changing every day. ebay and paypal are obviously trying to keep all of us off balance. you have to think ahead and prepare with multiple accounts.
Paypal is suspended accounts at a very high rate right now for negative and neutral feedbacks and low dsr 1s and 2s. focus on customer service is my advice to everyone. ebays buyers suck and we all know it. I list less and less on ebay these days because of the hassles. other venues are better. I did about $1600 the week before xmas and withdrew $1300 from paypal before I was limited for 180 days. no reason given from the clowns at paypal yet.I got a negative for 99 cent item. got a neutral for a 99 cent item that I was selling just for easy feedback. that backfired buyers still complained. ebay is in the gutter.
NOTE:Problem is most buyers dont leave feedback anymore! EBAY tells buyers feedback is optional which DOES NOT help us get paid. im getting 5 feedback out of 10 sales. Mostly threats of negative feedback looms over your head from bad ebay buyers.

50% is lucky, its like %20 feedback rate for me, only my TRS gets more feedback than the other stealths

That's not entirely true. I have many accounts where I listed and after 10-11 listings it told me that I had reached the limit for this month. You can squeeze a few more through, possibly 13-14 if you prepare all listings and submit them all within the same 5-10 seconds, but after the eBay counter updates you're limited to 10.

i read the ebay info on this

from sept 2010 till today any new ebay sellers will have to be on a 3 month trial period
restrictions apply with 10 listings per month or $ 500

After 3 months of monitoring ebay will lift these restrictions.
Second option link your good selling account to your new one and restrictions lifted.

I am on the waiting list for 3 months lol

imjustme is correct, you can actually get it more than 13-14 when you're at 9... But, again on new new accounts if you do this within a week of opening it, prepare for verification and phone calls

Can someone clear something up for me with this? Is it 10 limit for ANYTHING?, for example if I listed 10 pencil sharpeners, I might not be able to list anymore after that?!!

yesssssssssssssssssssssss

Well I created a stealth in Novemeber and sold about 20 items no problems

Yep, even 10 sand grains for 1 cents each at 10 cents total would hit a monthly limit.

The annoying part is, easy feedback items are cheap. It sucks to blow your 10 spot on cheap items , i still haven't been able to convince myself to list 10 $13 items, i guess the solution is ... list 10 13$ items and then make a new ebay w/same info and list 10 more? I mean i guess if i could sell 20 @13$ for the 1st month and feedbacks it'd be worth it, i just hate having $40-50 items with hughe profits sitting.

if you can open 20 accounts easly that means yor are super hero

I just found 2 accounts from 2008 where I only sold 1 item each, also back in 2008, and none of them have a selling limit. :D Was able to list 30 items (non-VERO, of course) each last night and they're still going strong. I'll sell those 30 items, then let the accounts get feedback before listing more. Got to take it slow ...

Why can't I ever be lucky enough to "find" accounts from 2008? LOL: :D

I have about 80 accounts back from 2007, 2008 and 2009 that I never sold on. Now I regret that I didn't at least list 1 item back then, but can't change that now.

I just opened 1 today it's less than 30 days and doesn't have a selling limit but I can't sell it haha gotta keep it, if you keep opening accounts you might get lucky and find one, the're out there.

Are you confusing the liars? Since when is paypal suspending for low ds 1s & 2s
pr neutrals/negatives?:pout:

Where did you read this exactly? Can I get a link?

You don't need a link ebay tells you that after you open an account and list your first item.

I just had my 1st account have the selling limit lifted. It was about 4-5 days past the 90 days mark. I used to be able to list only 10 per month and now was able to list up to 40 without problems.
