hi, they are hitting new accounts based on AGE with 10 items or $500 per month whichever comes first. now if accounts is say 6 months or older i have seen 20 items, 1,000 permonth etc this is tightening up for the holidays if you didnt open your accounts already ( change to sellers accounts) expect this . hope this helps. i have had this on a few of mine recently but one older i had much more freedon with higher limits

Im sure that now amount of new registered accounts will be increased at least x2...
Now every 2nd registered on ebay account will be stealth account...

If you go into eBay, you can click on the left hand side where it says "all selling". Once you do that, on the top portion of the screen it will show you all the information you need right out in the open.

Hope this helps.

When making multiple accounts can we link them to the same PayPal account?

HurricaneHuntr · #**182** 12-03-2010

And if 1 of your 10 from last month runs into the new month.. IT COUNTS FOR BOTH MONTHS ..... LOL?

Stupid...

I figured 10 was gonna stay for 1 month, but 2 months? I suspect 3 months as well? God gotta make more accounts just for the future

imjustme · #**183** 12-03-2010

I have an account where I sold 10 in the 1st month. I got 3 feedback from those sales and the 2nd month it let me sell 12, then got slapped with the limit again. My guess is that it increases slightly as you receive feedback. And after 3 months you're probably bumped to the 100 limit.

I have an ebay account which is more than one year old. I recently bought a few items got my feedback score to five and then I was slapped with the selling limit of $500 a month that with the 21 day hold from paypal is killing me.

On there FAQ page for selling limits they say you can lift the limit by confirming your identity. How do you go about doing that?

Is there any way to completely remove the limit?

museman · #**185** 12-06-2010

I wouldn't call them, patience pays. Tough it out for 90 days and make more accounts. After the limits get raised you might not need to use them all so you would have some in reserve for later. At least that's what I would do...

Unless you sell cheap items in bulk then it's going to be a big pain only being able to do 10 at a time...

jerry · #**186** 12-07-2010

So does anybody know how to completely remove the limit or have it bumped to around 20k a month?

So what feedback score do you need to completely remove the limit?

Is the limit here to stay or here until the end of Decemeber?

imjustme · #**187** 12-07-2010

Nobody knows. It was implemented for "new sellers" in October and it's supposedly 3 months (90 days) from the first item listed. So the earliest anyone will know is in January.

Does anyone know how to make PAYPAL return money they have been holding hostage for 3 months now? I'm talking about $1,600.00 that I can not touch .EBAY/PAYPAL froze my account and refused to return my hard earned profits untill the end of March,2011. I had A 100 % rating and they just ended the account and refuse to tell me why. Just bought EBAYSTEALTH and am looking forward to getting started again, but I am flat broke and it would be nice to have some of my own money back so I could get started. Please, if anyone has any thoughts , let me know. I'm talking giving no Christmas presents and hotdogs for dinner. HELP!!!!!!!

Being broke and not being able to sell can be the pits. And these new selling limits make things even worse. Right now I'm in conserve mode. Just trying to tough it out. I hate withdrawing from my savings to pay the bills. Right now, if I can make just enough for living expenses, I'll be happy. Never mind the new clothes or gadgets. I just hope after the 90 days I can start selling again. Ebay's new limits are contributing more to the decline of the economy.
Selling online is the main source of income for lots of unemployed people. And Ebay has taken away many peoples' lifeline by implementing these limits. Good luck my friend. You can try pasta as well. Quite economical and does not clog your arteries like the hot dogs.

Most ppl on this forum have gone thru the same dilemma and conquered the adversity. Don't fret, patience is a virtue

My friend opened two new accts in December and had no limits on how many items he could sell. I think the 10 item limit is dead.

Going to try in 5 mins, but pretty sure the limit applies for certain categories.

HowYaLivin · #**195** 12-11-2010

I will confirm also, as I sell in the same category he does.

mosguy · #**196** 12-11-2010

the limit is still there

I do this ALL the time because I am so paranoid about them tracking me and having more info. on me! Yikes

jerry · #**198** 12-18-2010

Do you think this selling limit will be increased or lifted in January?
