Monthly Limits got lifted today by themselves

[Thankful]

Took about 4 months of solid selling on this account, sold 100 items every month to hit my limit, for the 4 months.

So today e/b decided to give me 270 for selling limits for each month- this came as great news and a surprise.

No phone calls were involved for lifting these limits - and this is a just a normal e/b account not a business account.

In the 4 months, I had 250+ FB - had 3 cases all resolved - no negatives - 4 neutral rest positive - always shipped fast - responded back to all msgs no matter how stupid they were.

It just goes to show sometimes, you don't always have to call them, patience is a virtue.

[Callidus]

Niceone! Your right obviously patience is the virtue but I reckon if you hit those selling limits you possibly could go higher again very soon, slowly but steady !

Gratz!

[Callidus]

WOW, a miracle just happened!

I just refreshed my eBay and now I have 220 item per month / £3500 instead of 100 /£3500!

Awesome! That account is 3 months old :P

[Thankful]

You too? nice one man

Gingers do have souls afterall

I think it's today that their lifting limits interesting stuff going on here.

Remember to write down this date for reference.

I'm wonder what would happen if i turned into a business e/b account next month perhaps.... hmmm

[they_screwed_me_too]

payments holds got relaxed today on one account only holding 1 of every 3 ish now instead of every one :-)

will keep posted on other accounts

Been happening for a while now that 'good' accounts get limits raised towards the end of the month.

Just had one go from 200 to over 600

Congrats OP, that is a nice jump.

I have learned to make sure I sell right up to the limit every month, on accounts I do not they dont get any or much of a raise.

I hope I get some raises today.

[Thankful]

Yeah thats right - it's all about hitting your limits and it makes sense why would they increase your limits if you ain't hitting your current limits?

Give them a reason too! boooooom!

[yotano211]

Hey what do you know, I got one raised from 10 to 50. One of my early stealth accounts, 5 months old.

[rsot]

Very nice work all - wonder if limits have increased automatically on few of my ones too. Will test.

[yotano211]

I looked through all of my and only had that one lifted. Maybe next month toward the end of the month I might get more accounts lifted.

[sergfro]

They are lifting limits a week prior to the month ending? Nice, i'll check the rest of my accounts

[Ebayorbust]

Yes, I've had a few "nice" increases on my accounts that have got limits.

Thankfully most of my accounts were created a good while ago and have no limits whatsoever.

[Callidus]

Ebayorbust - Thats nice with no limits! How long has it taken YOU to get to that point, as obviously varies account by account.

[Ebayorbust]

The accounts with no limits are well over 2 years old. They have never had any limits (including 3 private accounts).

[TowelKing]

I guess the main factor influencing raises is how much you use from your limits - I used the limit to the max.

[newjerseymax]

and amount....

I started real slow on one account by selling cheap stuff...

Now it has a 50 item / $1000 limit..... :>

If e/b can't see that the account warrants a raise in limits then it won't happen.

I have about 5 good account opened before 2010 without any limits

Then i have abuyer account that is like 3 years old, with 1161 feedback, verified Paypal account.
I can only sell 6 per month.

But this buyers account is on my suspended address, name has been changed slighty and dob.
This account was to buy, ie packing supplies, things i need for my personal use.

I do not need this account for selling has i have stealth accounts.
But i always good results when i sell something, feedbacks helps

When does the new cycle start on eBay

[Thankful]

What new cycle you talking about?? do you mean when they start lifting limits again? I'd everyone 3 months when they start checking accounts for limits to be lifted - but obviously it may vary.

Yeah i too have a buying account with my name and address slightly changed - the reason the selling limits on it are low are because you have no selling history on it.

It's like a new account for selling if you know what i mean.

But I do agree feedback does help with selling compared to a low feedback account.

[eternity4u]

I meant, my limit is 6 per monthly.
When can list the next 6.
Is it 1st of each month

[Thankful]

Oh i understand that, mine is 10 on my buying account.

You looking to get it increased or something though?
