Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

what are the tricks chaps?

all my new accounts have the 25 item limit.

are there any tricks to get higher on new accounts? 100 would be fine to be honest spread over a few accounts, but 25 over a few is just not enough.
i do not have the time to make tens of accounts.

are there any tricks on the address, name? or even making the pp first then ebay? is there a good method to this madness?

how many accounts do you chaps run at once?

please shed some light, cheers all

There aren't really any 'tricks' I've come across.

Best thing to do to increase is to operate the account properly, postage quickly, describe items well etc to get good DSR's & sell to the limit each month.

Agree with imakes, there is no secret method to get high initial selling limits.

Only trick is to wait, and make sure you sell to your limits each month. If you need to sell more, create more stealths.

im used to selling 1000 items a month but due to problems on my main account i need stealth.

damn, this is gonna fook me up. stressss


may i ask, what part of the month do they reevaluate limits? as most accounts i can hit within days of month startin,

cheers

Varies.

I've had two limit increases on accounts that have been sold on for just 1 month.
Both accounts from 25/750 to 80/£2200. Not bad for 1 month's selling. The key is to have good DSRs and no buyer issues.

Limits are reset on the 1st of the month, things like TSR are reviewed on the 20th, but the limits themselves can be raised at almost any time, I have noticed its generally at the start of a new month though, at least for any of my new stealth accounts.

do you find that they send you an email to inform you of increase of limit? or it just happens...

cheers

In order to increase your allowance from 25 to 100 sell off about 15 items very cheap, with which you should receive at least 10 feedback. As soon as you receive 10 FB even if it is within 15 days of opening your account you will be able to increase your limit to 100.

Trick: Inform them that you sell low value items which will allow them to increase the number of items in your allowance. You can exceed the value of your allowance (sometimes) but never the number of items.

I have increased my selling limit from 25 to 250 after 30 days using this method. 10 FB, 100 FB, 250 FB are crucial benchmarks for increasing selling allowance.

Thank you for the response.

Do you phone eBay to increase the limits or are you saying these increases have been happening automatically with the sales and feedback left for you from buyers?

Additionally do these increases automatically happen on the 1st on the month?

I am increasingly looking forward to the 1st June to see if any of my accounts have increase sales limits.

10 FB within 15 days of new account, and you can increase sale limit to 100...are you sure?

cheers

Yes, I phoned eBay to increase the limits. If you get an advisor who doesn't reallly know what they are doing then you can convince them to increase it as much as possible. It does not always work though. It has worked on 3 occasions out of 7.

Sometimes they tell me that I need to wait until the beginning of the month and at other times they give me a monthly date on which I can request an increase in my allowance.

I increased my allowance to 100 by:
- selling 20 items in 15 days
- receiving 10 FB with DSRs
- sending items via 1st class instead of 2nd class as listed
- fully verifying my eBay and PP account with all limits lifted
- calling eBay and telling them that I am selling a product which can only be sold in 15 different colours and 4 types (60 in total)
- telling them that the value of each product is £2. This allowed them to increase the selling allowance quantity and bring down the value
- I left them with no alternative and I wasn't too pushy. I spoke to them asking for advice rather than demanding an increase in selling limits.

Hope this helps. Please let me know how you get on.

4 times of being unlucky meant that account got 'checked' for no reason.

Not the wisest stealth move.

:juggle:

There is only trick though that really goes under the ebays radar,and that to change the Category of the item to something not relevant to your item you sell.

This method it has only been test it when you relist the same item and ola... hope that helps :)

Sorry but I don't agree with posting an item in different category other than the intended category of the item, especially when trying to build an account to higher selling limits. The last thing you need is Drawing unwanted attention t the account!

Well,:doh: if you care that much then you can always wait for the first 30days to pass by you slow slowly,then off you go on your own time.:amen:

Trust me, I am 1 patient man, and guess what...I've had accounts go from 10/$1,000 to 50/$2,000 in less than 30 days!

If I need more accounts, I make them...If I want too I can make 20-30 accounts in 1 day! Phone Verified, CC Verified, AND if I wait 3 days I can have it VBA verified!

Stealth is about making sure you take the right steps in NOT getting caught. Proceed with caution.

So what does every1 sell then :P

I sell McVities, want some?

Body parts.

I get mine from ebay Dublin.

Sometimes stale though

:eek:

if i tell u , i'll have to kill u

I kill u if u txt talk 2

:mad:

If you verify your address with eBay and they send a pin number in the post you should get 100 and £3500

thats correct, i noticed with one account i asked for higher selling limited before verifying all the paypal info, and the the limit was 25.

the way to get 100 stright away regardless of the time you have been a member, is to do the following

Create the paypal account.

Verify all the personal info, lift bank limits, verify DD etc ect.

Make sure the Paypal is totaly verified on all steps.

then make sure you go into your new ebay and LINK the paypal to the ebay

then hit request higher selling limits.

it will then send the letter via the post and you will then be given 100 items.

Also note that if you create the paypal first and verify the bank account. you wont have to waste your time with having a credit/debit/VCC cards on ebay or paypal.

All my paypal accounts only have the bank account and no cards attched atall. and they are all fully verified.

However all the bank accounts added are not suitable for buying. i only use them for depositing my money. so if you need to buy something it has to be used from the paypal balance only if no card is attched.

how do you guys get a limit of 25 items,my limits always 10 items per month on a new account ?

i have done this method many times with 100% full verified PP but still the ebay is stuck on 25 items on all accounts.

I read this.

Just to see how it works i had an account that was thirty days old with one feedback. I called ebay and said give me a raise .

They asked some security questions which it was stealth and i had no idea of the real answers. They increased my limits from 10 1000 to 100 5000.
paypal has vcc and a bank but not confirmed yet.

Lets see what happens with it.

I normally never try and raise limits but i keep hearing people asking abut it so i tried.

Bear in mind the OP is from the UK.

Sadly there are differences with treatment between UK & USA.

Not replying/knowing replies to questions with UK may mean suspension.

:ranger:

Yes correct i am sure there is a difference from us to uk but i was basically just trying it and giving my experience

forgot to add that it must also be a business account, from the start, dont make a personal account then change to business account it must be business from the begining, or you will get 25.

also the kind of items i sell are arround 10-15 pounds each so when filling in the info in paypal to what the average sale value would be i chose the one that would reprisent that, im not sure if it makes a differance or not but if you fill the info in as an amount and total sales that doesnt reprisent what you need, you may not get given it.

Step 1. Open paypal BUSINESS ACCOUNT,
Step 2 Verify personal info, add landline number, add bank veryify bank fully with security deposits.

Step 3 Make sure EVERYTHING is fully verified in paypal, all limits lifted

Step 4 go to ebay register a business account make sure you add the same landline and all the same info as the paypal.

Step 5. confirm the phone number with ebay when registering, and link paypal.

there should be no need to ever add a VCC/DEBIT/CREDIT CARD to ebay or paypal unless you want to buy using outside funds.

Step 6. list a few items and click request higher selling limits.

FINISHED. for me the result is always sending a letter with the code and once entered into ebay i get 100/5000 everytime.


the mistakes i made when getting 25 items were not using business account.
i added a VCC when i did not need to.

and i didbt wait fully untill paypal deposits were fully verified before asking for more items. but with the accounts that i got 25 items on i never needed a letter to be sent i just needed to enter the paypal depostis instead.
3 months on and im still stuck at 25 items on that particulat account.

my 100/5000 accounts have been raised to 200 items after 3 months

This question has been as ed and anwsered a THOUISAND times on this forum,,,

There is NO MAGIC METHOD for Limit increases, every account is put on an "Automatic" Limit increase path,,EVERY Month (around the 20th here in the USA) The account gets Automatically evaluated by a "Bot", then based on your accounts "Trust Score" and the Monthly Evaluation results this determines your Limit which gets inreased around the 1st of the next month. If you have recieved a "Neutral or Negative" Feedback recently,,then ALL Bets are OFF, and there will be NO Limit increase in the forseable future for you.

Now if you want to get this done faster, then you need to call them,but you do take some risks in doing that. You will also have to call them if your account no longer recieves the automatic increases because you failed to pass the automated Bot check on the account.

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

If you hit your limits have great feedback you can have your selling limits raised even without verifying your home adress?

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

Rarely in the UK are letters sent out anymore.

Limits increases will come so long as you have high DSR, good feedback and sell to your limits.

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

Electoral roll is used to give the higher limits in the post :d

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

If you appear on the electoral role then it is not a stealth account...

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

Thanks for pointing out your brilliant observation.

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

This is a forum that deals with creating stealth accounts.

There is little point telling people that if they appear on the electoral roll they may get an increase because that is not possible with a stealth account. You pointing it out could lead to confusion, especially for members just starting out as it is contradictory to the stealth methods.

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

Not to mention identity theft due to appearing on electoral role...just a possibility

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

Yes, if your 'stealth' account details did appear on the electoral role then what your actually doing is using another person information. The UK courts do not look too kindly on that sort of thing.

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

Yeah your right, I thought it was clear the person before was confusing everyone with a crazy method to get the post method. When he is clearly using electoral roll details of other people identities... He obviously has access to the addresses if he could receive the letter though.

I think it's very hazy the advise we give to new comers on what address' to use.

If your going to make one today, what would you use? Bearing in mind your buyers can see if your a biz account...?

Re: Tricks to getting initial higher seller limits..
 

Rented mail boxes are a good thing to use, nothing hazy about that.

As I said EB and PP rarely send out letters these days, the only reason that you would want to have a mailbox is for return or the odd correspondence PP and EB send out.

BananaMan method may work for him/her, but I have had (as I am sure a lots of other members on forum have had) lots of personal accounts that have gone from the initial 10 limit, to the 25 limits with a verified PP and then had many increase since thereafter, often into the 100's and sometimes the 1000's after a number of month. BananaMan has just been unlucky to get stuck on 25 items per month. If BananaMan is selling to the max each month, has high DSR and good feedback then they will get a limit increase.
