IS Ebay giving out limit raises a lot more easier now???
 

I just received another limit raise a few minutes ago.
I think ebay is giving out limit raises a lot more in the last 2 months, I feel like every other day my accounts are getting limit raises.

Listen to this account that got a raise a few minutes ago. Ok I created this account 7 weeks ago , added a bank account to the Paypal no CC, the bank is a prepaid Mango Money debit card. I than created the ebay account listed my first item quick with no browsing history and got the email saying I need to call in and confirm my identity within 48 hours or the account will be suspended permanately. So I called in using a number generated with the text+ App and quickly got the account reinstated

I than listed one item on auction and sold it for $68. This was a week after the account opened so it sold 6 weeks ago but customer never left feedback . So I have a 7 week old account with a 0 feedback and one item sold

And today I get an email saying congradulations on a great job selling now you can list even more 5 items/$500 to 20 items/$2000.

Anyone else experiencing these more frequent and almost undeserving raises???

Yes I've experienced 3 raises, over 200/$12,000

EB gods are smiling down on us. Hopefully it will last a while

Maybe it's another tactic their using so that we push our limits and have to give an EIN or Worse SS# giving up our identity to shut us down

Lucky we in the UK do not have the dreaded SSN and I have been getting a number of increases as well.

If there are no issues with your account, ebay are raising limits more easily.

Hey Dmshark, how well are mango money with mismatch name.

My name and this is an example legal name Robert Smith and Stealth Name Bob Smith or Rob Smith , so it works fine in this case but again I don't know if you would even call that a mismatch but for this particular account I did the name that similar just to try something different and works great. There is also a high interest savings account that u get with the checking and your able to transfer money into the account and back out to the card if needed pretty neat and nice mobile app, you can have up to 3 accounts with them and also you can make card to card transfers

Nice I'll try a completely mismatch name and see how it go. Time to crank out more stealth account :snicker:

No, they are suckering many people into thinking they are being nice.

I said months ago they hired consultants to help fix their image.

I also said they are giving these crazy raises for a reason.

Many will not be smart enough to understand and run up sales like crazy and get the SSN request.

Still a good idea to spread sales and keep under the radar as this is a complete set up that many will fall for.

Winner - winner!!

Did not read down the entire thread but this is what my opinion is.

Thought occur to any of that just maybe ebay has realized the screwed the pooch with there heavy hand suspensions and saw that they were losing sellers day after day and as a ripple effect buyers also? Not exactly rocket science you also the holiday buying season is coming wich ebay like every other biz that sells or depends on selling nutures. Not everything is secrete enemy action you know.

@ sandy , yep this is definitely whats going on how could they send an email on an account less than 2 months old and 0 feedback and one sale saying congrats on your great selling now u can sell more . And all my other accounts got raises too but at least they have been worked on, but I keep my sales between 8 and the highest 12 items a month, the great thing I experience with these raises is that a week later Paypal releases all holds in funds

For what reason would they be so anxious to do this?

They are tempting people with stealth accounts to sell more and than once on the 200/20,000 pace they will hit is with the SS# and expose our identity, this could be a way to rid the marketplace of stealthers

I've been getting raises on my accounts, at first I was trying to find a pattern but honestly I think it's VERY random.

My newest raise was for a 1 month old account with 5 $1 purchases. I finished an auction last week and the buyer didn't even leave feedback yet, nor did I pay my fees.

$1k -> $5k (lol)

It's funny so many of my accounts are getting raise most I have been pushing limits every month etc... And than some like today with 0 feedback and 7 weeks old gets it. But I have one account that I really like it was one of my first accounts that the21 day Paypal hold was lifted and even in the. Beginning it wasnt on every transaction like the other accounts , now the account is almost 6 months old 100% and I really work at it and and even Paypal like I said lifted thier holds 3 months ago but this one account I'm stuck I. The 10/$1000 limit.

Now I don't mind that limit because this is the limit I like to keep at anyway but it's driving me crazy that the one I feel I put the most effort in I'd t getting that little pat on the back sayin good job by raising my limits

Ebay is just so unpredictable but luckily all the surprises have been good ones since operating stealth

Did you read the above?

They are trying to get people to hit those limits so they can ask for SSN.

Do not provide it over a period of time after the request your account is toast.

Ebay is so sneaky, what a company

Hit and miss with eBay and PayPal. I can't work it out, stopped trying to analyse my accounts to work it out. I just go slow. Some weeks I go past the limit and others I don't. It's like parenting! Crazy!

Yes they sure are.

When they do something nice or good for the sellers watch your back.

You cannot trust them for a minute.

Yes, they're sneaky, but I'm pretty sure they just realize they're cutting off their nose to spite their face with the limits, and their balance sheets are down, and they need more people selling more products. They don't give a rats ass about any of us, it's just to increase their bottom line, and if it helps us, good for us.

Its nothing to do with ebay tactics to expose stealthers.

They will have changed the parameters of the bot that issues these increases.

The increases are across the board, not just on the .com venue.

I had a limit increase on the third day of selling from 25 to 130 items. Account had 1 feedback.

I would imagine there has been a drop off in new registrations and this is their way to encourage more business.

Yea. That's the logical explanation but when it comes to ebay/Paypal I'm so paranoid because of all the illogical things they do like kicking off great sellers at 100% feedback paying thousands in fees a month,, on time, and they just drop the axe on great sellers everyday for stupid flaws in their security software that they stand behind with no logic whatsoever , just becareful in trusting them , they will tell u to do one thing and than when u turn around stab u in the back for doing the very thing they had told u to do. So proceed with caution with actions that seem goodwilled by ebay

Almost all of my accounts have gotten raises within the last month. one even to 100/5000 which i have not yet met the sellings limits to that yet.. Dont think Im going to try either..

For every seller outed, more people will take their place - eB/pp know this

I have 8 year old account 100% positive top rated, power seller 656 sales currently selling last 4 months 100 items a month and wait hopefully for a raise every month...it never happens?

If you only sold on it 4 months than its only a 4 month old selling account be patient raises will come

In eBays eyes its only 4 months old RE selling history. Just have to be patient. Create more stealth's in the mean time.

My accounts been stuck in the mud since it started. Now it's jumped up to a pretty high level. And believe me, I've done nothing to help it along. Bad phone numbers and using my real name and address to order stuff online and calling in to CS etc... . I do ship fast though.

I've read some articles and news stuff and honestly the more stuff that gets sold on their site means more money for them and their stock goes up so thats one good way of thinking about it guys :)

Age is based on selling time, not time of creation.

So you have a newish account just starting to sell to its limits.

With similar accounts of ours, after 6 months , we were rewarded.

This is where patience is rewarded.

Five up and many more coming through

:thumb:

It took about 4-5 months before I started getting increases than after that they all started raising and double raising , holds lifted, so patience is the key.

Also everyone's account is different and may do something a little different and ebay reacts differently

The majority of my accounts have nice ebay raises after 4 months , some after only 7 weeks , and there is one that I feel I'm working so hard on, has great feedback , I sell every month to the limits , but still no raise after 6 months

So there is some randomness too ebay I believe, that's another reason to make multiple accounts because of this randomness that ebay and Paypal give to accounts that could be favorable

yeah! Also if you call eBay and get a really nice customer service rep, and have a good talk with them some will easily raise up the limits for you! BUT make sure you get a nice person! some go above and beyond in helping people

Bad idea like you say IF YOU GET A GOOD PERSON and if you don't than what why would you put the account at risk even if there is a 1% chance of suspension .


If you want higher limits create accounts. But time and time again member after member including myself are here today cause we called ebay for raises and yea I got one and 4 days later suspended with 100% feedback

DON'T CALL EBAY

When I say last four months selling I mean selling in earnest. I have sold on it as long as I have had it just not as much.
But I will wait and hope don`t want to rock the boat.

Wise decision - make backup stealths and build as well that way

Best advice is just to really learn and understand how to create and operate link free. Unfortunately you most likely linked all your accounts and even if you do send in the documents there's still an 85% chance of Paypal getting all your documents and still shutting you down .

Once you flagged and limited your pretty much done and at your level of operating stealth at this point I'd just learn and understand and start making accounts slowly , take your time avoid mistakes and follow the guide and ask questions on this forum.

Don't worry you will learn stealth and become a pro. It definitely works , just take ur time and no shortcuts, you can't get away with much ebay sees all

You just cannot believe it account now stands at 800 sales TRS silver excellent DSR`s.... No selling raise...... Daughter has had an acccount 3months 130 sales 99.2 on feedback. Gets a raise to 300 items:confused::confused:

Re: IS Ebay giving out limit raises a lot more easier now???
 

Same still applies as above except now have over 800 positive feedback. Stealth account I set up in June has 25 positive sales. I look on tonight has limits raised to 250 £16500. No logic but I LIKE stealth accounts.
