Ok here are the details.
I had to log into google voice and verify my real number in order to get a relay number that worked.
I then called ebay on my account that is 45 days old. Has several bis made, and 3 items purchased, received, and +fdbk left for.
Lots of seller browsing history to "learn" how to sell.
Listed an item, an old banner from my garage.
I received mc999 almost immediately.
I called in with google voice app iphone. She asked how she could help. I told them I was new, I had been buying and I wanted to try and sell something so I listed a banner from the garage. I said I spent the last few days pull all the clothes from my kids closets that were too small and still were new with tags to sell but when I logged in to try and list a few my first item had been taken down and I got a email that said to call you...so I am not sure. She transfered me to trust and safety. I told them the same newbie act stupid story. She said from time to time we have new sellers verify their info and tell us a bit about their selling plans.
She asked what other items I had to sell. I said kids clothes, I said I make tutus and hair bows, I said books, and other things around here that we know have value but we just don't need anymore.
She asked how I ship. I said I don't know, I have not sold anything yet but I read that I could print a label from ebay for USPS so I thought that would be a good way to do it.
She asked what my phone number was.
She placed me on hold, came back and said my limits were now 25 items and $1250. She said this is the standard for new sellers and they reevaluate every 20th of the month. If they see good selling history they will be raised.
That was that.
I wonder, I want to sell jewlery that my friend designs. One another stealth account can/should I lean more towards I want to try and do a little side business selling my friend's costume jewelry, or should I always keep it at play dumb, sell stuff around the house for this mc999 process?
