They said even though I was improving, because I remained below standard they were cutting me. Did they not do the math? I'm pretty sure I was set up to fail lol! I didn't realize I should have been asking for item number increase limits as well as dollar amount. 99-199 transactions needed to balance out one low dsr ... dafuq?! | Yep, this is common with ebay. Set you up to not be able to succeed. For some reason they 'think' they are OK to do this. Quote:
Anyhow, I have an account in my moms name (totally ok'd with her) and I've only been able to post 1 item in my high risk category per month ... roughly. This month I know it was one for sure.
I made this account before I knew about stealth and after I went below standard on my main account and they lowered my limits. So they are already linked by IP, phone number and return address (different registration and ship from address though). Anyhow, it had a 300/25,000 limit to begin with. Is this because of how I set up her Paypal account as a business account and put high expectations on there? A couple days later they moved it to 300/15,000.
| Business accounts can get higher limits. Using relatives' info is never recommended, even with their approval. Your Mom is liable for taxes since trading is in her name Account may go down later so be aware of that....linked does not work. Quote:
My 90 days on that account should be up around the 20th of this month. Should I expect to be able to start filling out those limits in this category assuming I don't get suspended/restricted? Would it do it automatically or do I need to call and pretend to be my mom (luckily haven't specified gender) after 90 days to have them lift category limit? This account has not had a card added to it yet.
| Always, always preferable to allow accounts to mature by themselves. Avoid making more grief at all costs. Quote:
Also, I finished my first stealth account a few days ago and listed my first item. Yeah I'm impatient lol I'm up to my neck in inventory right now. Woke up the next morning to a suspension. I know it's not my IP stuff or mismatch names or anything.
| It is a standard practise to put a suspension on new accounts. Look for MC999 on the forum. Quote:
After Paypal did their intial double deposit and retrieval to bank account and after I verified amounts .... they said they were sending another 10 cent deposit which they would retrieve. Is this standard?
| Yes. That happens these days. Quote: Regardless, my account was in the negative from the first deposits because accountnow chargers the $5 fee thing which I hadn't put any money in there yet. This account also does not have a card attached to it yet. It was also my standard high risk item. It was also probably very similar to all my other listings. I can't really change the titles that much. Does capitalization fool the system? I suppose it's easier to change the description but they are just so perfectly simple and professional it's hard to think of it.
| two points not in your favor. accountnow has issues with paypal. Should have picked differently. 2nd point, I wish capitalization fooled the bots. That is a big no, it does not LOL. Quote:
Should I just return email the suspension notice or should I get all my stuff together for the account and call them?
Sorry if you don't like ramble! Bolded = important?*****
thanks for any help!
*****BOLD type is to try to expand on my concerns, not demanding at ALL*****
| I kinda do not want to rain on your parade. But you are all over the place right at this moment.
It does not work rushing at stealth.
I will leave you to think over my reply. Post again so we can discuss. |
