Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

That's good news because it was getting out of control

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

What about you list something after your got your 25 or 100 limit?
I called and limit raised to 25, 100 as you mentioned, but in 5 hours both account been shut down after list the first item, what about yours?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Calling In can be very risky but if the account is at 0/$0 then you really don't have much to lose and everything to gain....Always proceed with caution.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

is your paypal verified with a confirmed bank when you do so?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

yes, everything is verified and today I tried the new tracfone to set up another account.
again, it hits me as a 0/00, called ebay, the rep said it is routine they are doing now. so, wondering if any of you got the same situation as me?

0/00 limit even with a tracfone phone used?
Anyone else but me?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I've been using tracfones with 100% success rate until last night.

Now I'm 0/3 with tracfones in the last 12 hours.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Just open an account, no limits!! I list and item with 500 quantity, and works just fine, weird!

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

yeah i got one of those the other day too. odd for sure! baby it!

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

The limits will appear within 24 to 48 hours. They always do.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Back in the day you could get accounts that had no limits, and they actually stayed like that where you could technically list "unlimited items". But I havent seen those in over a year or so, nowadays when you get that you'll get limits eventually sometimes next day, sometimes in a few weeks

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

The selling limits table hasn't been setup properly but as mentioned above it will be don't you worry. They may even hit you with a restriction for listing that many even though the system let you.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I have an account that doesn't show its limits either. I've been doing some light to medium selling on it for the past 3 months and it still doesn't have any visible limits. I honestly don't know if it is truly "unlimited" because I didn't want to draw attention to the account by listing an item with an insanely large quantity or an insanely expensive item. But I do know that limits don't necessarily always appear on those accounts, at least not if you baby them and keep them away from suspicion.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Yeah I always check them by listing a test item. If the account allows a product price over $1000, then it's a unicorn. I've had many accounts not show limits yet still error out when pricing over $1000

So it does happen.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I called EB reps, they gave me raise, sometimes you need to call different agents to get a helpful one. the more concern I have is that after 4-5 hours, all these limit-lifted account got suspended after i list the first item, a used book or just simply some small stuff.
Saying these account have serious security problem and shut me down indefinitely.

Anyone else?
or any suggestion? am I linked or something? I build over 50 account over the years and there are half of them still thriving, if it is linked, why other accounts just fine?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Check your info?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Limits will kick in AFTER first sale is done

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

How has everyone else been doing lately with the 0/0 limits?

I created 2 accounts today and 1 yesterday and all good here 10/1000 on all 3

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I created my paypal about 7-5 days and also made a ebay Buyer account and linked to paypal (all same day)(tracfones,vba, 80% verified, Verizon hotspot ip) tried to create a sellers account tonight and 0-6 0/0 limits. Any help. Can't see a for sure way yet of getting limits

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Strange how some are getting 0/0 accounts and other are getting 5000/50,000...

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Could be due to slight differences e.g. IP, phone number used....

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Trying some more now so far about 2/5 ����

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

And the ones I did get are 5/500. What GIVES

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

One difference I have noticed is that the ones that got 0/0, whenever I start creating the seller, it ask for the code, and once it asks for the reimbursement method (paypal) I log in and accept therms, it'll give like a little glitch screen saying try again later.
I check the limits (no listing) and bam 0/0
The ones that did work there was No glitch screen. But I got 5/500
I don't care much about the 4348738463864/3487539375735973 limits, I'm just trying to make a working account at least

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Anybody think ebay caught up to tracfones maybe? If so what else is out there

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Have noticed a lot of 5/500 accounts myself lately.
And I doubt it has anything to do with the phone number...
For the record the 5000/50,000 I got was made with a google voice number.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

They have def stepped up their game on making the 10/1000's. I have not had an easy time making the low limit accounts recently. And as I have said in previous post, I do not feel the information given to EB (address, name, phone number) make a shred of difference to them. I have tried different things all across the board, especially with phones. To me, it is complete randomness on whether you get a 0/0 or limits.

I got a 500/25000, and it was with textfree

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I'm with you Bjammin. Been getting the 5/500 a lot, and a few high limit accounts sprinkled in as well. Does seem very random. Been trying everything and doing things completely at random and there does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to what eBay is doing.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

ebay is weirding me out. the heck are they up to right now

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

got a 5000 / 50,000 lmao WTH!

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

nice, any methods you used to make this account that are worth noting?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Got one myself.
Its completely random.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

all my tracfones account where 0/0 i had to call everytime and get them to 0/10.
this sucks because calling them is a pain...

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

The Problem:

This is my first time posting anything (after years of reading) but I too have suffered from the immediate 0/0 on Ebay many times. As you know calling in after that is just pure luck of any success. So while looking for an answer I stumbled on this thread and I came up with an idea. I noticed that whenever I accepted the terms and conditions from Paypal on my first sale and was being directed back to eBay to confirm the listing it would time out after a long "working" period. I would close the window and log back in to see my limits set at 0/0.
If I returned back to Ebay without any delay following the PayPal agreement I would have 10/1000 selling limits. I couldn't find any pattern to follow and started noticing that it was happening more often lately.

The Fix:

On my next account I tried something different. Instead of choosing PayPal to guarantee my selling fees I chose to add a credit card instead. I used the same credit card/avs/vcc that I used to set up the paypal account that's attached to the eBay account already (I always make a small purchase first).......so the billing address is already saved. Hit save, and voila! The item lists and I get a 10/1000.
I imagine the item will eventually be taken down and I'll have to call Ebay and answer the same 3 "New Customer" questions: Receipt? Shipping Carrier? Where is the item now?
I'm super cool with that because that's is a million times better than calling on a 0/0 out of the gate. We all know why.
I haven't had the chance to do this enough (I just tried it twice, worked both times) to say that I guarantee it will work 100% of the time. But I think you all would agree that it bypasses the part which appears to precede the eventual MC999 0/0. Please let me know your thoughts and success as I am quite curious myself.

Follow up:

Here are a few other things I do non-related to the idea presented above:

1. After I list my first item I stay in that account and browse a lot. I add stuff to my wish list, I follow sellers, I bid on an item, etc.... I do this for at least 15 minutes. I can't say that this definitively helps stop my item from being removed but it appears to have swayed in my favor a few time. If I'm in a hurry I skip this because it definitely does not work every time.

2. This may be old news but I use an app called "Buyanumba" to get my numbers. They are $1.99 each and last for a month. If you want it longer that you have to renew. Very important. Gone is gone. It works fine with PayPal and Ebay with automated calls. It will not receive text messages. If anyone know of a phone or app or anything that does please let me know. Tracfone won't either.

Finally I want to give a huge "Thank you" to Aspkin. Reading and applying the concepts in Ebay Stealth put me light years ahead of where I was. Probably saved my life too because I was going ****ing nuts before.
I purchased and read Amazon Ghost as well. I haven't implemented those ideas yet because of lack of time. It was however a great starting point in the education needed to post multiple ads on Craigslist. If anybody has experience with high-level posting on Craigslist please let me know.

All in all were pretty lucky because Ebay and PayPal are child's play compared to Amazon and Craigslist. Knock on wood

Good luck. Please let me know if you have any luck with this.
Peace.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

i created a new account.. and started to sell as ususal.... got 0/0... IT is the first time to experience..

Will try again later.


it is crazy

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Selling right away?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Yes. Always.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I've been getting 0/0 as soon as i registered seller account, even before listing anything

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Hey everyone been away busy with the whole holiday sales craziness. I see that everyone is still having trouble with making new accounts.

I haven't made new accounts in a LONG time probably 3 months or so. So I am going to try either later on today or sometime this week. Last time I tried the method I had finally "perfected" (not really just seemed to work for me) worked 9 out of 10 times. I will try again with the same method and do 10 accounts and see if I get the 0/0 limit or if it still works. I will let you guys know

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Ok so I made 5 seller accounts today.
I list an item right away, thats just the way I do things. I do not add bank accounts to paypal. (I dont do that til later when I know it is going to be a decent account)

I opened 4 of them with TRACFONE
and 1 of them with PINGER (kind of like textalk, its an app for free phone numbers)

4 out of the 4, were successful. 3 had 5/$500 limits and 1 had 10/1,000 limit
The one I opened with pinger app was 0/0 and was told to call to lift limits and discuss my selling strategy and goals, when I tried to lift it.

So 4 out of 5 success rate and the 1 that was not successful I am 100% is because a free number carrier was used and not an actual phone line carrier.

I have to do my regular stealth work, but over the next few days I am going to open more. And I will keep you posted on what happens!

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

wow really ? do you mind sharing a a little step by step on how you create both ebay and paypal ? what kind of vcc did you used ? and did you have to confirmed the $1.95 on vcc ? i know you dont attach vba until later.. and you creating ebay regular account first then convert into seller account or create seller account from start ? also at what point do you link the paypal account to ebay ? and are you creating paypal via ebay 'sign up' ? sorry for many questions.

I just bought myself couple of tracfone tonjight, was going to give it a shot and want to make sure I dont waste it. thanks for your time
