Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

How is everyone doing on the new accounts?
Been making a few a week, getting either 10/1,000 or 5/500.
No 0/0's

Let me know how everyone is doing, curious.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

just hit 0/0 today

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

It worth calling in with 0/0 the questions are cake.

Its very simple stuff like "where do you keep the items your selling?", "do you have receipts?", "what are you selling?"...etc...etc.. Very basic things a kid can answer...

They usually give you 10/1000 to start.... You can try to get higher limit by wanting to sell a car, but not always a go.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Actually those are the questions they ask you when you get the first restriction AFTER you already post your first item for sale.
With the 0/0 limits they ask you public database questions which are NOT the same and are NOT so easy to answer.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Yep been getting the 5/500 over and ovr lately better than 0/0 but still a slow start anyone got a 10/1000 last few days?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

...and public database questions are what exactly? I've seen people mention this before but nobody goes into specifics.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

In the US, these are questions about a particular person's history such as the date they bought a specific car, their height, or how old their sister is etc. It's next to impossible to answer those correctly unless it's your real account, or you're very lucky (and that's if questions are even pulled up at all, as most of the time there won't be any public records on the phony name + whatever address that was used).

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Well I just got a 0/0 on my first ever stealth. I made the mistake of setting up the paypal fully verified with a LLC I registered for this situation. Getting the LLC was a long and some what costly process. So I'm not thrilled at all.

Because I was foolish enough to set this all up under the LLC I would like to get the 0/0 raised on this account and go forward. However, it sounds like the only way to do that is a call in and verifying with faxed ID. I see a lot of great idea about how to create a new account that wont get 0/0 however I would love to just save this account. Any chance?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Would be pretty tough to do unfortunately, did you use google voice for phone by any chance?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I did use google voice. Gotta get it removed from the list on the manual it looks like =(

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

My beef now is that I just burnt up an LLC. Also, after reading every thing in here I'm beginign to think that ebay in general is not an option for a viable, sustainable, stable business. I'm not selling any thing even remotely risky. For gods sake I have spools of thread I'm sitting on right now. At least with Amazon if there is a mistake they let you explain yourself. I'm going to look at bonanza... it looks like margin on sales there is not so bad.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Yep google voice did you in, in the future should use something like tracfone

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

IMO you NEVER add an EIN until paypal demands it.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Soooo true.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

You can list an item on ebay without even making a paypal account. When the item is listed and you see your limits, then you make your paypal account and add things to it like credit cards, banks, etc. Don't add EINs to your stealth accounts unless paypal asks for them. And when I say, "when they ask," I mean when they pretty much DEMAND that you add your EIN.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

the ebay and pp accounts have not yet been verified, but will be verified before anything is posted on them, these accounts are still aging while sitting here right?
And the accounts say nothing about limits, will limits appear when the accounts get a listing?
or if it doesn't say anything does the account have a 0/0?
it doesn't say anything right now NOT 0/0 OR 10/100, NOTHING.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

The limits are there even if you cannot see them. And no - listing one item will not cause them to appear.
If you call in and ask they will tell you what those limits are.
Ive done so on several such accounts - a few were 5/500 and one was actually 1000/25k. No way to know until you call in really.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

oh okay, on my old account that got shut down, it showed the limits after posting, I will have to call tomorrow, I call from the number registered to the account right?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Correct.
And keep it simple. Just tell them you wish to start selling and you were doing your research and that youre aware there should be some sort of limits and you cannot find them anywhere and if they can tell you what those are so you can plan ahead. They like those words - planning ahead.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Okay, I will call alter today, as for aging, the accounts are still aging even with no gift card on them right?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

When one calls them, or in UK uses chat to contact them, and mentions the limits and how one needs it for planning etc. Could it lead the conversation in a direction where you can ask eBay for higher limits, if they say that the limits are either 5 or 10 items? Maybe if you get lucky with the person on the other end?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I hear people complaining about the 5/500 accounts, I actually LOVE these. All my 5/500 accounts end up with higher limits than the 10/1000. For some reason these get mulitple selling limit increases, I've got one thats already at 100/10,000 after only about 3 months of being alive and barely any sales.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I've got 15 UK 10/650 accounts that are just going into their second month and they have been selling for 2 weeks. I will report back to this thread when I've sold for 3 months and see if any of them have had their limits raised and if what my new limits are.
The fact that you manage to get 5/500 accounts going with great results is encouraging stuff, thanks for the info :)

:spy:

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Yea and for some reason my 10/1000 are still at 10/1000 after like 6 months. The status is "above average" rating so I'm not sure why I haven't gotten increases. It's not a major deal bc I have many others I can sell on but I don't know what it is about these 10/1000 accounts. They seem to be pretty static...

I kid you not I wish I got more 5/500 accounts than 10/1000.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

In terms of listings at the beginning, at what point does one list to the limit and over? I read somewhere that it's possible to list OVER the limit and the result is that they bump the limit up a bit?
Any advice is appreciated. I've got 6-15 feedbacks already, all good and positive. I just wonder should I perhaps list over the limit to force the bump?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Anyone having the 0/0 limit placed on their Ebay account shortly after attempting to sell their first item? I created a stealth account and linked it to another stealth verified PayPal, the Ebay originally had a 5/500 limit but as soon as I went to list my first item the limit decreased to 0/0. I called them and they said they had to do the info check, the fact that I used a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name and address I already knew it would not end well, but when they tried to pull up my name and address in their system nothing showed up so they told me that I would have to give them any other address that I have lived at. Just curious if anyone else on here is experiencing this problem recently and how to get around it. Thank you in advance for any responses.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Literally just had that happen 2 hours ago. One rep told me I needed to add a bank account to my attached PayPal to verify my identity.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

yea ....this happens to me alot cuz im new .........so i do call in and yes sir it is up to the representative....lately it has been no on two accounts but in the same breath i got one approved for 25 to 1500 so it was cool on that one but from now on i am trying to mess with the ones i think are from another country....... but at the same time know that they are recording your calls in their information log....so each time you call in they not only type it in but i think the bots (algorithm) are made aware that you called in ....because i called a few times and not because i hung up (it was an internet burner so i got cut off) but i received 25 to 2500 but a day or a few hours after i got the raise it was cut off....of course if it is 0 to 0 ....you will have nothing to lose....

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

used several accounts these past few days.
all got the 0/0 limit.
none of them were PP verified however...

anyone got any workarounds?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

how do you create your seller account?

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Hi there havent been on the thread in awhile but I figured I would chime in.
If you get 0/0 shortly after selling it means you need to call in. They want to verify who you are over the phone. Now I usually have a 1 in 3 chance when I call of getting the 0 limit lifted. So I usually do not bother. It takes about an hour to go thru the whole thing and to call 3 to save 1 I can make 3 new ones in that time.

It just means you have to get more solid stealth information together before opening an account.

Some say that having a bank hooked to paypal and verified is the trick but to this day I can open a brand new account list that very day and not have to call in and not have a verified paypal with no bank. So it may just be a matter of tweeking the way you gather info and make the accounts.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Good so far.

You're not very good on the phone if you have to call 3 times and spend an hour lifting the limits. I have a 85% success rate and it takes only 5-8 minutes per call. At the end, I get limits between 5 and 50 items per month, the most common limits being 15 and 25.

It comes down to the phone # you use. Google Voice = Kiss of death. But using Google Voice specifically to get 0/0 is a great tactic, because then you get higher initial limits after the call.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

its the phone number.
all my account that use google voice or text apps have this 0/00 bull****!

not saying this is always the case but its what ive noticed. but if u get 0/00 just call in like i did. even failed the id test and they still gave me 10/500.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Sometimes, I use Google Voice to create an account and intentionally get 0/0 limits so I can have higher initial limits. I've gotten 0/0 to as high as 50, and I get 50 about 20% of the time.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

So far this is what I've noticed and learned. When you make your account make PayPal first verify it with vcc avs and bank account. Make sure you use a real phone instead of google voice or voip. Then only after you get op verified then you should make a eBay. If you follow this outline your chances will be higher and you will get less chances of getting 0/00 but of course everything else must be on point too like cookies and ip and addresses etc.
Ssn honestly I think it helps but it's not necessary. But remember those 2 things. Get op verified then you make eBay. I noticed that if I make a business pp and have it fully verified chances of me getting high limit when sign up for eBay is a lot higher. But of course I need to do more testing to be totally sure

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

How are you creating Business PP accounts now?

Last I tried, it required a SS# to "upgrade".

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

i register as a corp. use EIN.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

It usually works like this with GV. Confirmed many times.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

This tactic is effective in some cases. I saw "fax your info" and large limit increase 100k/25k at the same time. And if you are doing the right thing - you get those limits.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Sorry, could you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand.

Are you saying that Google Voice results in 25,000 items per month, or that faxing in your documentation does, or....?
