0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I've been having very good success making stealth ebay accounts that are unverified. The past 2 months I've made 20 accounts and have successfully sold on them - and they are still thriving, many of them with limit increases.

However, now every stealth account I make gets a message stating I have a selling limit of 0/0 whenever I go to list my first item. Being as though these are unverified accounts, I am guessing this is the reason why? Just so weird how ebay will let me bang out 20 of them without an issue, then start issuing me this 0/0 limit nonstop. I've had it hit 6 out of the last 8 accounts I went to create. Sad to see so many accounts go down.

Anyone else having a run of this 0/0 problem? I'm going to go back to verifying my paypal accounts and see how that goes for the time being. Wish me luck :)

Right, you'll want to have a verified PayPal account otherwise you'll have a higher chance at 0/0 limits.. this is happening more and more.

damn just worked forever getting everything setup and i get this 0/0 even tried calling in before giving up they just said computer cant find any public records so i would have to fax in a id to unlock so is this account just trash I mean verifying pp still wouldnt help huh

I've gotten past without verifying Paypal accounts (logic being, whenever I finally get a sale I will add a bank account eventually). The 0/0 limits in my opinion is due to bad info or linking info..

Have you tried making accounts today??

I made accounts Saturday, Sunday and Monday and verified paypal or not 0/0 limits

Today Tuesday all day from 2 am till I made my last account today at 8pm things were back to normal and getting 10/1000 limits

I think this was just something stupid eBay was doing the last few days but the window seemed to close

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Agreed with bad info or linking.. there are a number of factors that contribute to 0/0 limits I'm finding..

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

We're going to need a 'selling limits' section of the forum I think..

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

This was definitely something different the last week Aspkin, I haven't had a problem making an account for a year no mc999 nothing, but I started making accounts Saturday same as normal and 0/0 limits on everyone

But today everything has been back to normal

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Just made an account right now....10/$1,000, Nothing out of the norm.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Exactly, I had 1 account with 0/0 limits before this week (in my history of making accounts). This week alone I had more than 1

I think this is something new they are doing

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Yea just another curve or some bad idea that they tried out, whatever it was it seems to have ended and things are back to normal

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I can only imagine eBay tweaking the stealth filter... O,o

*edit, tmi

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Hey dmshark, i just tried to make two stealth accounts earlier this evening and yeah, i got the 0/0 on both accounts.

I use addresses that actually exist, i dont make them up.

The names i make up but i dont use uncommon or unheard of names. I wouldnt be able to pass a database test but it's not like i use some crazy name that doesn't exist.

I dont verify paypal but i do confirm it with vcc and 1.95 deposits. I link paypal to ebay.

Just weird how i am getting slammed with this 0/0 over and over the past two weeks but everything has been fine before that.

Should verify the PP in advance - still a good reocmmendation, safer too

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

i had the same thing happen to me. i called up ebay and they told me that i had 0 out of 0 because i all ready used up my selling points. i told them i have never sold on here be for. then they were asking me the stupid id questions. i did not pass them but they told me i can call them again in 24 hours and try again. maybe it was a ebay glitch or something you never now with them. then the next day i made another acc and have no problems . i made a 7 day test listing lke i always do and so fare so good. this was a ebay personal account. the first one i made that was getting 0 out of 0 was a business acc. see the only thng that i can think of is if you make a new acc and you make a ebay business acc maybe they shut you down faster not sure any one have something to say ???

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

They told you to call again in 24 hours...did you do it? Wasnt clear in your message

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

my paypal was verified and i still go it with this.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

they sad i can call them back but i did not because i did not have the time to. i will call them back asap and try to fix my acc.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

Another victim of 0/0 here; I call them drown accounts in my world with eBay.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

The limits are strange. I got an account under 3 months old. Sold 3 items and today I just got an email saying they are giving me from $500 to $800 limit and still got 10 items per month?

Then another account that got verified 2 months ago paypal emailed me saying to verify my credit card. Really? I already sold the items on it. I think it's just a really really late email.

Re: 0/0 limits on new accounts nonstop now
 

I ran into some issues with 0/0 probably last week or the week before. Kind of a bummer, although I assumed the phone numbers or some information I used was just bad (probably, switched to different phone numbers and have been clear so far). Been having luck with 10/1000 yesterday and today. Right now, I'm just making accounts every other day.

Judging from the wait times on some of these calls (some in excess of an hour), anything new would've been a complete waste of customer service resources. Ebay either needs to change their website again or stop being cheap and giving everyone headaches by requesting these processes unofficially over the phone. There is still nothing on the website that states these type of procedures. As soon as I hit 0/0 in creation, I just move on. Verification is an excuse for something else, not a requirement.
