0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

Is 0/0 a issue that has happened in the past around this time? I get why they increase security around this time. I've been on this forum since early march this year so I didn't get a chance to know how it went last year..

0/0 is the end of the world once you know how to get around it ..just a pain in the $$$

Every holiday season it's something different that starts in Sept/October and goes until Feb/March of the following year.

Last year it was MC999/request for info as soon as an account was created. This was dubbed the "New MC999" by ppl here on the forums. It's a phenomenon that faded away in March '14.

...and a few years ago it was something different, I forget exactly what.

Yeah theres always increased security nearing holiday season, just need to adapt and overcome as always

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

Thats nice to know. Id rather it be that than an all of sudden ramp up on security measures.

i just called to restore a account. the guy said the restriction I have will expire the 18th of this month??? anyone have a ebay rep tell them? I done waiting on the phone to speak with someone so if its restored great or ill just trash it.

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

they said its to make every ebay sale "secure" and they would be doing a new investigation on "new" accounts.

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

They want to be sure that customers get their gifts for Christmas and other holiday. "New" accounts are the most suspicious.

Have not had any problems so far......

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

I have had 0/00 with 4 new accounts within the last week :/

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

the IP and phone number are most important, steps are second.

I for one believe bad phone numbers are beginning to get recycled

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

don't use a phone number public ( google voice ) and some another cause ( info , ip) :D

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

The 2 newest accounts I had set up had been 0/0 as soon as I listed the first item. I listed very safe, low value stationary **** like erasers, notebooks, etc...Is this a new security or is it just me? Any words of advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I am tempting to call them.

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

It is there new security measures. Sometimes the limits do not show until after you list. Boom- then they drop the 0/0 hammer on you. Address, phone and browsing are the 3 keys to success in this situation.

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

Would you mind elaborating further on the browsing topic? I appreciate your time.

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

You should spend a few minutes like a new, normal ebayer would, looking around, clicking on links, etc. Don't rush straight through the process, that would raise some flags.

my friend hustler_nyc ... long time no see

There are plenty of ways around it... in my opinion none of them are concrete enough though..

i have an account i just made with good limits... have no idea what i did.. ebay is RANDOM.

Last year.. i do not think there was a big 0/0 problem.. just the instant M-Word

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

I just made 2 sellers accounts yesterday and listed 1 item on each account; both have 10/1000 limit.

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

Yes. I spent 6 days browsing, following as well as buying stuff. The other waited 3 mons before listing the first item and still 0/0.

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

Maybe you should call to ebay? :D

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

Hi hustler you are saying this 0/0 restriction thing going to only last till the 18th i sure hope so it will make life easier?

Re: 0/0 limit old/new ongoing issue?
 

Reps can very rarely be trusted. Hopefully it works out that way, but I highly doubt it. I think this is here to stay, at least through the holidays. Time will tell.
