Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

Hey guys,

So I have been making many accounts lately with various different methods, however every time they always get 5/500 or 10/1000 limits. Previously in years past sometimes I have accounts that go directly to 50/10,000 and other higher-limit accounts, although I understand there is probably no rhyme or reason to this.

Recently I feel like it has been not only harder to get limit increases, but a decent starting limit as well.

So my actual question is, is this something unique to me? Has anybody shared my experience?

I have tried many ways to create these accounts so I know it's probably not a variable in account creation.

Looking forward to hear your responses :d

better than 0/0
I'd stop complaining

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

Its common to everybody. Youre not alone.

Enjoy!

Quite insightful indeed, better delete this post or everybody will know the secret now..

:rolleyes:

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

Yes I did.! :lol:

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

Yeah 5/500 is the norm nowadays, I find that there pretty easy to get limits increased on them anyways, just sell to the max and within a month it'll usually go up most the times

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

This has been my strategy so far. :d Is there any rhyme or reason to limit increases? or practically random. I have had several accounts lately that don't get increased after 50 for several months of to-limit selling

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

Haha! Good one.

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

You can call to request limit increases. If they ask address verification, just hang up and call back again.

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

It can also get he account shut down though :thumb:

Its always a risk to call into eBay, so selling to the limits is generally the way to go. Eventually you will get limit increase without any attention being brought to your account :thumb:

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

Yes, there's supposed to be a risk. My method is keeping the cost per account low, and raising limits ASAP. Everyone is different, and that's ok.

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

I generally find quality better than quantity personally. All to our own, but its important to make forum members aware of the risk when ringing in

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

Feel eBay not giving 0/0 anymore these days

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

I've gotten it a few times, but I make accounts and list items the same day, then call in and get increases.

^^^A variation of a method that may be dangerous for some and thus not advocated.

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

used to be before like.. 80% of time for 0/0

these weeks, all with 5/500; also no need to call in.. always sell in the first hour.

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

I should add, all my accounts are with GV numbers. That might be the culprit.

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

That might lead to suspension however....I wouldnt recommend hanging up - have you tried this?

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

That's his MO.... hanging up & calling again & agian until he gets someone to like him

Can you imagine the risk that creates?
:doh:

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

Too dangerous for new ppl here

Re: Getting 5/500 or 10/1000 Every Time
 

lol...I really need to be more detailed in my posts instead of assuming you guys know what I mean. :doh:

When you call and they do address verification, they will come up with no info. They will ask how long you've been at the address...I say x amount of time, then they ask your previous address (have one ready before you call!), give it to them, then they say, "We couldn't verify your info, please check the public records at xyz" you say ok, THEN hang up, and call back.

It was just easier to say "hang up and call back" than type all that out.
