Question re a zero limit account
 

I set up a stealth eBay UK account sometime ago, and logged in to see how things were going. I've never sold/purchased anything on it, but noticed that the selling limits are: 0.

So eBay have prompted me to add a bank ac, but the main question; is it worth adding the bank, or should I retry with another new account and hope they'll give me something?

Thanks.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

If you add a bank account they will up your limits to 10/650

Just follow the prompts on screen. There's usually a ten minute wait before they update the selling limits.

Thanks JS. So they only offer 10/650? I may just create a few more and see if I can get a higher amount.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

If it's a 0/0 to start they ways go to 10/650 in my experience.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

I have been in this situation

If you get 0 selling limit from start thats means eBay dont like you from start

Change your method Of account Creation

There is something wrong you doing in account creation and only you can figure it out

It's like getting the middle finger.....don't take it personal, just keep trying to make them.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Thanks, I'll look into improving ac creation instead of wasting time with this one.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Absolute rubbish. It is possible to get 0/0 accounts at any time but they can be rectified with ease in few minutes. They are not any weaker over the long term either.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Takes five seconds to go on CHAT and get them to raise the limts - 100/3500 is attainable off the bat.

Lolz before you deny any statement make sure you have some grounds

Ebay Have algorithm From A to z

accounts created outside these algorithms Gets problems Its very simple logic if you Do some homework
There is a reason why ebay doesn't give any selling limits, its not a glitch or Human error
I am not saying the accounts are done with 0 selling limits yes they can go super strong in future.
But its not wise to burn your bank account to these kind of Accounts

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Adding a bank account to a 0/0 is not "burning a bank account"

0/0 accounts are just as strong as any other account long term.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Not anymore

Used to be the case though but eBay have really clamped down on it recently.

Going on chat you may be able to get the limits increased to 10 items though, but again these days its always hit and miss.

Adding a bank account with nearly always guarantee that you get the limits increase though so its well worth doing

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Six accounts all made this week using that method - working fine.

Works fine and never added a bank account prior.

I appreciate you may want to deter users to trying these methods to be able to sell accounts, so I guess its not in your interest to publish methods to develop accounts, but it is definitely a working method currently.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Good to hear you have had better results

I was sharing my experience. No hidden agenda bud

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

In terms of selling limits, what can one expect off the bat nowadays for a UK account?

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

To clarify,

You have created 6 accounts (all 0/0)

And had them raised right away to 100/3500 via chat?

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Same as always. The standard starting limits are 10 / £650 a month

I am not sure that will ever change to be honest.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Its been a mix and match.

6 all given 0/0 then raised to 100/3500 on chat.

10 with 10/650 as standard.

Same method employed for creation on them all.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Interesting. I suppose both the 0 and 10 limits attract 100 on chat? And I take it they just ask a few half assed questions during the call?

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

My experience of chat recently is that the ebay account has to be over 30 days old for them to increase the limits using chat.

Even then it's not a guaranteed 100/3500.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Good point. Do they ever reduce it to zero during chat (say from 10)? Or is this rare?

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

They won't ever decrease your limits.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Oh I have plenty of grounds and many years of running successful stealths to make such statements. I don't need to do my homework as graduated many years ago.:nerd:

Don't believe some of the BS you read on here, certainly not from certain account sellers who of course want to tell you all about the complex algorithms, to promote their own sales.

Fact is, if this was true all my accounts would have exactly the same limits to start with and exactly the same holds as my creation methods are identical to the 'T' over 50+ active and selling stealth accounts. They don't.

If however you want to be a sheep and follow and believe everything you read on here without finding out for yourself it simply is not the case, then that is up to you.

Also, stop spouting absolute tosh about not 'burning' a bank account on a 0/0 account. You should already have the bank account attached to the paypal before you even request to sell on ebay.

Re: Question re a zero limit account
 

Thinking that eBay don't use algorithms is a bit naïve really. They 100% do

Some days the chances of getting a 10 item account increase, other days chances of getting a 100 item or 500 item account increase. If you were to make 50 accounts all at the same time using the same sort of information then you would, in theory, get exactly the same limits.

As it is though no one makes 50 accounts all at the same time. Those 50+ accounts you made would have been made over the course of months so that by itself means all the accounts you made are not all identical. Some address you use will be better than other addresses. Some names you use would also be better than other names. Time, address, name, date all play a factor in the eBay limits. This is determined by the algorithms that eBay do use.

Strangely some days you can make accounts all day long as only get 10 item accounts. Other times you can make accounts all day long and get 100 item accounts. There is a factor of randomness, but through trial and error it is possible to increase the likelihood that you will get higher limits than 10 items. That doesn't mean you would get 100 item accounts 100% of the time, but you can increase your odds of getting a 100 item account from 10% of the time to 40% of the time.

If anyone puts in the time then they can work out the patterns, just like the forum account sellers do. It does take a lot of trial and error though
