This a good plan to remove selling limits completely ?

[mellyuk80]

Verify paypal completely
set up website with items I plan to sell (take 1 day to make)
reg ebay with administrator@domain.com
call them up to request higher selling limits (remove completely hopefully) and say I run soso.com and want to start selling on ebay and try to convince them to completely remove selling limits on new account

Anyone tried this before ? is it a solid plan

You'll need a VAT number too!

You won't get ZERO selling limits, as they do not exist, but you may get very high.

[mellyuk80]

Your turnover has to be 77k per annum before you have to register for VAT correct ?

Im trying to plan my way back onto ebay after a mistake, problem for me is my items have loads of variations and are BIN auctions therefore I need no selling limits

no matter how high your limits are, i believe you can get linked for listing the same types of items. once you are linked, it does not matter how high your limits are, you will get suspended. be careful

Wrong - you can register at any stage - once you hit £77K you MUST register

@ Melly

You are the first junior member in a long long time that seems to get the gig.

Do not rush this - you are on the right track and I am happy to help you here - do NOT lose it - that looks terrible on my CV

Consider becoming a company director

[slim jim]

not to knock the plan at all and just out of curiosity, do you think the person doing a manual review will have the know-how to look up and see that this site was just recently registered?

[GrannyT]

Does not matter - it's the whole picture - still a lot to do but on the right track

[Stigger]

As above , does not matter when it was created.

Its the fact your going in the right direction that counts.
