New Seller Limits or what?
 

About 3 weeks ago i created a new UK ebay seller account.
I have fully verified it, and have verified paypal etc..

But i listed a few items, and then requested to increase selling limits, and normally they request to post a letter sent to the address registered on the account.
This time i just had to get a phone call with a pin, however now instead of the limits increasing to 100/£3500 now i get 25/£750 per month.

Is this new?? Has anyone else got this?
I thought 100 items a month was low, but 25 is just painfully low lol..

25/£750 now seems to be the new 100/£3500.

A quick call will get them raised to 100/£3500 or even higher if your lucky!

They wont get raised until after 90 days, then you can raise them every 30 days after that.

You can call the day you create the account and get them raised.

90 days is for automatic increases, and even those are being reported before 90 days now.

Are new accounts with 100 items to list, a thing of the past?
or am i to expect the 25 item limit still :s

There are very few cases where people get 100 these days in the UK. 25 is the standard limit.

It's been like this since about July though so you found out late...

Yes, they are a thing of the past.

25/£750 is now the standard after linking p/p account

this is just rubbish really!
What about if you request the letter to your address? does that increase it?

Letters are not standard, that option is very randomly applied when requesting increases

I tried calling on one account to see if I could get the limits raised, and was just advised to press the button for the letter confirmation. I guess it just depends on what rep you get on the phone.

I'll make another call once I have some sales on the account, so they have more to look into, and consider when making a decision on raising limits over the phone next time.

hi I had the 25 limit I called them after I got a few feedback and said look I dont want the world but a bit more than 25 would help , and they were really helpful I dont see what the fuss people make about calling them is Ive done it twice now

e/b consider many factors when assessing whether they will raise selling limits on a new account, it's all about risk for them.

The less risk they perceive the more likely you are to get selling limits raised.

Calling them however will not work on every account and as many users have found to their detriment it has backfired on them by leading to docs requests or worse permanent limitations.

It's a bit like Russian roulette, keep pulling the trigger and eventually you will shoot yourself in the head

Personally I like my head as it is and have always found patience to be a virtue when dealing with e/b or p/p

If I need to sell more I open more accounts, then I'm always ahead of the game

emm i with a uk ebay account can confirm , have a stealth over 100 days and fook all has increased.

best to get a letter or call in . be prepared ;p.

hmmm what number did you use . hope to meet the nicer lot. i end up losing it with their b.s lol.

Dont stay on the line to long or the phone starts to become hot !

how do limits get raised continuously?

i dont want to phone ebay

i dont know the DOB on a couple of accounts :doh:

Just keep selling up to your limits and try to avoid any neg fb or opened cases

So, how many of you's have the limits raised after 90 days, even on a good DSR?

I have a TRS account that still has the original 100 selling limit. The account must be a year old.

I have other accounts that are not TRS with much bigger selling limits. Its pure pot luck in my opinion.

In 90% of cases you start seeing increases after 90 days.

I've had limits raised automatically on accounts after 30 days and some on 45 days.

90 days is not a hard and fast rule, it's all about how your account is set up, what you sell and how you sell which all goes towards gaining e/b's trust

i had requested a letter twice to the address i had access to. both times i misplaced it somewhere lol, now i try requesting it again it says i have to wait 2 weeks before i request it again but i never even requested it 2 weeks ago. if i dont type in the code will my limits increase or do i have to put in the code? i was thinking to call eb

You have to input the code and calling them will probably make no difference.

If you need to sell more just open more accounts.

"Simples" as Sergei would say.

ive lost the letter with the code and when i request a new one it wouldnt send me one it says try again in 2 weeks or something. reason why i wanted to call them is to send me the letter as it wouldnt do it from my account.

They probably still won't send it anyway as you have already requested it and because their systems are automated they haven't got the brains to figure out how to send it manually.

i did request it couple months ago, twice, but have misplaced it somewhere at the address. il have a look and ok il give it a miss calling them i think.

What do they ask when u ring them?

i never rang them, if i want to speak to them i might use the ebay chat.

update: got my code, punched it in ebay got my limits increased :)
