First off, I sure hate it when something looks dead then it gets 20 bids in 1 minute going from 20 bucks to 100 lol. Jerks!

If you just joined this year they put a 10 item a month limit on you to sell, that sucks. Does anyone know a way around it? Its 10 items or 500 bucks. :irked:
 
wait so now you can only sell 10 items a month on ebay? or 500 bucks??

i guess use another account. but ud have to use another card too.
 
so what happens if the item your selling is worth or goes over the $500 limit? does that mean you can only withdraw $500 tops per month?

Coz if thats the case, i'm leaving E-bay...
 
Thats absurd! what about the stores? I assume theyre exempt from this.

See that is the trick to biding on ebay. You have to find the item you want and bid on it. I do not bid on items until they about to end. This way I do not drive up the price of the item unnecessarily. Sellers will bid on their own items just to drive up the price. I know they do because I have several friends that do this. I do not agree with the practice but non the less it happens. The trick is you have to enter the highest bid at the last moment before some one else does. If I find some thing I relay want I will bid at the last moment at a price I think I want to pay but over what I think the other persons has bid. You gotta be quick and smart about it. Don't start bidding on something that has several days left on. Wait until its getting ready to end. And you will get the best deals. Use the watch this item feature. It comes in handy.
 
well I know its for new accounts for selling,like me,,,,,,,so anyone have experience yet with getting your limit raised or any help with this?

It tells you right in the rules.

"As a new seller, you need to establish a positive selling history and show that you're able to meet the needs of your customers before you list higher quantities."

I personally agree with this.
I am glad there is a limit for new sellers.
Nothing against you, just there are a bunch of cheaters out there. So I think waiting 90 days will slow them down.
 
That is good to know... at least i won't have to worry about that then :D
