As a first time seller, how do I get a rating? What are the other restrictions?

[yatto1951]

I reside in Australia and I have a very good rating as a buyer.

I have never sold any items on eBay and have 100's of items I wish to sell.

Is my rating as a buyer a good indicator for potential buyers?

What is the price limit for my first sale/s and am I restricted to selling only within Australia?

Buyers look at a seller's feedback as a seller, not as a buyer.

As far as I know, you can sell wherever you want and there are no price limits for new sellers, but scammers target new sellers with expensive items, so you should be aware of this.

As a new seller, your funds won't be released immediately. I think they keep them for up to 21 days. And you do have to register for Managed Payments.

Unless it's changed recently, new sellers have always had limits of 10 listings and $2500.

You are most probably right, as I am not a seller. I was just thinking of people coming here as new sellers selling expensive items and then being targeted by scammers, so I thought they can sell expensive items, although $2500 is enough to be called expensive...
