Ebay stores

[shoppinghq]

Just set up an ebay store and noticed we have a $2500 selling limit on our account or ten items per month what's the point of going to all the trouble to list 500 items if you can only sell $ 2500 worth of stock a month can these limits be lifted straight away or does it take time how does it work ?

As a zero-feedback seller, you will need to have developed a good track record over a period of at least 3 months before eBay will substantially increase your selling limits, but I believe that simply by linking a credit card to your selling account, your limit should automatically increase to 100 items or $7500 worth of sales per month (whichever comes first).

Not sure how you are supposed to make any money with those restriction seem like a bit of a waste of our company recourses to even set it up even 7500 a month is nothing and 100 items what if they are only $ 10 items wow you get to sell a $ 1000 worth a month

I couldn't agree more, and I doubt it would be at all profitable setting up a store until your selling limits have been substantially increased. You are clearly better off selling casually until such time as you have established a decent level of feedback and DSR scores, but either way it will still be in your best interests to link a credit card to your selling account regardless.

We sold by auction without a store for about 12-months before we opened the stores.

Then linked up a credit card straight away. And got the 100 limit right away.

Then each 30-days you can call ebay to have your limits increased and they do it readily so long as your record is good.

You really have no choice that I know of but to bear with it until you can increase these selling limits. Bit of a pain at first but does come good.

Now we are cruising, and only have to call every couple of months to increase limits as our range expands.

Had you come here before opening your store then an awful lot of experienced sellers would have suggested that you sold without a store to build up some feedback, it also gives you general view of how you are doing  with ability to change things without it costing you anything more than the FVF on what actually sells.

As for new sellers being restricted how would ebay know you are an honest and reliable seller? There are enough scammers and although they try ebay are not the most efficient at catching and stopping them but at least they can limit somewhat the damage by restricting the number of listings until there is enough positive feedback.
