Simple answer.....you have to get good feedback to show you're a good seller.

 

So.......just sell stuff.

 

 

edit:  just had a look at your listings.  Don't start your auctions at $1

(ignore ebay's advice on that one)

 

Start them at a price you would be happy to accept.  

 

If you only get one bid, it won't cover fees

Link a credit card to your account, sell as many things as you can and be more realistic with your listings. If you want thirty or forty bucks for an item don't start it at a dollar, chances are you will get little more than that for it. Until you get established and acquire some feedback list some low value items that you don't mind only getting a couple of bucks for and then ask for an increase in listings.

 

Although not their reason for limiting listings for newbies it means you get a chance to work out the kinks and make your mistakes (and we all do when we are newbies) before you get in too deep.

 

You have plenty of characters to spare with your titles so use them, some of your clothing doesn't have the colour in the title, think of all words a buyer may use in a search and include as many as you can.

 

You put very little into describing your items and you should aways put at least basic measurements with clothes and shoes.

 

COD means cash on delivery, an expensive AP service with no seller protection. It does not mean cash on pick up so you need to change that.

Check out if there is a link to request higher limits in the vicinity of your current listing tally.

 

From help pages:  "When you list an item, you may see a message letting you know that you have met, or are close to, one of your monthly account limits. If you don't want to wait until the next month to continue listing, click the link in the message to request higher selling limits."

You also need to call ebay to increase your selling limits. they will ask you some questions and then tell you whether they will increase your limits. They won't do it via messages.
