Just Started Selling and Need Your Help Please

[awesomesensation]

I have just placed 6 items up and was wondering a few questions which are;

1) Why is there a restriction on the amount I can sell per month?

2) Are my listings and Descriptions okay or not?

3) is there a quicker way to get this seller restriction removed or?

4) and lastly, where do I go to promote my items for sale or are you not allowed to do this?


Thanks in advance,

Awesome Sensation

Oh! This thread is still going......your certainly a glutton for punishment. I can't wait to see who has the last word. Hmmmmm....I put my money on you...lol

"glutton for punishment" I don't think so, I just want to know all the ins and outs before I do something wrong, which apparently I had with my listings so I adjusted them accordingly.

The only thing I don't understand how is it "wrong" to ask questions? so what if I asked the same questions on another site, it's like comparing apples to oranges, they are different sites, for those who don't get the comparison there.

WOW, that's pretty heavy duty!! I noticed that he also offers to ship his seeds to Tas and WA, even though he mentions there are quarantine issues. I wonder if anyone actually reads his whole listing, especially to the part right down to bottom on how to leave positive feedback, complete with photos!

G'day Dave .....

   Hi ya again, Wozza ... 

Actually Lou, I'd hate to see this thread denigrate into the carp, as it has a lot of good stuff in it for new/recycled/ buyers .......

but I will admit to having sat on my fingers for a while.

Woz, one of the reasons ebay is so successful is that people want to deal with people, not some sort of private Walmart/Kmart clone, particularly for high ticket items. Listings need to at least create some sort of rapport & trust between the buyer & the seller. Project an image of who you are .....

Selling is really quite simple.

First, you need to have something buyers want. It's even easier is you have something they need.

The very first words you type will determine your success. When creating your listing heading (finding line), think like a buyer.

Every purchase is an item with an emotion attached.

While you should never list an item for less $$$ than you are happy to accept, a seller needs to ensure their emotion does not exceed that of the buyers.

The Old Keep It Simple, Salesman (KISS) principle.

Too much information & buyers tune out. Especially if they think it isn't relevant to them. The same with too many buying options that require too many decisions when making a purchase.

Your right there about learning stuff. Im amazed at how Harley tracked down previous history.

Yep. I believe in the KISS principal but I alway thought it was KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID......lol

I think there might be a very good reason EJ refrained from using that Lou

Hi Lou, It had me lying in bed trying to figure it out too. ( there may have been an unintentional clue in a later post ). I think I,ve got it and like most things, if I,m right its not that hard if you are slightly computer savvy ( which I,m not ) and have got a few minutes ( which I havnt ) , but I,m still impressed......................... RESPECT on this one Harley

I've done as suggested by all of you, I have simplified my "ads" as you call it, and hello EJ How are you this fine evening? (or Day, or afternoon, depending on when you check out this forum again).

I've checked everywhere, in regards to limit increases, I have added a Debit Card as Automatic Payment Method, I tried PayPal as Automatic Payment Method.

The only thing where it says to link to account that you have a higher selling rank on, but I can't do that, because one I don't remember the email I used for that since it's yonks ago and 2, not even sure if the email is active even if I do remember it.

So it looks like for the time being I am stuck on listing only 10 items a month OR $2,500 a month depending on which comes first.

For those who went out of the way to help me out on eBay thank you so much for your genorousity and not just make assumptions, You guys are awesome.

Thanks for the genorusity and the help and not jumping to conclusions or assumptions like many others have done in helping me, barring some other members.

You should call eBay and ask them about a limit increase ...find out how/when you may be able to get one in the future.

Your old account is no longer registered so it will be of no use, when trying for a limit increase... you have to have an account in good standing with recent activity.

In 'My Ebay there is a section Monthly Selling limits, click on Request higher selling limits -  follow the prompts and call eBay, they can look at your account and see all your details.
