So I'm itching to scale up because I'm having relatively good success at a small level.
I first started using only the FREE 50 listings per month offer by ebay and I was selling about
1 item per day which was good for me as a beginner/newb.
Then about a month later, I decided to try the basic store, and now pay $25 per month
for the basic store. However, due to some selling limit I have applied on my account, they said
I can only sell 500 items per month or $6300 which ever comes first. I've listed about 150 items per month now (active selling) but since I'm capped at 6300 per month, I can't list more items for sale. Sometimes, in order to make more space, I'd have to lower the "quantity" amount for a particular item so that I can free up more money and be able to list a new item. I'm selling on average 2-3 items per day with this many listings, so it's working decent for me.
I wanted to upgrade my store to the $75/month fee so that I can list up to 1000 items free per month, but I think due to my selling limit, i would waste my money because I can't list more anyways right?
I think I read somewhere that every 3 months they will re-evaluate accounts to see if you're a good seller or not and then lift the limits. Is this correct? This would mean I'd have to wait for another 3 weeks or so before it's 3 months since I re-started selling on ebay.
I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on this. Is my monthly selling limit reasonable? At first, I wasn't allowed to sell more than 10 items at one time, but suddenly they lifted that and it became 500 or $6300. Now, I would like that to be lifted so that I can sell 1000 or $10k-20k? Not sure how it works. I'm pretty happy with how it's going so far, but I'm itching to scale up sooner than later. I'm willing to re-invest money that I've earned to make more money....that's how investing is done isn't? Whatever you earn, you have to put most of it right back in to grow even more. Then when you've made more money, you put that right back and grow even more etc. I'm ready for the next level up!
