Hi
I have a question for eBay veterans, my eBay account has a 10/1000 limit, does it apply to eBay store also which i recently subscribed to ?
Just asking because if it applies to my Store as well than i would be needing to look at drop-shipping options, wanted to be sure which way to go
Thank you in advance !
I have a nine year old account with ebay, and recently decided to trade full time, converted to a business account; opened a shop the whole nine yards.
But guess what I couldn't sell more than 100 items. Now if like me you want to earn your bread and butter trading on ebay and have some experience of this competitive market; you will know 100 items just wont generate enough profit. I called ebay and advised I am looking to list 1 15000 item inventory and explained I have 74 feedbacks (100% positive with most being sales and not buys) from the last 9 years; so why am I restricted to 100 items? the answer; I haven't sold in the last 3 months.
Now im a reasonable guy, so I accepted ebay has its rules, and asked how long till I can upload my entire inventory given my seller stats meet the min requirement? the answer 1 year. I then asked how much can my limit be extended to right now given my long standing impeccable history with ebay? the answer; 100 items WILL remain my selling limit.
Not only was I willing to invest 1000s of pounds into listing fees but was also aiming at 1000-1500 sales a month; the point being all ebay had to do was sit and collect 1000s on the back of my hard work.
The reason it can afford to turn me down?.... well its simple, there is no competitor that can match its size. Obviously ebay thinks its too big to be taken down (so did Hitler by the way) but pride comes before the fall.
I thinks sellers should follow me to go work with ebays competitors (ebid, cq out, amazon etc), encourage friends and family to not shop on ebay and stop using Paypal(an ebay company) to make payments on website that offer it as a payment option (many debit/and all credit cards) offer buyer protection, so why bother with promoting a business that has become too fat for its own good.
Dont be a victim, take a stand and do some damage...
be cool
