Monthly Selling Limits

id1958 — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 19:31:15 GMT

Has anyone else been imposed with eBay's new monthly selling limits of 500 items a month or £3,500 as they seem grossly unfair to private sellers. You could use up this allowance very quickly e.g by listing high value items which may not sell anyway & eBay are not forthcoming in increasing your allowance unless you have regular sales. When I queried this with eBay I received quite a patronising reply as if "they know best so run along & do as you are told"

Why are they introducing such draconian measures as surely this will alienate sellers who may decide it is not cost effective to continue or switch to other selling sites.

Has anyone else had a similar experience to this

My personal opinion is that no private Seller should need a consistant monthly selling limit of 500 items a month or £3,500

@id1958

As private sellers are those selling their own old, used & unwanted items.....I cannot imagine why many if any would require more than 500 listings or a £3500 limit......unless they were trading under private registration

These are not new or draconian rules, they have existed for at least the last 10 years.......perhaps if they reintroduced the 20 free listings a month which is all we were entitled to before this year you would be happier ??

Ha i just contacted live chat as i am staying on the old pages. They confirmed what i thought......we have NO Selling limit.

umpingjack1234 check your Seller dashboard as that may shed some light on why you have a limit.
