ive noticed a seller with nearly 10,000 listings and is still a private seller ?

how is this possible ? i went onto private chat and after 5 so called specialists not one could answer !

who are these so called specialists who havnt got a clue , i ended up on usa chat after been handed around and around then they said we will send you an email within 24/72 hours !!

this seller got 10000 free listings ! plus all the ones they have sold .

i was forced to become a buisness seller after around 200 sales

Even when unregistered business sellers are reported, ebay don't seem to care!

There is not a limit to how many items a private seller can list.

Private sellers get 300 free listings a month, but can have additional listings if they pay a fee to list.

For private sellers, buy it now listings relist automatically so, over about 3 years, a seller could accumulate 10.000 listings by only using free listings.

Some sellers using private accounts, particularly in categories such as stamps and postcards, do seem to have enormous private collections.

However, having 10,000 items listed does not necessarily indicate a business seller.

Sellers with dozens of handmade items, or 20 brand new pairs of shoes probably should be business sellers. A fanatical collector with thousands of vintage postcards collected over decades could be a genuine private seller.

Its a waste of time trying to get an answer off a specialist as they just pass you from one agent to another normally with Asian names .

They are specialists in transferring you to another agent and thats it , they havnt a clue.
