eBay don't just give newbies the same kind of selling allowance as sellers who have been established on the site for a number of years. First of all you have to prove yourself to be a trustworthy seller, and once eBay are happy that you can be trusted with a higher selling allowance they will raise the limits for you. When I first started selling on eBay I was had an allowance of ten listings or a maximum amount of £100.00 earned from sales per calendar month, whichever came first. Once I'd hit either one of the cut-off points I had to wait until the first day of the following month for the limits to be reset back to the maximum amount that I was allowed at that time.
If eBay haven't changed the rules for new sellers since I first started selling then you should find that once you receive ten positive buyer feedbacks from nationally based buyers eBay will increase your listing allowance and the maximum amount that you can earn from sales per calendar month. In addition to that you will also be offered the chance to make your listings available to overseas buyers, although it is not compulsory and you can just stick to selling to nationally based buyers if you don't want to get involved in selling to overseas buyers.
