Thank you so much for your advice. I contacted eBay support today and spoke to agent Aastha. She confirmed that upgrading to a Business account will not automatically increase selling limits or bypass the waiting period. eBay bases limits strictly on account performance and selling history, regardless of account type. She also confirmed that for new sellers, first increase is after 45 days, then every 30 days after that. Sharing this for everyone's information.

Just a heads up - you cannot sell an unbranded lookalike product with Scholl in the title unless the product is actually Scholl brand, you could end up like many of the sellers we've been helping who have received legal money demands from brand lawyers.

Thank you so much for this warning. I will immediately check and edit my listings to remove any brand names that don't belong to my products.

You're very welcome @muha-461517 , there have been some heavy duty legal letters flying around recently from some brands.

Even items that are lookalikes will infringe intellectual copyright, many sellers come unstuck with that one. There was a seller who bought some unbranded moustache combs from a Chinese site to resell on eBay, and found themselves with a bill from a US lawyer representing the brand who'd had their design copied. There was no mention of the original brand in the sellers listings, the item just unfortunately was a close copy of the branded item.
