eBay Seller Limit?

ramenkid

Hello, I've been recently selling quite of bit of my stuff on ebay, some new some used, mostly clothes, bags & shoes. Most of them are high street stuff and occasionally a few designer items.

Last night when I tried to load up a leather belt I want to sell, I got a message saying my seller limit is reached for that item and I can't sell the same brand/ category for the next 30 days (something like that!). I've sold one/ two belts in the last 2 months but they weren't branded (only from Primark). Though I am selling 2 items in same brand as this belt this week but in womens clothing category. The belt, I was selling it under women's accessories - Belts. So I don't understand why there's a limit on this item.

Is there anyway to remove the limit or do I have to wait a whole month b4 I can sell this belt? Would it be the same if I'm selling more of this brand of clothing (not belt). I bought quite a few things from this brand when they had a sale on but some of them I realize I don't really need so will put them on ebay at some point.

I have over 400 feedback & 100% positive. Would be grateful if somebody can explain why this happens?

Thanks!!

It happens if you sell quite few designer items (and your a private seller) they don't have to be the same brand. It normally seems to happen if the seller hasn't been selling long or there is a change in selling habits

this is normally the policy it counts under

eBay may require a seller to be registered for a period of time in order to sell certain types of items or volume of items. This is especially true in efforts to help limit the listing of items that are reportedly favored by counterfeiters.

I predict a raise in the number of items listed in the "wrong" category on ebay.

As this policy has been in place for years. I very much doubt it

I always put my items in correct categories, and my ebay account was registered in 2004. I used it to sell stuff I don't want. Usualluy I have a clearout 2 - 3 times a year. Though I have to say say I've been selling more in the last 2 months, but all of my items are different. I always sell clothes as i always buy, then realise i don't need/ like/ use anymore.

So do I need to wait 30 days or is there a way round it? I want to list the belt with my other items going on this week (just thought I may get more hits if people look at 'seller's other items')

Does anyone know how many item is the limit then?
