Ebay selling limits

fairyclicks

Hi there, i have 100 items selling limits as a private seller and would like more if possible but when i contacted ebay they said 100 is the maximum - i'm sure i have heard of people having more on a private account though?? Anyone know if this is right?

Thanks

100 is an odd limit for a seller it is usually lower until you get a good selling history. Just one thought, you are not mistaking your 'free' listing limit with an overall limit are you?

Also be careful about listing a lot of things all at once as a private seller, I know you are on various 'challenge' threads so do remember that as soon as you buy something in a charity shop or car boot to sell on you are a business and would need to upgrade your account.

Sorry to highjack but that brings up a question from me from soolins answer..

I used to be an avon rep and gave up last year. I have lots of stuff left over that is new and unopened. Could I sell that as a private seller or would that be a business seller. Thanks in advance for answer soolin

Technically I think it should go through a business account, but realistically small amounts being listed may be seen as merely disposing of the stuff you bought for yourself and no longer want to keep.

However, ebay do place quite small limits on the amount of items a private seller can list in the health and beauty section, so you may find yoruself to as small amount as 3 items a month.

Thanks for that, this is actually to sell all my own clothes that i have grown out of which is why its on a private account - i had hoped to get most of them all on at once :rotfl:
