Can you sell too much on ebay?

Hi,

I've started selling stuff that I've collected over the years on ebay, and now my Dad has asked me to sell some stuff on his belhalf.
I was planning to sell it on my account as I already have track records, and no limits on my papypal account.
However I wondered if you can get in trouble for selling 'too' much?
I'd probably have 30 items a week listed between the 2 of us for a while, (yes there is that much stuff:rotfl::eek:)
Just wondering if there are any issues with selling that much?

Sorry if it sounds a daft question.

Thanks

    Nope, the only risk is that you'll get your account converted into a business account, which has it's pitfalls. So long as you're genuinely only selling personal stuff, it's no problem.

    As above, you only have to 'look' like a business to risk ebay expecting you to forcibly upgrade
