Hey guys as I'm sure you all knwo ebay has limits on accounts. The more volume you do and the better your feedback and DSR scores are the more you can sell per month not only in terms of dollar amounts but also in terms of number of items.
Even if your not doing a lot of volume now you never know when you come across a supply of something, sales grow and your wishing you had higher limits. Every month call up and raise your limit. They'll normally give you a 20% increase each month you call and you can call every 30 days. They will rasie number of items you can sell and dollar amount.
Another reason to do this. Sometimes people will reach out to you and want to buy your ebay account. It's techinically not allowed to sell ebay accounts though if its part of a business which anyone can form an llc real quick its allowed. People will pay upwards of 50k for established ebay accounts iwth high limits.
Just something to think about

Ok. Been ebaying for 10+ years. Don't know a thing about limits. Never heard of any. Please - a little more info.

If you've never reached your limit you don't need to be concerned about raising your limit. I've never reached my limit and I know guys who never did anything but keep on listing and they've never reached their either (one has 6K feedback, one has 11K feedback).
If it ain't broke don't....you know.

Basically you have an establshed account so you may aleady have high limits and most likely don't have any holds. This is probably more relevant for newer accounts.
I think alot of people probably say I'm not doing big volume, what's the point, but say you come start buying more units or maybe you come across a source for an item that sells, well, you dont want to be stuck limiting your sales just because you have low limits. Also it takes months to get your limit raised so why not start now.
Also, the other thing, sometimes competitors will offer to buy your account to take over the ebay market in your product category. If you have high limits this puts a bigger price tag on your account. It's not uncmmon for people to pay tens of thousands of dollars to purchase an ebay account.

I never reached my limit while selling stuff from storage auctions but I wound up basically falling into a good source of merchandise that sells well on ebay consistantly. I was running into problems where I couldn't selll as much as the demand was because my limits were too low. I now have a 3.5 million dollar limit and don't have that problem. Even though I will probably never hit these lmits I still continue to get them raised. Also an FYI for anyone doing big stuff on ebay. Once you do over 250k in a month they will often hold up to 20% of your money each month for chargebacks and disputes. If you have high limits they wont do this.
For most people you'll probably never hit these limits yet I thought the same thing and am now glad I have the lmits I do. It costs nothing and takes 2 minutes to make the phone call so my attitude is why not do it.
