Can't sell an item for over 500$?

[f0rce1001]

Hi,

I have an account for a while and I used it only to buy a few things from ebay. My girlfriend bought me a watch yesterday as a present, but what she didn't know that I already bought myself one. So I was wondering can I sell it through ebay? I tried to do so, but it says I have a 500$ selling limit (as I haven't sold anything yet). Now my watch is a Swiss automatic chronograph with ETA 7750 Valjoux and brand new so basically it costs more than 500$. I'm not a shop or something. Just wanted to get rid of my extra watch...

I don't know if that matters but my account is created in the US ebay website (as per customer service UK) when I lived there for a while, then I moved to Europe and would like to post my selling offer in the UK ebay or German because of the easier postage.

Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.
