$500 sell cap
I am trying list an item for around $1500 (laptop). I don't sell on eBay much (its been years) - lots of buying... However it says you no longer can list items over $500 unless you are a volume seller and creep your way higher. I don't want to make a business out of this, just a one off sale. . When did this change? What are my options? Swappa or other services?

Mentor1 month ago · Edited@drmodem586 You will first need to list a lower priced item such a DVD or book that you have laying around. This will allow you to set up a seller account. However your limit may still be $500, starting limits do vary. Adding a credit card as a back up payment method for selling costs may help.
All buyers payments are managed by eBay and sent to your linked checking account. eBay doesn't offer the debit card payout option at first.
You need to create your first listing directly on eBay to get your seller account set up.
Complete these steps in this order.
a) Draft a listing on eBay, click submit or "list it". The system should guide you through setup. If not, follow these steps:
b) Verify/update/complete your Profile Registration: Name, address, phone number, identity information (profile) on your eBay Account: https://accountsettings.ebay.com/profile
-- Use your Street Address, even if you don’t get mail there.
-- Make sure to use your full legal name and that it matches your bank account and government ID ( drivers license etc)
c) And add a Checking Account ( it must be a brick and mortar checking account) and Credit/Debit Card: https://ppcapp.ebay.com/myppc/wallet/list
You will need to provide a SS# or ITIN to receive your payouts.
Please check to see if you have BOTH a Checking account marked for "Used for payouts" and a credit/debit card.
One of these (bank account or card) needs to be marked for "Preferred for selling costs" I use a credit card for selling costs so that refunds and other fees don't come from my checking account.

Ebay views returning Sellers the same as new Sellers. They will need to verify your SSN and checking account details. That's to protect you and the Buyers. This is especially true when the item is in a high risk category and is over $1000.

OP1 month agoThat's fine. However, how do I initiate that process?
