How to list a $1200 item
Kindly provide the link (clickable url) that appears during the sign up process that explains the limitations on listings (such as $500 cap).
Is this even possible - I created a draft listing for the item I'm selling - am I just wasting my time?

I don't know about the link you made reference to, but here's a link to the Help article on Selling Limits: https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/selling-limits?id=4107

OPAug 13, 2026 at 2:10 PMHello, thank you for the link. The document does not specify a $500 limit. I feel like I have been misled.

Are you actually located in the US or another country? If you are in another country let me know so I can tell you the correct way to set up your account or you won't be able to receive payouts.

MentorAug 13, 2026 at 7:11 PM@wh_133823 You will need to list a lower priced item to start with as my fellow Mentor's have stated.
