selling limits

Hello. Just looking for a little info. Thanks in advance for any response whether it be what I want to hear or not.

As a seller- Do all of eBay's fees AND shipping count towards your selling limit? Also at the beginning of the month if you have any unsold items that are still listed will those count towards your monthly limit or would you need to go in and un-list all those items to be able to rollover with that fresh limit number and if so what do i select as reason for ending the listing? And by ending any of those will that negatively affect any of my other selling performance numbers or will that cost any additional fees. I have been selling for little over a year, selling off pieces of a lifelong collection. I have come to the realization I like selling on here just as much as I enjoyed the collecting and don't want to mess up the privilege of being able to use eBay's platform to do this.

Thanks for your time...very much.

Sincerely,

Rachel

"Do all of eBay's fees AND shipping count towards your selling limit"

No. Your selling limit is calculated from the asking price of all the listings that you have started that month, plus any older good-til-canceled listings that have renewed that month. Shipping cost is not included, and eBay fees are not deducted.

"Also at the beginning of the month if you have any unsold items that are still listed will those count towards your monthly limit"

Not at the beginning of the month, no. But any fixed price items, which are good-til-canceled, they will be counted towards your selling limit when they are renewed, which is on the same day of the month as they were originally started on.

"would you need to go in and un-list all those items to be able to rollover with that fresh limit number and if so what do i select as reason for ending the listing"

This is not recommended, unless you don't want to sell those items any more, or you want to take down slow-selling items for a while, and try again later (maybe seasonal items, for example). Good-til-canceled listings retain their view history and can rank better in off-eBay searches. Some buyers can get annoyed if items are ended and then immediately relisted, because they want to see new items that are *really* new, not rehashed items that they have already seen.

"And by ending any of those will that negatively affect any of my other selling performance numbers or will that cost any additional fees"

Ending an fixed-price listing before it is sold does not have any impact on selling performance, and doesn't cost any fees.
With an auction-format listing, if you cancel bids before you end an auction that would have sold, then eBay will charge the FVF on the amount that it would have sold for.

You can always ask for an increase in your selling limits. If they won't do it right away, you can ask again in a month. Also, you should know that opening a store (and paying a subscription fee each month) will not increase your selling limits, just how many free-insertion-fee listings you get.

Buy it now listings roll over the next month if unsold and when they do they are included in your monthly limit.

I can't answer the question about fees and sales limits. Never had to worry about that.
