Selling limit of $10 - HOW TO INCREASE

[gjrou]

I have not sold an item in 5 years.  I am try to sell a $200 item and it says I have a $10 limit.  I tried to increase it, gave my banking info (you hit the account with a .01 debit and credit) and all I get is that I need to sell $10 items.  I am not a big time "SELLER".  I may sell 2 or 3 things a month and their value will never be $10.  I am not going to go through all this trouble to sell a $10 item.  How do I open my account so I can see this item?

This is the reason for the $10 limit:

eBay has started reducing the limit on dormant seller accounts to $10 to prevent hackers from listing expensive items.

You will need to contact eBay customer service to see if they will manually increase your limits based on your past sales history IF you have added the checking account information correctly.  They just need to know that it's you coming back to use your account.

You will need to contact eBay customer service for assistance from number #5 below.

Sometimes the problem is the checking account information was not set up correctly.

eBay won't tell what doesn't match for security reasons, this might be your problem.

1. Make sure that the ACH routing number is the correct one to use for deposits to your checking account.  Sometimes banks have different ones for this type of deposit.

2 .The bank account must be a brick and mortar checking account, not a virtual one.

3. Your registered name and address on your eBay account must match your checking account and government ID exactly. You can not use a PO box for your registration but you can use it for your ship from and to addresses.

I had to add my middle name to my eBay account.

John B Doe is not the same as John Brian Doe.
