Using Webinterpret

I have a Canadian Based eBay account.

99% of my sales are off-shore: USA, Europe and Asia.

I looked to Webinterpret to be a solution to increasing my sales.

 

They would duplicate my listings an all the eBay Platforms around the world and provide translation for each listing that was posted in a foreign language eBay site.

 

I sell European car parts and this would be a direct pipeline to the markets in Europe and the Southern US where most of the survivor cars who need my parts are.

 

The problem is eBay.

 

After a year I finally managed to get my accounts selling limits to $1 Million.

This was just enough for me to list all the parts I had ready to go on-Line.

Data, pricing, interchange, shipping and images.

 

At this time I heard about Webinterpret and began listing items - my sales immediately jumped.

Inquiries poured in from around the world.

 

The issue was that every item I listed on any other country's eBay platform counted against my home country seller limits. This greatly restricted what I could re-list using Webinterpret.

 

So, If I had $1million in inventory and wanted to list on four different countries eBay sites:

UK, USA, France, Germany

I needed to increase my seller limits by another  $4million and $1million more for any other additional country I wanted to add.

 

Every time I spoke to eBay - they would refuse to raise my seller limits by anymore than their algorithm would allow. Currently $240k. and then only once every thirty days. 

Thus the next problem. Within that 30 days I would list another $200K worth of merchandise again crowding out what could be listed on Webinterpret.

 

So, the choice became clear. reduce my overall listings by 75% and try to guess what exact car parts of mine the people would need and duplicate those listings world wide using webinterpret or continue to list all my items and hope the world would still find me on my one Canada eBay site.

 

It became abundantly clear that i need both. I need to list all my items - because i do not have a crystal ball; and I need them listed in other languages on these foreign eBay sites.

 

So, how do I convince eBay to give me the listing allowance increase from 1 million to at least 4 million or 5 million. I would settle for just going from 1 million to 2 million to enter the US market and prove the concept.

 

Who at eBay do i talk to. The phone is useless and CHAT is useless - all they do is transfer you around and you get nowhere and a lot of the same speeches about what they are limited in doing.

 

Anyone have any scissors to cut through the eBay red tape? And save them from themselves.
