Did you mean: 

Extremely confused and frustrated.

 

I recently opened  starter store. But I've been selling on and off for a few years, with no store.

 

My selling limit is:  You can sell up to 120 items or $15,000.00 per month, whichever comes first.

 

Which is a bit ridiculous. As If I sell 120 items, it will total way below $15,000. So why won't the item number be raised?

 

In addition, I get 250 free listings  a month. But can only sell 120 of them??? What happens if I'm lucky enough to sell 120. My store gets put on hold by eBay. As I've reached my selling limit of 120 items?

 

And probably the most confusing. I only have 44 items left in August. Even though I haven't sold one item in August yet.

 
44 items remaining in August .. 0 sold and 76 active.
Or
$12,643.22 remaining in August.00.00 sold and $2,356.78 active
 
How can I only have 44 items left, when my limit is 120 a month. And I haven't sold anything this month. August.
 
And again. I can list 250 for free, but only sell 120 of them?
 
How confusing is all of this!!!

Re: Extremely confused and frustrated.

Did you request to list more?

Re: Extremely confused and frustrated.

I believe the 120 items or $15,000 limit was set previously and was your selling limit from the last time you were active on eBay.

 

Recently, eBay announced additional zero insertion fee listings that are added to each subscription including non-store subscribers.

 

Since you recently subscribed to a starter store, you automatically have the 250 auction or fixed price listings but are limited to the 120 items/$15000 selling limit. I would suggest listing the 120 items, and requesting eBay to increase your selling limit.

 

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/listings/selling-limits?id=4107#increasing

 

In your example, you have 76 items active (not sold yet) so you are allowed to list 44 more items before you hit your limit of 120 items listed/sold.

 

The 76 active items total $2,356.78 leaving you $12,643.22 selling limit over the 44 items that you can list. For example, you can list only 44 items at a price of $287.34 before reaching the $15,000 selling limit.

 

When you are at the point where you have reached the limit, again, make sure to request to increase the selling limit.

 

At this time, who knows? eBay may increase your selling limit to 1000 items when you have 250 free listings. Then, you’ll be paying for insertion fees beyond the 250 free listings.

Re: Extremely confused and frustrated.

Just request more. They will give you massive number that makes even less sense.

Re: Extremely confused and frustrated.

It's a listing limit, not a selling limit.

How can I only have 44 items left, when my limit is 120 a month.

It's actually pretty simple. 76 + 44 = 120

Re: Extremely confused and frustrated.

The limit is based on how many you have listed, not how many you sold. You listed 76 items, and now you have 44 more listings available.
