Bullion is a heavily restricted category since it is a possibly high fraud category. The restrictions can be found here http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/sellinglimits.html if you meet all the requirements, just give ebay a call, they raise limits, and remove restrictions all the time if you meet the standard. If for some reason you dont meet the standard, you won't be able to sell bullion on ebay until you resolve the issues.
Category limits
How limits on certain categories work
For some sellers, we limit the number of items that can be listed in a calendar month in some categories. These limits may apply to your account if:
It's been less than 90 days since your first successful sale as an eBay seller.
You haven't sold multiple items in this category before
You haven't sold in this category in over a year
eBay Money Back Guarantee requests or PayPal Purchase Protection cases have been opened for more than 3% of your total transactions in the last year
You need to establish a positive selling history in the category you're listing in and show that you're able to meet the needs of your customers before you are permitted to list higher quantities. We may also require you to confirm your personal information.
Starting out small also gives you a chance to become familiar with eBay and to make sure you're following our selling practices policy.
Once you've been a seller for more than 90 days, confirmed your personal information, have sold multiple items in the category you want to list in, and have a proven track record of providing excellent customer service and following our
rules and policies, these specific category limits will be removed. Other limits may still apply. Since these specific category limits are automatically removed, you don't need to do anything else.
