Multiple Accounts and Free Insertion Fees

[daveroo]

I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway.

I've got 3 eBay accounts, all over 10 years old.

I've started selling again and I noticed that each account has been given 50 auction listings free of Insertion Fees.

Does that mean I've got 150 or just 50 total?

In other words eBay knows I've got 3 related accounts and will only allow a total of 50 listings between them.

150

150 as far as I know

It's 150 listings, 50 on each account.

Don't be surprised if you can't list that many immediately.

EBay has restrictions on new and 'occasional' sellers on the number and value of the items you can list.

For example if you were restricted to ten items or $500, you could list ten $50 items or one $500 item or two $250 items.

And your customer's cleared payment will be Held against your customer service for up to 21 days. So buy your shipping label from the Held funds, get the small discount on the cost, and ship as soon as possible.

*a good way to be sure the payment has cleared.

When you feel confident, you can turn those 150 FREE listings into 300.

List on eBay Canada and get another 50 FREE listings on each account.

You will have to ship to Canada. You will have to use Flat Rate shipping. You will have to list in Canadian dollars.

But your listings will show in US dollars on dotCOM, most importantly in Search.

Thanks for all the replies.

I thought I'd be limited to a total of 50 no matter how I parceled them out.

Actually I have 50 ready to go but now I can continue listing up to 150 by spreading them out among the accounts.
