eBay

Just starting out selling on ebay and how am I supposed to be able to increase my selling limits when I get no feedback at all. I spent a large amount of money with a vendor and no feedback. From now on I will not give feedback until I get feedback, only thing I can think of

Or just go with the flow and figure that you will not get feedback from every transaction. Leave it. Don't leave it. You are not buying feedback, you are not selling feedback .You are building a business.

I did not know selling limits are based on your feedback. Nothing else is.

You can ask for your limits to be increased every 30 days. However, feedback is not required, it is totally voluntary for sellers and buyers.

Limits are only increased based on your SALES, not on your feedback.

Yep. Another logic failure by eBay. It should be based on sales that have passed the 30-day mark without a dispute.

"We'll review your account every month and adjust the limits automatically based on your sales volume and the feedback you've received from buyers. Remember, your active and sold listings count toward your monthly limit. "

So your solution to a lack of feedback is to not give feedback? 🙂

That aside ...

IMHO a seller withholding feedback from a buyer will not encourage feedback, because buyers have very little incentive to give it or receive it.

In fact it may backfire on you and actually reduce the amount of feedback you get, because the buyer may have taken exactly the same stance as you ("I will not give feedback until I get feedback").

I've gotten in the habit lately as a seller of leaving feedback once I see it has been delivered. The item is fresh in the buyer's mind and that is the most likely time where reciprocal feedback has the highest chance of being left.
