Seller restricted because I have sold Too Much

Amazingly my Selling account has been restricted to a limited amount of listing because I SOLD TOO MUCH, in the last month! I have been in business 42 years with a great nationwide reputation! I have been an Ebay member for 20 plus years & have sold $1.48 million dollars on Ebay. That's 30,000 transactions with a 100 % feedback rating. I don't take kindly to some Arbitrary Algorythem telling me how to ruin my business. I am HONEST, & I AM TRYING TO PURSUE MY RIGHT TO LIFE, LIBERITY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! I  can only do this thru running my business the correct way! They want to put me out of business with meaningless, careless, unthinking laws that are arbitrary. I am now looking at other ways to conduct Nationwide business! I hope you are stockholders in Ebay, they are running off sellers in droves, & hide behind Robots instead of talking to me on a phone! Sincerely, Jim @ KANTOKEN

Re: Seller restricted because I have sold Too Much

Every seller on eBay has a listing/selling limit.  I have had mine increased several times as my business has grown.

 

Since you are a longtime seller with a great track record - I see no reason why your account would be restricted.  You seem to blame it on some arbitrary algorithm - just how did you determine  that there is such an algorithm??

@kantoken 

 

If you're talking about your listing limits, we all have them.

 

 

 

 

Have a great day.

Re: Seller restricted because I have sold Too Much

Have you tried requesting a limit increase?

Usually you can do at least one online, no need to even call.

Re: Seller restricted because I have sold Too Much

Every single person on this site has a selling limit. If you've reached yours, reach out and talk to a representative. You can do this online via chat that they have now. Explain to them what you told us, about needing to sell your millions, and needing more room to do so. They'll ask about your items, where you get them, how you get them, etc. and if it all seems legit, 90 times out of 100 they'll give you what you want and increase your limit if you ask nicely.

Sellers based in China don't seem to have any of those problems!

Re: Seller restricted because I have sold Too Much

You have an excellent selling record and for the fee revenue you generate for ebay  then ebay is incredibly imbecilic and shortsighted to throttle you. Maybe the AI has hijacked common sense?

 

Instead of restricting you, ebay should be lauding you, and rewarding you.

Looking at your cool items, I feel you are the kind of seller that helped to build ebay.

 

It's too bad, I can understand why you are upset.

Can you petition for higher limits?

 

Keep selling!

Re: Seller restricted because I have sold Too Much

It appears you sell coins. They probably halted you for jam packing the servers with coin pages dedicated to three types of people of the 1200. Id tell you how to fix all your ebay problems, but since you're already making millions. Apparently you just enjoy making money versus running a business. Congratulations on your success glad you're in the millions. If anything you could pass on wisdom to different sectors of business.
