This is something new and not the normal new/ returning seller limit
Ebay has started reducing the limit on dormant seller accounts to $10 to prevent hackers from listing expensive items.
The first thing to check is to make sure that the credit card for your automatic payment method is not expired.

If the request selling limits increase is not working then contact CS to see if they will manually increase your limits based on your past sales history.
I recommend social media.
Contact customer service by selecting a contact method from the bottom of a help page, chat or call back are available for most topics :
https://www.ebay.com/help/home
Or you can also contact customer service by sending a private message on social media. You leave a message and an eBay employee will get back to you as soon as possible. To speed things up you can leave your registered account information in the PRIVATE message: Full name, address, phone number, email address, user ID, and a brief explanation of your problem.
They may take a few days to get back to you but it's usually sooner.

Actually they just started reducing returning seller limits to $10, which is new.
It used to be $500

If I were to leave for a year and come back eBay would consider me a new seller and impose limits so in those regards it is nothing new and is totally understandable.
@coastaltechsolution. The $10 limit is crazy low and a seller just can't sell enough to qualify for a limit increase.
With all of hacked account reports I see i understand why eBay did this though.

@fashunu4eeuh. Your right. My bad i saw 10 and thought $10. Oops

"crazy low" is being kind. Utterly useless is a better fit.
Exactly. Utterly useless. Over the past 6 months a friend of mine a longtime seller who started eBay with me back in '97 and who never stopped buying but hadn't listed since 2016 decided to sell off some of his collectables since he was retiring. and basically get back in the game. The max $10 stopped him cold, as none of the 100's of personal collectables he wanted to liquidate was anywhere near that low of a price. After spending a month finding and listing under $10 **bleep** he had no interest in just to get his 4 figure 100% feedback account back to full selling mode he quit on it and took a booth in a local group antique shop.
He says he don't hold a grudge but his wife says he's been "cured" of his eBay buying habit of 23 years LOL
Tyler did say that the returning sellers that have low limits should contact CS to request an increase based on their past selling history. I know that contacting CS is a bit tricky right now but social media has helped others with this issue have their limits increased.
