Selling limit restrictions

[hayward130453]

Is Ebay in touch with reality? I got marked down last month (and my seller platform restricted) as an item being listed both on ebay and elsewhere got sold elsewhere and before I could take it down off ebay, someone bought it. I therefore apologised to the buyer and marked it out of stock. I am prevented from listing for sale more than £4000's worth of goods-despite having listings for more that £26,000 live currently and restricted to 150 items when I have 169 live. So the reality is when these listings expire a) I cannot relist until one or both of these parameters are reached and b) in order to improve my performance I have to sell and ship items. It is therefore perverse to restrict selling do you not agree?

You should not list items elsewhere while you have them listed on eBay. 

You had a disappointed buyer and eBay does not like disappointed buyers and they may restrict a seller for this. You also received a defect for not completing the transaction.

That's the way it works on eBay so you need to be careful in the future.

That is the chance you take when you have only 1 item and list it on multiple sites at once.

I have already sold  items somewhere else and have the same buyer buy another one here on ebay a few seconds later because they wanted or needed more than one, luckily I had extras just in case of multiple sales of the same item on different sites at the same time.

Remember if you have 1 item, list it on 1 site only at a time.

I suspect that there is more than just one OOS issue with the Op

On the .com site it takes more than one out of stock defect for a seller to face the consequences you're experiencing. I don't know if the policies on .co.uk are different. You're on the .com discussion boards. You'll have to review the .co.uk policy pages and can probably get more site-specific help if you post on the .co.uk discussion boards.
