What happened to new seller limits?

[kensgiftshop]

How can a new seller, about two weeks, list and sell:

50 New iPads
132 New iPhones

All at cheap prices and Ebay doesn't check them out.

They already have 7 negative feedback.

Buyers are not reporting the seller. That would be my guess.

Possibly new account from a member/account that is already approved/old etc.??

If you've sold $50,000 in Hammers a year for 3 years and have approval for 100,000 items- then open 'another account' so you can sell Shoes- that account would be 'new' but you, the $50k 3 year seller, are not??

Feedback is not used by eBay to assess member accounts.

Those FB were left by customers who did NOT open Claims and get their money refunded.

However, a lot of negs often means that the seller also has a lot of Claims, which eBay does pay attention to.

But Claims and their settlement are private not public information.

As an aside, there may be a correlation between those who think they can buy an iPad for under $100 and those who are unable to work out how to use the Money Back Guarantee.

Hopefully they all open cases and get refunded.

No, this is just a slimy person hoping to make some easy money.

Selling a $1000 iPhone, for $150 to $180.
