I wasn't sure where to ask this so I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I am selling figures on eBay (this isn't a plug but a legit question) and as a beginner I have a monthly selling limit of 10 items. Is there any way around this besides calling and begging to have it raised? Can you have 2 accounts linked to the same email/PayPal? I have a lot of stuff I'm trying to get off my hands, so this limit is way too restricting. Any experienced eBayers input would be appreciated.

as far as I know, no. if youre looking to make money quick you could put up the most valuable items first?

Nope... No way around it other than patience. It's just because you're a newbie to the selling racket. They want to make sure you're legit before letting you loose is all. Be patient and be a good seller and the limit will be lifted soon.
And just a little tip about wrestling figures when you're selling... You might want to consider selling common ones that aren't work much in lots, particularly if they're not in original boxes. You'll typically get more profit out of common ones by selling in groups of three of four loose figures (which fit perfectly in a Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope once bubbled wrapped) than you would parting them out individually. Definitely stick to individual sales for anything rare or hard to find though.

I was a afraid that'd be the case. Thanks for the responses. I'm have a lot of figures MOC from several years ago that have been in the attic for a long time. I moved recently and came across them and wanted to unload a bunch. Will they raise automatically after a certain period of good feedback? Or do I still have to do the whole application deal? I appreciate the help guys.

I believe eBay will automatically up your limit after 90 days as a seller (assuming you don't wig out on a buyer and not send an item or something). Once you reach your 10 item limit (of which I think only sold items count, so if you list ten items in a month, but only six sell, you can relist four) you should probably get an e-mail about requesting an increase in your selling limits. Of course, you can certainly just call them and ask for an increase too. They'll ask you questions and might up your limit. Might not, but it could be worth a shot. Worst that can happen is they say no.
One thing I can say for sure... Do NOT try to get around the selling limits with any sort of backdoor tricks or tips you might read online. Most of those are against eBay's policies and are a great way to get yourself banned from selling for anywhere from a day to forever. If you call to request an increase in your selling limits and eBay denies you, just deal with the limit until they increase it after so much time. It's frustrating as a new seller, that's for sure, but it's kind of become a necessary move on eBay's part (from a business standpoint) with all the deadbeat sellers they've had in recent years.

Yes there is a way, if you have a lot to sell register as a business seller

Add a Buy it Now option to your listings. That way if people really want to buy your stuff you'll be able to post new items as soon as the old items sell. I also sell stuff on ebay. I can list more than 10 items but I dont sell much so 10 is just a nice goal but prob not a reality.
