Understanding eBay selling limits. eBay seller limits are one of the
most important factors on our drop shipping business. Because the more limits that we have,
the more products we can sell and the more profit we can make at the end of the month. A lot of
service providers are charging people to increase their eBay seller limits,
which is another reason why I wanted to make this video for you guys. So you can do it for yourself,
but most importantly, understand how they work and what you need to do to increase them.
All of that in this video, so stay tuned, watch this quick intro, and let's begin.
How to increase your eBay selling limits. Now, I want to remind you guys that a lot
of service providers are taking money for these things that you are about to learn.
So learn, implement, and enjoy. The first method to increase your eBay
Selling limits is the automatic method, which means you're selling well on eBay. You're close
to your limits. eBay has algorithms to see these things and they will simply give you
an automatic limit increase. This is the most recommended method to go about when it comes to
increasing your eBay seller limits. This is the most ideal place that you'll want to be because
once you'll start getting the automatic limit increases, you know that you are doing a good
job selling on eBay. You're shipping out your products on time. You're taking care
of your customer's requests and everything is working well. So how will you know if you got an
automatic limit increase? Well, you will simply get an email from eBay that will look like this.
The topic will be now you can list even more, and the email will look like this. Why wait
list more now, hi Liran or whatever your name is Congratulations, you've been doing a great job
selling on eBay and we've noticed, how would you like to list even more? Well, now you can, here's
how much you can list every month. Then you'll get a before and after on your items or on your
fixed dollar amount and it can be either or, and it can also be both of them at the same time. So
this is an example of one of the automatic limit increases that I got on one of my stores.
In this case, they increased my amount from $35,000 to $67,000, which is almost a times
two. And they can do the same thing for your items too. Only when I got this email, I probably
didn't take advantage of all of my items in their limits, but I was close with my dollar amount. So
they automatically increased that, and I got more than enough automatic item increases too.
So don't worry about that, but this is the best way to go about it. Be a good seller,
don't list items, just to list them, make sure that each item is optimized well. You will
make those sales and you will get the automatic limit increase. As long as you also take care
of your customers, do not forget about that. Now let's say you did not get an automatic limit
increase and you still want to increase your limits. So the next method, if you don't get it,
the automatic way is to request to list more. You have a link to that, and once you click on it,
your seller account will send eBay a request to get a seller limit increase,
and E-bay will use automatic algorithms to give you an answer on the spot. You'll get an answer,
either a positive one and what your limit increase is, or they'll tell you, sorry,
you're not eligible for a limit increase at this time. Please try again in one month.
Now, where can you find that exactly on the seller dashboard, where I showed you guys where it shows
you your current seller limits. So let me show you once again, eBay on the top right, My eBay, click
on selling. This will take you to your seller dashboard, then scroll down to your seller limits.
And here there is a link request to list more. So if I click on it, it's going to send eBay
the request, and then I ll get an answer right away if I will get the limit increase or not. The
advantage here is you don't have to call eBay. You don't have to try to open up any chats and
you will get an answer right away, right at the spot. The disadvantage is, if they tell you, no,
you won't be able to ask why not or to know what's wrong, or to get any other type of information.
The only thing that you'll be able to do is wait another month to be able to click that
button again, you can click it 10 times a day, but it won't matter. Once you click on it once,
you won't be able to send another request for the next 30 days, but that is another way to do
it. Another quick way to do it without having to talk to them on the phone and so forth. So request
to list more. You can find that on your seller dashboard, try that. But before you try, make
sure that you followed all of the conditions that we just talked about before, to make sure that you
are eligible for a seller limit increase. The next way to do it is to contact E-bay by
phone. I would mostly recommend this method and there's a good reason for that. So let's
go over the pros and cons of talking to them on the phone and then seeing where you can actually
get their phone number. So when you contact them by phone, the advantage here is they
usually don't record calls. And even if eBay does record them, it's very rare that they will
ever even listen to them. And that is different from sending them emails or clicking that request
to list more button, because they will always have that history and they will see it right away
when you try to increase your seller limits again. They can tell you, okay, we see that
you tried a couple of days ago or a couple of weeks ago, and you have to do it every month.
But if you get to them on phone, most chances are they won't record or listen to that call
or have it anywhere in their history logs that you called and try to get a limit increase.
So if you fall upon an eBay representative that's not helping you too much, you can simply hang up
the phone and try again. So this is the biggest advantage of talking to them on the phone, do not
exploit this method because, you know, once you start exploiting methods too much, then they find
out about it and they make that harder for us. But this is the most recommended method. If you tried
the request to list more and it didn't work, and you didn't get any automatic limit increase.
Now the way to contact them by phone and the next methods, which is contact them by email
or open up a chat with them. As you can see here, you can also get an email option, or you can even
chat with eBay. There is an advantage and disadvantage to each one and I will go over them.
But what you do need to know is the way to get there, the process is the same
and you can get either the email option or the phone option or the chat option,
and you'll be able to see exactly which option eBay s giving you depending on the subject, and
also depending on your location and the time zone. So let me show you an example of what I mean.
But first before that, I want to talk about the pros and cons. So you know about the pros and cons
of contacting them by phone. We talked about that. Now, the thing with the chat and the phone, I also
talked about that a couple of minutes ago is that these are going to be logged these attempts. So
if you will send eBay an email, or if you open up a live chat with them and you try to request
a seller limit increase, and for some reason they deny your limit increase,
you will not be able to try again for a month, which is different from the phone, which I just
explained. But again, the process to get there is the same. So let's see those options.
Let's head back to eBay. Okay. Now what I want to do on the main screen is on the top bar,
I'm going to click on help and contact. Then I'm going to scroll down a little bit,
browse, help articles. I'm going to click on selling and here, get to the exact problem
that you're having in our case, it's selling limits. So I'm going to click on that. Now,
the first thing that they're going to do is try to teach you a little bit about seller limits and how
it works. And you'll have the request, a limit increase button here too, just as we've had the
link on our seller dashboard that I just showed you guys. So we already try that option and let's
say it didn't work. So we're going to scroll down some more, again, request a limit increase, same
link that will take you to the same direction. Then we're just going to scroll down all the way.
And here we have a need more help section. So here is where eBay is going to give you a chance to
either chat with them, or they're going to give you their phone number with a one-time passcode
to be able to get to an agent quickly, or you can just use a regular eBay number. If you Google eBay
contact by phone, you'll get their phone number. And then you simply have to wait a little bit
longer to get an agent on the line. So that is another option to get them on the phone,
or we have the requests limit increase link, as we've seen over and over again, which in this
case, let's say it didn't help us. And then we also have the email us option, which in this case,
eBay decided to give me that option. So if I click on email us, it's going to open
up a form. And here you can write that you want a seller limit increase. You took good care of
your store and so forth of your customers and all of that, and your limits are almost full
and that you have a lot more products to sell. And as they can go ahead and check
your history. You've been selling really well, and you've been taking care of your customers,
and then it won't really be a problem. So I got the Email Us option in this case,
but if we choose different help subjects, we will get different buttons to contact them, different
forms of contact. So let's say for example, let's go with setting up your return policy. I'm going
to scroll down all the way. Here I got only an Email Us. Let's just try one more example,
just to show you guys that it really does work and that if you play around with it enough,
you will find different options. Again, it also depends on your time zone and your location.
So all of these things affect what help options you're going to see at the bottom. And as you
see here, I did get a chat with us option with only a one minute wait time. So that's actually
pretty great. And as I ve explained, it depends which problem you are choosing. So I think this
time it was selling fees. So it was selling fees. And this time I got to Chat with Us option.
So play with the different help options. You will get also the phone, you'll get the chat,
and you'll also be able to talk to them by sending them an email. But I do not
recommend chat and email. I do recommend doing it by phone if you did not get the automatic method
as I ve explained before. Again, guys, a lot of service
providers are taking a lot of money for the information that I'm giving you guys in this
video. I want you guys to have your own experience and to have the right knowledge for really being
able to scale your stores. Remember that eBay is a numbers game. The more listings that you'll have,
the more you'll sell, of course, product research and the products that you are selling will make
a big difference on what you will sell and what you won't. But there will always be a significant
difference between stores that have a hundred or a thousand listings to those that have 10 to 20,000
listings. It's a whole different ball game. So eBay selling limits is something that you
need to know how to increase and the bigger your limits, the more you'll be able to sell
and profit. Scale with AutoDS, it'll help automate your business. And again, guys,
