Hiya, I closed my Ebay acc about three years ago, but have now opened another...

 

Can anyone tell me why and when they started the 10 items or £650 a month ( whichever comes first) rule??? Not that I'm going to be doing that amount, but just being nosy...:)

 

Thanks guys...:)

From memory the limits started 5-6 years ago or more for newish accounts. It stopped the thieves who would open an account, list thousands of things they didn't have at what seemed like really great prices, sell a bunch, get paid, and vanish before the non-receipt complaints started.

 

If you list £500 rods for £75 or £1000 cameras for £120 there are always plenty of suckers who will buy them even from a seller with no sales feedback.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.
