Not sure tbh, however, I was selling a pair of Vans and Adidas trainers, the vans sold but the adidas didn't. I went to relist and was told in no uncertain terms that I had reached my limit for selling branded goods WTAF!!! Cheers ebay you fuckers! Off to Gumtree (Hi Ho Hi Ho) grin

Befuzzled, is it designer items you are trying to sell? These items seem to be limited to 3 per 30 days for some reason. If you being limited to 3 items in total it may be something to do with your Detailed Seller Ratings.

I had this just before christmas - sold load of stuff and then someone contacted as they'd missed the bidding and asked if I'd relist something. Tried to do so but it wouldn't let me.

In fact I'm listing stuff now so I called ebay to ask what my limit was (as it's not stated) and why it was brought in as it is new. The lady put me on hold and then said I was limited to 17 items per month or a listing value of £xxx. They are making this up as they go along - I was so shocked as I had 17 items listed at the time also at the £xxx value - completely random!

I've asked for my 'limit' to be properly clarified and then increased. Their email response is that they'll answer if they have good news.

I was only asking as I have such a load of stuff that I'm going to have limits I'll take my custom elsewhere as it will months to get rid my items at 17 items per month.

Also I really hate the fact that when you sell it's a legally binding contract except when you get habitual non payers and you can't leave them negative feedback.
