it seems like ebay flags new ebayers if they list too many items in a small period of time. Does anyone know what this magical number is?

Wow, that's a new one by me. Never even heard of that. If anybody knows, I'm curious to hear the answer for fyi.
I did some searching around for you.
I KNOW this answer, it's somewhere in my gray matter...just can't find it. <smile>
I'm continuing to search..but yes, I do remember where eBay instituted what you're asking. I wonder if they revoked the terms?
Peace,
Donna

Y' know, when I read the opening post the other day, I'd never heard of such a thing. But yesterday I read something similar (but with no real details) on the eBay forums -- only they were referring to it happening with PayPal...
I have friends who had ran into this problem multiple times. They just havent figured out the magic number yet. This would be great info to know, especially people that are considering making ebay their full time job.
I asked eBay LIVE and here's the copy and paste with the link.
I hope the below transcript helps!
I'm outta here, waffles are cooking & I'm hungry!

Take care, Donna

Boy, that seems like something eBay Live help could at least look up somewhat quickly...
Maybe there isn't a magic number. Maybe it's totally dependent on varying factors.
bmwsinc, if you don't get an answer, you might try posting over on the eBay forums. I've gotten a lot of good info over there myself.
