Has anyone ever received this kind of letter from ebay??(it's not spoof)

Unreal. You do a good job but they limit you because you some day might do a bad job but thieves list fake cards and forged autographs with no one at Ebay seeming to care.

The BS from eBay that honks my hooter (thank you John Cusack) is where they can charge a fee based on the shipping cost of an item sold.

They say I can get around this charge by offering Free Shipping. Well, to do that with some of my items, I would have to start the auction at a price that very few, if any, buyers would want to pay. The other option would be to sell for a low price and THEN get messed over with free shipping to someplace far away or overseas and have the shipping cost be more than what the item sold for to begin with.

As far as what the OP was talking about. I have been selling on eBay since 1999 and I have a limit of 50 free listings per month. Over that amount and I get charged listing fees.

I went to list a card not long ago and I was not allowed. I am already signed up for their paypal automatic fee payments, but now I need a credit card for them to be able to take money in case of a claim. I have 100% feedback and 1 claim in 12 years and they sided with the buyer over me even though I was being truthful and that person was lying. I seldom use ebay to sell on I get tired of them telling me how to handle my business.

My account was limited last year...after 9 or 10 years on ebay with no negatives or any problems whatsoever...they limited me to listing 300 auctions per month or $2,000...I've since had that ceiling raised to 2,000 auctions or $20,000 per month. It's pretty easy to do...just call them and ask them to raise the limits..they'll ask you why (in my case I like to list 100s of postcards a day at low starting bids) and then in a few minutes your limits will be raised.

I do not like these new rules that will go in place in May though that all items sold will have to have tracking info uploaded within 24 hours of the item being sold in order to keep your top seller status. The rule about 14 day returns means nothing anyway as paypal has had a 30 day no questions asked return policy forever now.

You can keep your top seller status, but you will lose your discount.

I've already resigned myself to losing the discount. I'm not chasing that carrot anymore.

I prefer the phrase 'chaps my hide."

It's as if Ebay has farmed its management out to some overreaching federal government regulatory commission.
