Questions &Answers
Q: My account has been limited on eBay and PayPal. How can I open another Paypal account?
A: First of all, you need to have any issues with both eBay and PayPal resolved. I do not suggest that you continue to sell without resolution. If you have tried to resolve all issue or have resolved them and they will not reinstate your account. They only way for you to have another eBay and PayPal account would be to ask someone you know to open the account for you. Open the PayPal account as a business. Keep in mind that PayPal will again and can limit your account due to the lack of history. Ultimately, your goal should be to have sold on eBay for at least 6 months with a good track record to avoid lengthy limitations. Also, look into getting your own Merchant Account and opening and account with
Q: Sales are slow on eBay, where can I list my items that would provide the same traffic as eBay?
A: Amazon. From my sales at Amazon and others that I know, Amazon is the alternative marketplace to eBay. They are a bit more expensive, payments are processed through them and the listings system is not like eBay. However, they provide you with Customer Service support, high traffic and many tools to help you analyze your competition.
Q: How can I get images to appear larger on my listings?
A: You can accomplish this several ways. On eBay you can pay a fee for a larger image to appear during search. For larger images inside your template you can insert the HTML code from photobucket or where it is you host the images. You can indicate to link on the image for Larger or you can simply just insert the image at 600×600 pxls.
Example: This image is small than 300 pxls

Q: My account with eBay was suspended. The email said it was found to be related with another suspended user……………….?
A: This has happened to me in the past. I worked for a large volume seller that sold on eBay. One of the employees’ there also had her own account selling on eBay. She apparently logged in from the companies computers to check her emails, auctions and PayPal account. When she started having problems in her personal life, so did her eBay account. Eventually, eBay suspended her account. A few days later my employers account was suspended.
The reason offered was the employees account was delinquent and had several complaints for Non Shipment.
First, ask eBay for the information of whom they are associating you account with. Find out who has used your computer or ISP to log into their accounts. You best bet, is to contact your Account Manager with eBay and ask for help.
From now on, once this is resolved. Do not allow anyone to log in using your Computer or Internet. If you have employees; it would be best to post it on the wall as a reminder and have them agree in the Employment Agreement.

I have had several emails saying that they are (emails) are from eBay, and that they are customer complaints. I am not doing anything with ebay not selling or buying so I’m wondering why am I getting emails saying a customer has a complaint. Yes it is or some of them are marked as “spam” but some are not. Is it all just a bunch of nothing to worry about? I have always ignored them anyway, but I’ve always wondered why I’m getting these emails? Thanks. JJ
@jj-MomsCashBlog – You should not have to worry about them. It would be a good idea to write to eBay directly and ask about any bidding activity on your account. There are times when hackers can get into your eBay account and bid or list causing you issues and headaches .
