I read the article and I read the post it refers to.
I don't see ANY connection between the hidden limits and throttled sales. The limits as described in the eBay post are all common in almost any type of business situation where credit is extended and/or responsibility for cleaning up a mess fall elsewhere than with the one who created the mess.
When I was in the wholesale business every account had a max credit limit and only if a few cases did the customers know what that limit was until they hit it. Even then an internal review might increase the limit so that the costomer would still not know they had hit their limit. I certainly never left it up to the sales or shipping departments is a customer was a good credit risk or not.
