eBay is pranking sellers now?

[lud-4367]

Recieved an email (for another account) from ebay saying, 

Your selling limits on eBay have increased

I clicked a link, and it says, 

Currently, you've listed or sold 276 items of your 5,000,000 monthly limit. You can list or sell up to C $4,982,100.74 more to reach your C $5,000,000.00 monthly limit.

Request a limit increase

I then clicked a link again, and it says, 

Unfortunately, you're not currently eligible for a selling limit increase.

WTH is this? 😂

I got the message but did not bother clicking, assuming that if there was an increase it would show in my account info.  Not really relevant for me anyway, I only use a fraction of the current limit.  

Edit:

Just checked my account and I now have a 5,000,000,000 monthly listing limit and $5M CDN, which is way more than I had.  Perhaps when you clicked on the increase request, it was to go past that amount.  Did you have the 5 million limit before?

Got the email and in Seller Hub states:

392 listed and sold / 5M limit on quantity of items

C $5M more

But I totally ignore, as at most I wouldn't/couldn't list more than 1000 items, as I am downsizing/donating locally and could care less what quantity I can or cannot list on eBay...

I feel bad for you people with your paltry $% Million limits!

eBay gave me a bump to 10 Million Dollars and 10 Million Items!

On my old pre published limits accounts still do not show any limits and the Selling Limit pane of the Hub isn't even available to view on those accounts.

Old account Hub without limits option (missing Limits and Feature Announcements)

Newer account (2012) Hub with Limits and  bonus Feature Announmcements

The "old" accounts do have limits but in order to see them you have to call eBay and ask them to make them viewable.

I have the same, but not sure if it's changed today or not since I never pay attention to it. When I got the email from ebay, I somehow thought they were increasing the free listings on my account, but  no change. Whatever they are doing with this promotion is just plain nothing.

 ... Increasing the free listings 🤣😂😅   That would have been nice!

Seems like they are basically getting rid of sales limits for good sellers. Guess they figure we passed thier test haha $10million here I come! lol

 I wonder what do you sell, if having a 5.000.000 monthly limit, you still requested a limit increase? 😅
