one time seller

[rockvick68]

I am a one time seller of an expensive office desk/hutch system worth approximately $1,500 (new $6,000). Would sell for $700 - $800 but Ebay won't let me ask more than $500 per month. I guess you have to be a regular retail or wholesaler to sell on Ebay.

No you don’t. You just have to sell a few smaller things to establish yourself.

[mrdutch1001]

You have not yet established yourself as a seller on eBay= eBay has listing limits/ restrictions/payment holds applicable to all new sellers.

Shipping for that  could be expensive.  Have you tried to sell it locally?

[rockvick68]

Yes, I've got it listed as pickup, so it will be local.

I understand. Ebay just isn't the way to go for large, one time sells like this. I used Craigs List before, but there were scam artist run amuck on that.

That's what eBay's restrictions , on buyers and sellers, are meant to prevent.

For example, the Managed Payments system may block scammers who have been setting up new accounts willy-nilly or hijacking abandoned ones.

And the QR code service for Local Pickup protects buyers from claims that they have not paid.
