I am still in the processing of creating my pay pal and have yet to post anything. I heard there is a starter limit of 10 items a month increasing every month. I am just wondering if that is accurate or if there are any different regulations like this. thanks!

If you want a successful selling experience on ebay, it is important to start as a buyer.
This achieves two things: it gives you greater experience learning how ebay works and exposure to where it doesn't.
And with a higher feedback count than zero, you will instil greater confidence in your shoppers, and help to amor against unethical types who may be seeking to exploit your newness here.
I had a feedback of 177 merely from buying before I listed my first item and I still had a lot to learn. If you are already an active buyer and want a separate account from which to sell, us the new one to start selling and the existing one to buy with from here on.
Good luck with your new venture, and come back whenever you need help.

Yes.
As both a Buyer and a Seller Protection, newbies are restricted in price and value of their listings.
It is best to start by buying to build your feedback-- a measure of trustworthiness for many buyers.
With 10 or so transactions as a buyer, you will also have a good idea of how the site really works. And what selling techniques are useful and which are poison.
When you do start selling, list items you can lose money on.
Because you will make mistakes.
- You should not ship until you are paid.
- You are paid when the customer's payment clears, but Paypal will Hold the money for 21 days
- You have to ship even if you miscalculated the shipping.
Shipping is hard.
Learn how to ship on stuff you don't have a big financial or emotional investment in.
