Due to helping a mate of mine out, I ended up with 50 genuine fragrances which I thought I'd stick on fleabay. All the perfumes are genuine, and I'm a genuine seller. However, when I list on ebay I can only list ten items before it tells me this

Important message
Thank you for choosing to sell on eBay.

To help protect both buyers and sellers, we may place limits on sellers' accounts. For example, we may restrict how many times a seller can list certain items within a 30-day period.

You've reached the limit for the type of item you're trying to list, so you can't list any more of these for 30 days. However, you may still list other kinds of items. These restrictions apply to all sellers, so please don't feel that we're singling you out.

If your history of selling these items has been consistently positive, we might be able to raise your limit. If you believe that you would qualify, please review our selling limits page for more information.
Now I don't mind them doing something about the dodgy listing, but WTF - I don't get this and how it stops dodgy sellers? So now they don't want you to list things!

Just do 2 trips of 25 to the post office then, it'll be easier for you to deal with surely.

Unless you've got time to pack and address 50 in one hit.

How many duplicates are there in your 50? i.e. are there ten bottles each of 5 different fragances?

Couldn't you then do one of those sales which has a large number of identical items contained within it?

are you placing 50 ads or 1 ad, with a quantity available as 50?

i did not know they were limiting the quantity you have in one ad, but was aware of multiple ads

if your listing each one then dont, place 1 advert and list 50 stock

There's mixtures....plenty of singles with some multiples.
I am put on the singles first, I can't advertise the multiples for another month.
