Just a brief update on this for your information:
I have been in touch with eBay Customer support and the Motors Program customer support. Both of them indicated to me that by July 1, all eBay motors categories should have had the compatibility raised to 3000. However, I am still hitting the 1000 compatibility limit. The latest reply I received from them was this:
Thank you for checking in on this, this email and your last response has been routed directly to Merchant Support and is not being sent to the Motors Program Support anymore as the conversation had started with them. Another agent on our team in Merchant Support has reached out to the agents that you were originally working with to see about getting a resolution for you but has not heard from them as of yet. I have verified the issue that you are having by looking at the listing provided. I attempted to get the listing set up to accept 3,000 compatibility items instead of the 1,000 that it is allowing for this listing and I ran into the same 1,000 cap you were seeing. Going through our resources there should be the cap of 3,000 and not 1,0000. I know that you have been informed that this should change up to 3,000 but I could not find a time frame on that for you. I have CC’d the motors program support on this email so that they will be back on the thread and I am asking them if the compatibility chart can be taken up to 3,000 instead of the 1,000 cap. If this is not something that the motors support is able to do I would request a reply to this email to let us know so that we can go about filing a ticket on the issue to our tech team for the compatibility chart only allowing 1,000 instead of the 3,000 that it should. I do apologize for the inconvenience and I want to thank you for your patience throughout this matter. I am hopeful we will get a speedy reply from our motors program so that we can get the issue fixed or a ticket filed to our tech team as soon as possible. I hope you have a wonderful day and a great week of sales!
Thanks, Eric J. eBay Merchant Support
