    Default Invoice Limit.

    Please, could the present limit of 99 items on an invoice be removed? It causes a lot of problems on the few occasions that a buyer purchases more than 99 items. I have an example of this at the moment where a buyer has placed bids on well over 200 stamps. My SKU is quoted on issued invoices which makes finding the items purchased very easy. If I cannot send an invoice because of the limits I have to click on each item on the Sold page individually to find the SKU and identify the stamp sold.

    If the maximum items on an invoice cannot be increased, could the SKU be included on the Sold page in My eBid?

    As I list more stamps, I expect to have this problem, too.

    I seem to recall that the 99 limit is to comply with a PayPal restriction. There's a post by Gazza somewhere on forums detailing the reason (Sorry, not in the mood to search for it.).

    I wonder why we have to accept limits imposed by another organisation.

    Because that is the limit that paypal have set.... of cause if you want to send an invoice for a larger number of items then the answer is don't use paypal and find another payment method

    In which case the SKU suggestion would be helpful.

    Default Re: Invoice Limit.

    Hi I recently have had a few 99+ sales; I work around it by issuing multiple invoices, explain to the buyer not to pay the eBid invoices, then send a Paypal request for the total amount, using the eBid invoice numbers as a reference. Once the buyer has paid me direct, I mark the invoices as payment sent, using the Paypal reference number. This way I can get paid in one go, print off the invoices to use as a reference, and as an added bonus, Paypal doesn't get to know exactly what has been purchased, so embargoed country stamps can be included with no hassle from Paypal (been there, never again!)
    Hope that helps

    Regards John
