MY QUESTION IS:
i will photoshop the jelly picture with ingridient that is not precripsion drug, do any1 know what that may be? help will be revarded and much apriciate

It may not be a prescription medication, but the real issue is that Ginseng is a protected plant here in the US and elsewhere in the world, where harvesting has nearly wiped it out.

EB is not going to allow its sale if they see it.

Offsite link below:

https://www.fws.gov/international/pl...n-ginseng.html

Part of text from article/regulations below:

American ginseng can be harvested in 19 States. ... Wild and wild-simulated American ginseng roots can only be legally exported if they were harvested from plants that are 5 years of age or older and were legally harvested during the designated State harvest season.

Ebay often misunderstand and pick on keywords as they are associated with problem or illegal products for that country, I do not know which ebay site you are listing on. Also a branded product may be allowed but a lesser known or own-label one may not....there is a ton of different ginsengs being sold on .com, so the poster saying it is not allowing the sale of it is wrong...OP issue is more complicated than this....a few different trials of how to list it may be needed, but of course they have taken it down once and the OP risks having listings reviewed due to this...much better to give it a few months break or try a different non-linked account for the trial, if it is that important...

You say you will photoshop the ingredient off the label, but is it in any wording, as that is what ebay is picking up, not the pics......if you do this also, you are mis-representing the product, and for alot of reasons, inc. if someone has a bad reaction to an ingredient that you doctored out, it could be a problem, right?

nope i didnt put the ginseng in the listing, just in photo, what about Prunus africana is that forbiden?

[oompaloompa]

If the site is awash with any ingredient, then it is unlikely to be a banned one... If there are very few to none, then it probably is......rule of thumb.


Editing out an ingredient that people ingest is dishonest, they rely on you to give the correct info, and they could have their throat close up if they are allergic, do not do it!

You have done something wrong on original listing, not sure what....You will have to study the listings of others that sell it, which country are sending from and registered in, and how are they listing it...

I agree with Oompa, when it comes to health and beauty items that we have to take internally or externally, you have to be very careful.

Perhaps look at other listings that's successful and see what they do without losing any integrity in your listing

Usually no, but if there is only one other listing for it, maybe. The US listing will get more pull because the .de will have people thinking it is shipping in from Germany. Some people will wait, depending on the price gap. I've had this happen on products and all the others stay up. Dunno if its b/c they are monitoring the account or the listing is getting reported. It IS annoying as hell though.

These products are usually useless and sometimes actively harmful.

Why don't you just move on to something less problematic.

Some people just have some luck with keeping under the radar

Kinda like people who sell penis pills......so sad seeing people buying them with pipe dreams or larger penis dreams! hahaha. But I do agree, most of these are just placebos.....it's like people who use Rhino Tusk because they think it's magical.

Why don't you just move on to something less problematic.

Few Possible reasons:
1. Too lazy to find a new product
2. Too Stubborn
3. Large Profits to be made in suckering people

OP, competition reporting will be one of the worst issues you run in to.
Yes they have the ability to see you, if you are selling internationally, but they would not necessarily notice you if you just sell with German market.

No idea about OP particular product, but you guys are completely wrong about herbal products being placebos. If real ingredients are used, in absorbable form and correct amounts, herbal products are HIGHLY POTENT! Used for 1000s of years over many cultures, and are best used as an addition to conventional medicine. They may not have instant effects like pharms but they contain proven benefits at a cellular level.....I am a big believer, do not discount them, and read the medical studies!

Certainly some are safe and effective. There was a time, of course, when willow bark was used as a pain reliever, and many other herbals were the only way of treating disorders.

In the States, not being a medication, they are completely unregulated and have no applicable purity or inspection standards, and some horrific ingredients such as reflective road paint, feces, and gypsum have been found in SOME of them when tested.

60 Minutes and other shows have frequently done exposes of these issues. 'Natural' supplements are somewhat of a wild west situation here, with a lot of bad players.
