EBAY is targeting sellers of Brand Name Goods even more heavily these days

[yogarelax]

well, ok, BUt I still wonder if LV will make more money if no fakes are sold????. I still say, I cannot see Jessica Simpson buying LV off ebay.
And I have been poor so long that I will not LIVE long enough to break the "frugal" habit and buy REALL stuff.
just me.

[yogarelax]

Forgot to say.... I would sue anybody for ANYTHING if I could get 50 million, so can`t blame LV there!!!

[greg2414]

i know what your saying mate yeah.
Well 1. It;s illegal to do so anyway lol BUT in the picture it dirmorrilises (how ever u spell it)
LV. For instance like someone said in that last thread. You see young girls and people you know would never afford one of those and it makes it look scabby and a crappy. I wouldnt buy my mrs a lv now tbh, WELL specially in one of the fake designs lol Brown and pink etc

I’ve lost 5 accounts (30 day no list rule) due to this over the past 3 days; 1 US the rest UK..this is going to kill eBay as buyer will walk

Anything that is Branded is being hit this is the eBay big cull before Sept

Disaster ..got to wait 90 days before they will review accounts????


The big problem is after the 30 day wait what will the listing restrictions be ..1 item a day???? for 30 days etc etc

I think with some products, counterfeits actually help to promote the products. It was on a TV doc. I watched, that a large business - can't remember the brand - was saying this.

I have noticed some of my accounts have been hit with these 30 day restrictions, but i have also noticed on one of my high feedback power seller accounts item final prices are going through the roof!

I put this down to ebays new polocies and the new restrictions on supply side

[becca073]

By 30 day restrictions do you mean 1 item every 30 days? Is this on new accounts? I still see sellers with over 100 feedback listing 3-4 items at a time.

[Modee]

30 day restriction means can't sell for 30 days.

[becca073]

Okay I understand that now, but I still see accounts with 4-5 luxury items up at a time that are clearly fake, so how are they determining who to target & who not to or is there no rhyme or reason to their implementation of rules?

[tiredofebay123]

My 30 restriction fell off today for most name brands, just a few are still restricted. I was waiting for an e-mail from ebay about the restriction but they did not e-mail me, I just happened to try and list and it went through on most brands. The restriction lasted about a week. But like I said, certain name brands are still limited.

[becca073]

I just tried to relist an item from a dead beat buyer who never paid. It wasn't a new item but a relist. Nope denied. I am so pissed. I tried to contact Live Help and was told I had to email Safety & Trust. Yah whatever like they will get back to me. So this account cannot relist this item for 30 days. BS

[tiredofebay123]

Trust and Safety takes their sweet time too, waiting for them to respond on two accounts to this 30 day restriction for over a week now. I have been able to list 75% of my fragrances, its just certain brands that won't list.

[trg005]

Be careful writing to trust and safety. I've heard of a lot of people writing to get their 30 day restriction lifted, some were successful but most were not. The ones that did not get their restrictions lifted were told to wait 90 days before writing back to have the restrictions lifted.

[wushuARTIST]

Thats nothing, i tried revising an item and it wouldn't let me. Saying it was restricted for 30 days!!!! I mean come on... not even letting us revise a current live lsiting! LUDICROUS!

[becca073]

So was the listing ended or could you just not revise?

[ebayhateluv]

HI Guys--the REASON for not allowing REVISIONS--folks take a SIMPLE listing--say a can opener--
THEY REVISE it as a ROLEX WATCH..
T+S has caught onto all of this

[badebay]

reading all the remarks on this post just reinforces my view that the craps hit the fan now. lets face it, unless your selling something totally inocent like feather dusters or bed sheets your stuffed. the chickens have come home to roost. and i bet the md on ebay is sick too as the share price is set to nosedive ( which it already has ) time to but some bedsheets and dusters i think.

[trg005]

Bedsheets are out most are vero unless ebay has not heard of frette or sferra (millesimo are tdf, that's what i sleep on) but good luck selling your dusters

[brokebackebay]

hmmmm, maybe ebay will revert back to what it once was.....a great place to find unusual collectible items that were hard to find, instead of a mega store for things you can buy in any US city...I'm just sayin'.....

[becca073]

tiredofebay123

Did you have to wait a full 30 days for the restriction to fall off or did it fall off sooner?
