Default Why some Digital Items gets you suspended and some not?

So my eBay account was suspended once but I was able to reinstate it with eBay support however they mentioned...

That I can sell digital Items on eBay So what was the problem?

So I came to a conclusion which is some Digital items are forbidden to be sold on eBay but some others do?

Like I can see someone sold over 1300 League of legends account without being banned yet.

For example, I made my own stealth eBay accounts and sold digital items on it, but once I listed, for example, Hulu, 2nd Day my account was suspended.

When I talked to eBay support and asked them and told them the name of the items that I want to list the mentioned about Hulu don't list these Items.

So my question is what Digital Items that can get you suspended?
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!

This is learned either via trial and error and making strong relationships with ppl to understand how it works.

You are unlikely to be GIVEN this info since it would ruin other ppl's business or cause them competition.

The bottom line is ALL digital goods are risky. Some might be riskier than others but in the end theyre all risky.
And don't bother trying to figure out how others are selling so many of their own inventory. You have no idea what they had to do to make it happen. Youll just have to concentrate on your own business and figure it out.

Digital items do not have tracking, they're riskier by nature since a lot of people sell non legitimate versions of it

A new account selling them will often times get flagged

Rough business, too many wankers out there that will either report you or buy your item so they can sell it cheaper and still report you to get you out of the way.
It's near impossible to last more than a few months at best, now with MP you have no chance of getting back on to try again. Digital is now a dead end job, find something else or risk losing your MP accounts and never be allowed back on.

I doubt that but your previous comment was a leading statement that you were not prepared to share after all lol
Nevermind, not my scene anyway, was just curious.
Good luck with it

Life on eBay can be a pretty rough catch 22. May be necessary to look at different parts of eBay.

This is a necro thread, please open a new one.

Digital items are in general risky, period.
Not one is better than another and it'll just get tougher.
