eBay Suspended & PayPal Limited Forums - Trademark detection system upgraded

I have handcrafted products that have silhouettes of popular characters.
No trademarks or registered logos used anywhere on the account, only fans could recognize them.
Account was deactivated after a month of publishing these ASINs as FBA listings.
No sales on the ac****. Also had some unbraded themes of items to mix with "trademarked".
I was banned just on the image basis without actual pointing from Amazon to the cause of suspension even during the ID verification call.

AZ is acting on the assumption that it "could" be an infringement, so they act like it is. Then you have to prove it isn't. They know proving a negative is almost impossible.

Always remember, AZ says you are guilty first, until you prove your innocence, and even with legit proof, AZ still has the right to say too bad, so sorry, have a nice life.

We all yearn for the good old days of the 2010's and earlier.

I hope it is not that picky, I do not plan to list anything risky but have heard ebay is much more sensitive these days, especially with name brand products. I may start with house goods or something small first.

i have never tried to list risky items, just playing it slow and safe to see if the account will last long-term. I think slow is best.

I’m a man. Up to this day, I haven’t heard anything from the brand or the court, but things like this take forever in Germany. I’ll keep the thread updated.
