You need to find something new to sell.

Re: Ebay Restriction message what do i do?
 

Apple is very strict if u are not an authorized dealer than u can sell like only a few apple products a month and that's as a powerseller, so unless u are an authorized dealer of apple u will have a lot of closed accounts

They also own the intellectual rights so even though there logo isn't on the item if that's their idea they own that and no one has the tight to resell

You wrote iphone in the title of the listing...not good, the bots removed it.

Re: Ebay Restriction message what do i do?
 

Avoid putting personal info and listings like you did in open forum please.

Be as private as possible.

Re: Ebay Restriction message what do i do?
 

I have read elsewhere on here about a month ago about people running into trouble selling iphone accessories(even non-branded ones) and have also read this in many other places now since then.

I have used cheap iPhone accessories on a few accounts as a means of building up my initial feedback. Sold about 30-40(3 week period) of these items on each account. Got about 25 feedbacks and started selling my product of choice after that. Never ran into any issues on either account over the non-branded iPhone products.

It is probably just luck and might even come back to bight me in the backside down the road.

Mind you i did follow all of the stealth guide step by step and did not cut any corners. Those accounts were all 2+months old before i started listing on them.

Since reading all the information from the vets in here i have parted ways with the tactic of selling iphone accessories to kick start feedbacks on an account.
