How to sell ingame items on ebay without ban?

[shin]

Hey, I wonder how people selling ingame items outside of everything else category on ebay without pernament ban. I tried it for the first time, sold 2 items and go pernament ban for entire my life. I tried stealth account and got ban again. I did research on ebay and i saw lot of ppls selling it with new accounts without suspesion. What i did wrong? is there any tutorial how to avoid MC113 ban for selling digital good outside of everything else category?

Selling such digital goods on ebay is near impossible these days.
I dont know what you think you saw but maybe write down the names of those 'new accounts' and check them in a few days - pretty sure youll see them all suspended.

You can get away with it for a few days or a few weeks or sometimes even a few months but you’re nearly always going to get banned selling those items the longer you take to build up the account with other items before selling them though the longer the Account will last general as a rule of thumb

Just to clarify, you are selling digital in-game items from video games? Like rare weapons, armour etc?
If you check ebay's rules these items are allowed so I'm not sure why it is causing problems. I have a friend who has been selling video game items for years now (he plays the same game for like 10 hours a day!!) on Ebay. He puts a disclaimer in his listing saying that he is not charging for the item, he is charging for the time taken to acquire it. Some of his armour sets go for £500+!!

It might be a good idea to contact Ebay, maybe a bot removed the listing by mistake and a customer service rep might take a look and confirm they are ok and let you relist them. I had a rivet gun listing removed because Ebay bots thought it was a firearm, but I just rang them up and they undid it for me

Hey is his shop still around btw? I've been selling in similar fashion from a 15 year seasoned account. Selling in-game rare items like weapons & armor for the past year without any issues. Though the last three months i've had eBay remove a dozen of my listings at a time in three different occasions. Each time almost for a different reason. In there policy it does say "Online Virtual Items for gaming" are allowed, but it is still a very hard line to walk with there bot I assume. I'll try putting that in my description hopefully it will help.

Have you listed them under the Information Products header in the "Everything Else" category? I read ebay policy says we have to do so.

Also this is my hypothesis, I think there may be some keyword that we have to avoid when listing the products. My premise is that bots are used by ebay to crawl and search for suspicious products and thus raising red flags. And the only possible indicator would be keywords otherwise all digital goods would have been gone by now. What keywords though - that I don't have any idea of

You guessed right.
