Uncalled for. Trust me you were not flammed. Play nice now. :peace:

:pop2:

You Know,,,on a side Note,,I just got a New pair of GLASSES and it is AMAZING what I can see now,,,Search Boxes,,,and THEN Some

I usually sell website links to my pr3 sites, those types of sales produce for you good feedback and constant sales. I was also wondering about setting your auctions as private, will this get you suspended?

All of my auctions are private - it means your feedback doesn't show cheap and nasty things when you go up market. I built one account to 200 feedback selling eyelashes - it now sells agricultural stuff but has a very impressive feedback - never been a problem

I have 2 accounts that have over 2k ish feedback and never listed an auction on them that wasnt private. They wouldnt offer it to you if it was just going to get you suspended. Go for it.

Well i beg to differ

My current suspension that expires soon states the following

Dear *****,

Thank you for your recent listing on eBay.



Unfortunately, the following item(s) breached one or more of our policies and had to be removed from the site.


Any associated fees have been credited to your account and any bidders on this item have been notified.


Why did we remove your listing?

- Listing item in a Private Auction
- We received a report that concerns the authenticity of an item in your listing. We regularly receive such reports from rights owners, law enforcement officials, and members of the eBay community. The report received was not the determining reason for why your listing was removed, but it was taken into consideration when Trust & Safety took down your listing. Please do not relist the item. Not only may it be removed again, but further actions against your listing(s) may further jeopardize or impact your eBay account status.

Beg to differ all you like - it's never been an issue for me

I agree with Granny, They offer it and people use it all the time. There is nothing hiding by your feedback and who is the high bidder. There is nothing fishy about it so I dont know where you are getting it.

Its probably the combination of private and selling risky items that is doing it. Its NOT the Private auctions alone.

They dont just throw the Private auction option out there so they can push that big "suspension" button as much as they can. People think so but its your selling practices that get you into trouble most of the time.

from what you are tell us, you sound very inexperienced in what you are trying to excel in. it is not a bash or flame, it is the truth. and why would you degrade people who are helping you and making it possible for you to get back on. if knew the money people were bringing in you probably wouldnt believe it.

I agree with dazza, giving private auction as a reason for a takedown is ridiculous, if they offer it they cannot say its a reason for takedown.

If you use the private auctions, for what it was meant for, eg buyer gets privacy on what they bought, then generally private auctions are ok, I use them when I sell in health and beauty catagory for privacy eg. diet pills (I am not saying I sell this, but an example). However people might not want others to see their purchases of underwear or what their jeans size is or whatever....it could be really wide-ranging to incompass anything, so really its down to the seller, E-bay taking it down for being private is ridiculous as they do not offer any rules as to how it should be used.

I really dont see why ebay even shows what a buyer buys or even allows people to see what others buy. To me everything should be private. ITs no ones business what I buy on ebay. I think its stupid.

HOWEVER....... I do lots of searches to see what others buy so I guess I am conflicting myself. still dont see why they do it though.

Flaming heck !
When you even MADE the thread, a box comes up with entries of other threads that may match yours.
SEARCH top right hand of page as you sit facing screen.

Forum suggestions exists for a thread 'help I cant find a search button'. Many ways to have worked out the problem :pop2:

You have a long way to go if you are struggling to find the search box in a basic forum.

If you want to find profitable items... Go to ebay or Terapeak and find the items that are selling in high quantities. Then go find a supplier that sells these items to you at a lower price. Easy Peasy, Japanesey..

biggunn sums it up very nicely - nice and easy, japaneasy
