How much abuse can a top account take?
 

I recently witnessed an interesting situation.

Seller whom I have been following for a while has been selling VERO/trademark foo-foos in large quantities. He has 5500+ positive feedback and had around 500 listings, with each listing showing approx. 150-200+ "sold" items.

Recently I checked his listings, and he took all of them down. My guess is that he was suspended.

I am just curious, how much abuse can such account take? 5.5k feedback, top rated, pushing 250-300k a year?

Here's the problem, you really have no clue how this account is run....maintained, or what this seller has done to keep their account from going under.

Obviously this seller is got their sh*t together and more power to them.

It's all about luck. I saw seller accounts with 20k+ feedbacks and pushing 100k+ a month. Most of them are still up and running.

I am extremely happy to see these big companies losing billions in revenue to counterfeits every year. They decided to take their business to China and now the Chinese are banging them over there and in the homeland as well. If they want to really fight counterfeits, then they ought doing that in China. Ooh I forgot, China does not give a damn about US laws=}


Sellers want to make a living and customers want something affordable so let it be this way.


:focus: > No matter how old/solid the account is, more than 5-10 Vero takedowns a month will get that account booted. In the Ebay world, no account is too big to fail.

To give you an idea, I was a gold Powerseller during the days... $14000/mo
all legit, no nonsense, played by the book. Until today I got suspended for absolutely no clue.

All about luck?

Although we all run a risk of random unfortunate events, most of what happens to us in life is because of the things we do.

In some people's book bad luck is selling phony iphone cords and getting hammered for it.

I am just stunned how he managed to push such volumes without attracting attention. Having 500+ trademark/VERO items all year round, most of which showed 150-200 "sold" is pretty darn scary, IMHO. Plus he lives in the west coast, where the customs are strict.

Or maybe he took all his listings off because he got caught/arrested/raided? :) Also a possibility.

Am I allowed to post his EB id? I would be good idea for us all to look over his account and share thoughts and opinions :)

^ I guess there's no issue with posting his ID.
I've had $30,000.00/mo before, but the suspension was due to me being stupid for not shipping the items on time.

His id is "ladaautoaccess"

What do you guys think? :)

From what I've seen, if you get to the point where they assign you your own personal rep, the account can take a LOT of abuse.

Car decals are vero now? I wasn't aware that was something that sold.

Re: How much abuse can a top account take?
 

I used to sell car window tint and these type of items were available from vendors (legit) so I can't say these are foo items. A lot of car companies even have special licensing usage for their logos on items like this - some don't even charge as it's promotion.

What does it mean? Vero takedown?

Re: How much abuse can a top account take?
 

Branded, trademark goods, nevertheless.

Re: How much abuse can a top account take?
 

You have a big mouth making another seller’s ID public.


Since when do we do things the way? We always allow sellers PRIVACY.

Shame on you.

:mad:

To a degree. If the car company has a strict IP policy, they can chase after sellers.

eBay UK has been ruthless over the years. HeeHee.

I avoid mentioning that name and you still bring it on. STOP IT ALREADY :pound:

Re: How much abuse can a top account take?
 

Seriously? All your questions revolve around VERO questions. You're the one who keeps bringing this subject up.

Yep

I am relatively new to EB, I have had both successes and failures with EB and I want to understand what's the game is all about before moving further.

As expected :)

Re: How much abuse can a top account take?
 

Hello, I had a personal account that was around 3-4 years old and I had around 10 7 days suspensions ( during which I could always sell and list new items as usual lol ) before I got a 30 day one.
With new accounts, I would be done in a few weeks. This went on for 8-9 strong months.
So sellers that are even stronger than that I can imagine they can just do whatever. I can also see hundreds of users selling tens or hundreds of clearly ⊗⊗⊗⊗ goods with tens of negative comments that they are ⊗⊗⊗⊗.
