I think it changes your policy compliance from good to low to very low to suspended.

I got hit with 2 vero violations at once and all they did was make me take that test. Funny thing it was a patant violation and was not the item i was selling it was because i used a picture of the vero members product instead of the other companies.

Always use your own pictures and text. I think thats why some people put pictures up with a paper with their username on it.

I really hate vero(i sell real stuff and I get this on 1/2 of my listings)...and there are a few proven methods to get past it...but you will have to search the forums high and low to find it....

I had a item taken down yesterday and I did not get suspended, just told I need to take a selling tutorial.I believe it is the power sellers of the same product that reported me . My message said that several members of the community reported me to have questionable content.This is total BS and I feel monopolized, why are they allowed and the newish seller not.

Can you please update us on this? I have had a problem with false accusations from Skullcandy as well...and have been in contact with at least one other seller who also had a problem.

I foolishly tried to deal with Brian Oleksa and Skullcandy without realizing you could file a counter notice. The threats they used against me were crazy...

Thanks for your help.

you can try

Actually under the letter of the law and speaking from my past experiences with VERO members they fall under several categories.

Example: Sports jerseys (NFL, MLB, NBA etc) are usually handled by a law firm as "representatives" of the Adidas, Reebok, Mitchell and Ness group (s). They claim to have "experts" who can tell just by the image the seller posted if its real or not...which is bull****. Over the course of time what I've discovered is if you pull an image of a jersey from the internet your chances of having the item removed and receiving a letter from the law firm demanding money is 70% higher than if you use a digital camera and post your own images.

In this case these people are an office of Paralegals who sit around reviewing sports jersey listings on eBay in an attempt to drum up money for the firm by threatening the sellers with prosecution. Normally after the 2nd letter (which doesnt even arrive via certified mail like most legal mail from law offices) they stop the threats and its pretty much forgotten. But trust me, they not only demand up to 500.00, they also demand you report who your supplier is, and expect for you to send all of your current supply to them for destruction.

The only way around them is to have an attorney file a court order to "Cease and Desist", with "Interruption of Business". Trust me..they wont deal with another law firm simply because its not worth the costs to fly out from New York to your judicial court and file a courst case based on assumption from their so called "experts".

The 2nd type is normally an employee of the companys' "brand" that you are selling. This is normally their daily job to search eBay for their products being sold.
Again the red flag is the image you use..always snap your own digital images. Sometimes you can even contact the VERO member and they will contact eBay and the item will be relisted. But stay polite to them no matter how pissed you are.

Nobody answered this person's qn.
I wish to know the answer too.
It seems that some people are repeatedly hit while many others are safe for selling hundreds to thousands of the same product.
I can never understand why.
I wish to be enlightened.

That user's questions were answered privately.

He was trying to only sell items subject to VeRo. He stopped selling on ebay.

You should know by now that ebay has different rules for every account.

Standing advice here is to concentrate on your own account and not be zapped by ebay.

And try to avoid phakes :peace:

That's why I'm trying to understand what makes them zap some accounts and not others... so that I can avoid doing what makes them zap. :pry:

What does that have to do with VeRo? :spy:

Vero makes them zap accounts, isn't it?
If you get many, or if you just get it when they are in the mood for zapping, or whatever... :juggle:
