How many strikes can I get before any further punishment to my account?
 

So far I've had three VeRo listing removals, and one 'Counterfeit item removal'
The hilarious thing about this, is all of the VeRo ones were already removed BY ME, and i got all those strikes DAYS after i manually removed those listings

Its really bugging me, that i am getting strikes on listings that have absolutely no buyers and attention, yet others selling the exact same item are making bank (some have sold 1000+ yet i get the punishment for selling 2-3, LOL)


my question is, how much further can I go? I don't want to receive a permanent ban but it seems like all the digital items are marked as either copyrighted, unauthorized, counterfeit or whatever

There isn't a set number of strikes, depends on other variables that noone knows about. Just do your best to decrease Veros

the ones with ( sold 1000+ ) are the one who reports you that's why , do the same to be fair

oh i'm obviously doing it

i am just scared for my ebay account, lately ive had a lot of sales and positive feedbacks, i just dont wanna start over again

I understand. what if i completely stop selling VeRo types but still get the 'counterfeit' type of email, or other non-veros? should I only worry about veros, and the others are not that serious?

A strike is a strike. They just build up

Not sure here. Other can chime in

But my guess is each type of violation has a separate counter but there's still probably an overall violation counter. It does reset after a while tho. Just go through your inventory and do your very best to limit your risks

What's your business model and how many items you have?

well it depands of your feedback if you have a good amount of it it may take even 5 or 6 . from my experience

you might be down with 1 strike, maybe 2 or maybe 3, depends on the age of your account mostly, but if its a new account, you will have 1 strike then suspended.

OP, you're on thin ice - only eb / pp truly knows when to kill the accounts
