2) Sold and purchased few cheap items (via EB + PP)
3) Sold one expensive item, no problems (via EB + PP), customer happy
4) Migrated 2 weeks ago to MP successfully and was sleeping till today
5) Has around 25 positive feedbacks
6) Listed similar expensive "main" item today
7) After few hours got this:



What is wrong and why suddenly they decided that my item is foo foo? As they were perfectly fine with a similar sale few months ago. And why do they say that the item is counterfeit but in their email they state that they actually didn't like private auction and limited selling history? Seems totally different reasons... what is going on?

Nothing has changed in the account during the year except the MP migration.

Does it matter? Worked for years in different accounts, all the same.

I assume higher price range? more than 50-100 USD?

Yes, higher than 100 usd

in my opinion it is branded item being sold from a high risk country by a new seller in a private listing



so I would say you need to build up selling history first and stop making any listings as private auction

As I've mentioned, this account sold such item already before. And it is not new account - 25 fb and one big sale, and acc is around a year old.

is it a LV account or another country?

Yes, Latvia, registered on co.uk. Seems .com registered accs are pummeled much less violently.

I think it does not matter which site it was opened on but which country it is registered in

I think it is a combination of a high risk county and high value items



I don't think the entire selling history is put to 0 by MP but most likely the risk management was tightened

As i see .com and .co.uk have very different understanding of risk. Also it might be fee-related, as uk fees are much lower.

I have many issues with perfect accounts made "by book". And my friends having extremely poor accs survive! Like young acc opened with crappy stealth docs, with mismatch bank, bad selling history, 3g ip, negs... and they live! But what is common - they never used private auctions, registered on .com site, and use Lithuania as registered address.

what do you mean they never: "used private auctions"

that needs to be tested , for now it looks like ebay don't have a problem with counterfeits as long as there is a history of selling counterfeits on MP and they are not sold as private auctions
