Re: Hit with two Counterfeit removal. Now what to do?
 

established sellers may get some slack so that restrictions may start after multiple warnings and there may be multiple 3 day and 7 day restrictions but in general once it starts it is a problem

What is the timeframe now?

The last I knew of it was a year but then after the counter strike I noticed the message disappeared after 90 days.

Re: Hit with two Counterfeit removal. Now what to do?
 

you will find out the next time an item gets removed , if previous strike is gone their message will be stating that you might not have been aware of the issue but if it is not their message will be stating that you were already warned in the past

I've had my account vero'ed a few times. It seems after a few months the next vero will go back to 3 day. I've only ever had one 7 day and that was 2 veros in less than 2 months. From my experience veros don't matter at all if spaced out far enough. So yes there is a cool off period for veros at least.

Kind of dangerous assumption to operate on - have backup accounts going

Re: Hit with two Counterfeit removal. Now what to do?
 

Extremely dangerous.

I think you get a 3 day and then a 7 day. If you get a 7 day there has not been a "cool off" since the 3 day.

It is interesting that these Vero/counterfeit messages disappear from your inbox after 90 days. I do wonder what the significance of this is, if any. Rationally, you would think that the violation has "cooled off" by the time the message disappears...but maybe not.

The difference between Vero and counterfeit is the rights owner has submitted a Vero notice on your item if it's vero. Counterfeit can be user reported.

I'm sorry I made it seem like it was a sure thing. Just wanted to chime in on my experience with veros. Over the 4 years of selling I had maybe 8-10 veros and only 2 were over 7 day. I had a really strange vero where the company listed a bunch of items some being similar but there were a bunch that were very random. It feels like eBay doesn't check anything.

ebay can feel wishy washy sometimes

Re: Hit with two Counterfeit removal. Now what to do?
 

If the vero is generated by a buyer complaining (competition) you must wait over a month for the complainer to ask for a return. Then you can start listing. Most veros are from the competition buying from you, then ratting you out.

Re: Hit with two Counterfeit removal. Now what to do?
 

I beg to differ some are from the manufacturer,or VERO members,volunteer or paid EBAY staff.
They would not complain and they do not return the item

Re: Hit with two Counterfeit removal. Now what to do?
 

You really don't wanna play the game with them.

Vero is rather serious and you are lucky you even had 8-10 veroes and not get your account nuked. 8-10 is a LOT

Re: Hit with two Counterfeit removal. Now what to do?
 

yeah it sure is a lot which is why I was surprised at the suspension days getting reset to 3 as many times as it did. Maybe because my account was 20 years old?
