Activity: 0% Longevity: 27% | | Hit with two Counterfeit removal. Now what to do?
Got first ever Counterfeit removal notice last Friday.
As I was chatting with an agent just now, got another ebay message with second Counterfeit removal notice.
Same brand same item just different size.
Shall I end all other sizes for that item? Or rather first modify/edit listing to remove the part of the name of the item and then end?

What is the brand you are selling? How long have you been selling these before being hit with the counterfeit removal?
Once hit with a removal let the account cool off for 6 months atleast and switch to a different account. Dont lay all your eggs in one basket!

The notice says copyright holder is complaining?

It’s not what happens now, it’s these things that trigger periodic reviews, which lead to MC011. I would take down that brand until you can figure out how to ensure these removals stop.

it is better to remove all items which cause these problems , even better to remove all items from the category otherwise there is a risk of continuation with a 3day and 7day suspension. after 7day suspension may come anytime

A counterfeit item removal isn't as big of a deal as VeRO IMO but I could be wrong

Tiffany took Ebay to court for allowing counterfeit and knockoffs on Ebay as false advertising and lost the case,court said it is the duty of the name brand to take action.
So now plenty of name brand manufacturers are active on Ebay,Addidas.Apple,Msft,Tiffany,Prada,Coach ,Rolex and more,
They can take down your listings or ask Ebay to take them down

The brand company could buy your item and study it,they want to know who is making these counterfeits and go after them

removal with both VERO and non VERO are dangerous because they start a restriction cycle , once the first 3 day restriction has kicked in the account can be considered to have entered the death row

I think it said in the email that the community reported it- which I took to be a competitor. I didn't relist the item but there was no mention of a 3 day restriction or any restrictions.
If anyone can report an item enough and get eBay to take it down it does seem unfair considering there is no way to counter or fight it.

Is the account forever doomed still?

Usually it goes warning, 3 days limitation, 7 day limitation, 10 day limitation perm ban. But it can also go straight to a perm ban.
