Can't Figure Out What Is Going On With Listing Removals

[rsot]

seems like they have been linked as agent indicated

But how is it even possible. I have 3 accounts on 3 separate devices each with their own IP source.

I mean the only thing I can see them making a connection would be the phone the pictures were taken with.

do they all come from the same IP provider?

One is Verizon business mobile IP, the other is Boost mobile hotspot device and the other is a Dedicated IP from a online provider.

Different devices to:
Iphone 13 with verizon IP
Windows 11 Desktop new profile with boost mobile IP
Chromebook with Dedicated IP

They are not registered yet, since I haven't sold an item on them.

they aren't selling similar items/same listings?

Different items and categories:
1 for clothing
1 for toys
1 for electronics.

I am going to try seeing if using one inkfrog per one account will help stop removals if it is due to a linking issue.

Metadata on pictures has been questioned on eBay before. As for IP source, I have seen hot spots not release and grab a new IP and use the same one as before. That could easily link if you are using the same provider for said IP source.

Whether it would be clothes, electronics, candy or glassware.

I put just a plain term like "Battery" in the title and the photo I took of the item. Still gets taken down. I am just wondering if those AI bots scan the photo like Mercari does.

Once you add a photo on the Mercari listing, it automatically aggregates a generic title based on what it scans.

Something tells me these bots have possibly grabbed information the old-school way: your account number. No matter how you try to change the titles or listings it will flag a new creation with the image data, wording, etc. It is the same principle as when you get a real vero. They ALWAYS remember that item through various means.

Odd, my normal listings that typically get removed every morning even in the prior months are still up as of two days straight.

I am not going to count my chickens before they hatch, but I wonder if was just bot testing eBay was doing these last months.

But for eBay scanning photos for words, they definitely do. I had a listing with a product that contains a specific ingredient on the box in big bold letters. They removed it that morning for that same ingredient.

But going forward, I will test using one ebay account to one inkfrog account to prevent any linking from happening.

Nope, still getting hit despite everything being changed. There is a couple of other sellers with listings similar to mine that are still up and they have the brand name in their title.

Not sure what you mean by account number. Do you mean bank account info?

Vero is manually done by the rights owner, it's the rights owner who keeps an eye on your account if it's Vero.

Doesn't make sense at all. I am getting listings pulled on accounts that haven't been used for months for sales that happened back in May.

This is utterly insane. Don't know what the hell eBay is doing with their AI bots.

No clue what you even mean by account number when these accounts have no bank or any payment method attached. They literally don't have one sale on them.

So it isn't just me that was noticing this other sellers to:
