Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

Every time on any account I submit a listing, it gets removed. Doesn't matter what the item is.

Even when I copy another sellers listing word for word on the listing for an item I sell, mine gets pulled but theirs stays up. WHat gives?

I even reported it as well:

So if they didn't find a violation for that item, why does mine get pulled when I copied the exact same listing but used my own picture.

It's getting ridiculous.

how old is the account? which category and item type?

Welcome to the forum OP - all the best as you master stealth method :thumb:


are you using an odd IP source?

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

It's a new account, but I get the same account on my aged accounts with 10 sales on them.

It's a laptop battery in the computer battery category.


All my listings that I submit are though inkfrog

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

try listing manually on aged account

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

I do that, but it doesn't make any difference.

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

in this case you need to stop selling it for several weeks and try again

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

Doesn't really answer my original question as to why my listings are being pulled and others are not.

It can't be due to age of account since the other listing that was reported as the image I attached was registered on February 29th.

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

so you call a 10 sales account an aged account??

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

accounts with little selling history may have various limitations , it is possible that laptop batteries are considered high risk items and you need to have selling history in order to sell them

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

Yes, there is definitely some kind of flag on the account

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

it is the type of items and category , batteries are hazardous goods

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

It's over a year old and I have sold items that were $1000 a piece on them.

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

Ok let me add another one:

These aren't risky at all. Yet his is still up and mine gets taken down.

Regardless on aged or new. THere are other items that are non risky that get taken down as well.

If there is a flag on the account, then what could be causing it?

I ruled out age as being one of that since most accounts I checked were newly created and listing similar items with no issue.

Phones? I use both online verification, boost mobile, ATT, Verizon and Tmobile cards and still get the same result.

if removals started they will continue , the only way to stop them is taking a break

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

I am asking on whether or not stopping it will stop them from happening. They will continue no matter what.

I am asking as I mentioned many times, what is causing it.

You mention high risk items, but how can that be when I have listed iPhone 14s on new accounts without any issue.

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

it is their bots removing items , they could easily be programmed to act on specific categories or sub categories

try to list in wrong category and see if it gets removed , change the title though so it is not identical

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

Tried it with several categories even on the ebay motors.

My only assumption is how the account is created when it comes to new sellers.

I create on mobile using mobile ips and on chrome, brave, edge and duck browsers

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

What's the specific reason ebay stated?
Go to live chat and ask an agent what's the reason it's taken down, maybe they'll point you in the right direction.

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

I have the same issues a year ago, many sellers listed the same items, but my listings were removed due to a "violation". It was happening on the same type of products I list and relist, I stopped listing that kind of products for some months and now they are live again without removals, so if you stop listing for some weeks or a month it may help.

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

stop selling and you will not have the problem later , it needs to be a longer pause

Re: Why Are My Listings Getting Removed While Others Don't Get Touched?
 

Happens certain periods. I know when I had listing removals every 30 minutes to an hour. There would be a week's period where all of that would stop.

Then the next week it starts up again.

Has nothing to do with items if everyone else is able to sell them, has to do with something flagging the account from the get go.

What it is? I have no clue.

Stopping it for a period of time isn't going to solve the problem. It is like putting a damn bandage on the problem when you should be solving what is causing it in the first place.

The issue isn't going to stop no matter how long you wait, it is going to continue to happen again.
