Listing removed but strange reason

[becca073]

Title of the email read: MC019 eBay Listing Removed: Trademark Violation - Unauthorized Item (............)

However in the body this is the reason:

The listing was removed because it violated eBay policy.

- Listing item in a Private Auction

For a safe shopping experience on eBay and to make buyers feel confident about their purchases, we will at times remove certain listings from the site.

Unfortunately, your item was removed because of the way it was listed. Our concerns included:

WTH is that? I haven't sold since November on this account but I always did private listings. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem recently. I received a "Limited selling history" Violation which I never seen! It was plain stupid! So I argued about it messaging them back. They said they are sorry on behalf of ebay it was a error on there part. Your damn right!

Try messaging them about it on what happened here/how to resolve. Maybe you put it in the wrong category? I never seen this one before.

Might be some buyer reported you.Ebay can still remove ended listing if it not over 90 days old.They do that because it will notify all listing buyers the listing has cancelled because of VERO.Some buyer can file chargeback for it because ebay told them it is ⊗⊗⊗⊗!This is a hard atteck to VERO sellers.If a seller use good til cancel or long time listing with many buyers in 1 listing,all the buyer will get notified and if they all open disputes in paypal your account will simply dead soon because of too many claims.Ebay don't even need to take VERO suspension they could just watch you dead by other ways..

So be awared of this!!!If you selling vero,only list 1 item per listing for short time.Never do long time muti-item listing!!!

Some items cannot be listed with a private auction.

What can't be listed in a private auction?

I have been selling "high end" socks for over 5 years. This particular brand is a vero member but doesn't touch the socks for some reason. They will pull an auction if you try to use their stock photos but do not touch the other items. (knock on wood) I just recently decided to take all precautions and started listing them all as private. Hopefully without issues. I'm pretty sure egay has caught on the the pvt listing thing.
