Making your EBAY listings Private - can lead to suspension
 

I seem to have bad luck listing private auctions (where the item description doesnt show up after in the feedback) on established accounts. I've listed the same items, about 8 per day on each account, on non-private auctions and the accounts are fine. When I list 8 per day as private auctions, the account gets whacked.

Anyone experienced this? I'm thinking they're reviewing the private auction accounts more strictly than the others.

maybe my situation is different and isn't much help to you, but i sell adult items, and every auction is set to pvt. never had any problems. i list about 150 items a week.

I have been selling all private for the last couple months with no probs...not VeRO items tho...you selling VeRO?

I list all my items as private, whether it be a Vero item or not. No problems at all.

This Maybe a not to smart question but ...i made a new ⊗⊗⊗⊗ ebay account wit 1 item listed so far(veRo)..how do i know if its a public or private auction?

80% of my auctions are private, no problems with mine.

No such thing as "not a smart question"...all here to learn a thing or two :)
When listing your item (s) , you have the option of listing as private...usernames will not be displayed on bids but you will see odd usernames ex: a***0 then a***1

HI:
Yes, have had same situation..
I believe that Ebay is "assuming" that you are Hiding something . so therefore the listing comes under scrutiny.. and if its a brand name--they just take it down..

I think as long as your selling the same type of items there won't be as many problems with private listings..

I also wait 30 days before I start doing privates..

I think when you try to drive your prices up by getting a bunch of cheap fb with private auctions..

I think I found out what was wrong. The account had a balance of about $200 past due (nearing the 2nd invoice date) and I listed about 20 (non-VERO) items to make some money quickly and pay off the balance through my PayPal account. Then I got suspended for "violating the spirit of eBay".

Doesnt seem to effect my listings, but then again it probably will soon

Just wondered?

I thought i read that they were not to keen on it. Maybe im wrong?

Thought so. Cheers Modee, Sorry about dupe.
