MC999 Ebay listing removed
 

Hello,
I am new to these selling restrictions, but reading these threads have helped a great deal. I listed an extra Insanity workout I received as a gift and the item was removed for the stock photo..I re-posted it with a different pic and different description and then received this message:
Your listing has been removed.
Your item was removed because of a request we received from BeachBody, LLC (formerly Product Partners, LLC), a member of our Verified Rights Owner Program (VeRO), asking us to remove the item for:

I then contacted Beachbody and this was there response:Hello,

MY QUESTION IS: Can I open another ebay account and sell the same item with out being suspended or worse...basically what should I do from here?
I just would like to get it worked out and sell under the same account

All advice will be much appreciated ..Thanks!!:hail:

If you list it again on your current account your account will more than likely be suspended.

I suggest you find another venue and sell it as used
:pop2:

Thanks...
When you say venue...are you referring to opening another account and then selling it as used?

Thanks

You might get away selling it on different accounts bit by bit or buy it now price so buyers buy it quick.

Find out if the copy you're trying to sell is authentic. If your friend didn't buy it DIRECTLY from Beach Body, it's not. There's no if's about that.

I suspect that'll be the end of this one.

you will have to change your pic and ad description as they are now flagged, but yes you should be able to sell small quantites using buy it now on another stealth account.

Thanks...I really hope this works...ohhh. .one more question...Should I go stealth including using a different paypal account or should I just link the new account with the existing paypal account..

Thanks in advance

You recived this item as a gift, so I assume that means you do not normally stock/sell this specific item on eBay?

So WHY, after it just got your main eBay account suspended, would you go to ALLL the effort of opening fresh accounts just to list it. Just for one sale!

My advice, either sell the item through a different venue or you could give this item as a gift yourself on your new eBay account :p

Though I would opt for the first option. Different venue. If the item has a nice value :)

I dont believe it is suspended from what I understand I just cannot sell that same item..Insanity.. and I have 2 of them..one a gift and one I purchased my self....does that change anything?

Thanks
:suspicious:

I don't know the value of what you are selling but it sounds high risk to me. I would let it go - put it on Craigs List or Amazon or Ebid.
:pop2:

Anything beachbody is high risk. They hand down violations left and right. They have lawyers and people even seeking out sellers address and home numbers. They are even active in customs. The copies can be bought well under $20 a piece and sell near $100 at the right time. But its not worth it cause your account will go down quick.

No it changes nothing.
