IP crackdown

[xb37x]

It seems to me e+$ee is doing some strict crackdown on the IP.. have had 1 acct go down and had 2 separate listings on another account be taken out all within 48 hours. am hearing that others are having this issue as well.

some products I sell are related to brands but no name of brand in tags, photos block logos with filters/objects-- usually something that protects me but it looks like they have upped their game with possibly the compliance team themselves reviewing listings..

Absolutely right. They're planning to 5x or 10x their review team this year.

On request from some dude of netnames band protection, first one of my 2 listings, than the other a week later, relisted it 1x it stayed for only 4 days

It's a crack down on new stores, not just IP. Then a 5 month shop with 300+ sales gets hit.. Some stores (very few) I am getting back after review confuses me even more.. Why those and not others? No ip infringing at all.

I saw on their site the closure of PP only option is temporary. Looks like a massive house cleaning.

They specifically stated the word "temporary" when talking about the restriction of pp only shop creation.

At least some good news about the temporary hold of pp only shop creation

Their own blog and various articles in the media. Platform grew 2x times in 2020, problems with counterfeits and scam grew also. Thats why we are seeing those changes recently

They are doing a crap job off clearing out contraband stores though. They are still there, and they are closing straight stores instead. Some clean up.

Yeah, totally on point. Emailing them like crazy to re-open our legit shops with 5 star feedbacks and zero complaints. Funny, when everyone else's still selling same counterfeits

[SaiJin]

Oh trust me, they'll get those bad shops eventually... it's always a cat and mouse game.

Prob is they bring a unique demo to their site, cuz when I list elsewhere for even cheaper I get crickets. So they've got me by the cajones so to speak!
