Sell something else on that account for a while. Get a few hundred sales in a different category then slowly start sneaking in ecig stuff again - that's what I would do.

Also get some backup accounts selling if possible. Your next listing takedown could be a suspension. You're in a risky category.

Welcome to the forums - all the best as you master stealth :thumb:

eCig products are always a potential risky item - you got caught by ebay and can not sell any on this account without potential for suspension.

If you want to experiment with sales in this market, get other accounts going and trial/error it out - but don't start with sales like this right away.

Otherwise - don't sell this product; you're not ready

I never heard of Ebay deleting listings for a particular product because there too many listings. I would get another account going ASAP,,I personally smell a suspension is on its way

I don't think it was because of having too many listings.

In my opinion, eBay cleans house like this every once in a while so it appears from the outside they're trying to keep a largely unregulated industry under control. If they're ever taken to court for allowing kids to buy dry herb vaporizers they can point at their long history of vape listing takedowns and say they tried their best to prevent it.

Seems like eBay wants the fee money from vape sales but they're nervous about the industry.

My guess would be another seller reported you .. Yea if you try to sell same thing again good chance account will be a goner .. Atleast wait a LONG time if you must relist the same on this account sell something different for a bit

Re: hello all yesterday ebay deleted all my listings
 

Get another product line.

All the above advice is 100% accurate.

Welcome to the forums friend.
The items that were removed are very high risk so id suggest avoiding them for the foreseeable future. Attempt to list them again and next time you will get a selling restriction or an outright suspension.
One more thing - don't bother comparing yourself to other sellers and what others are able to do. You have no idea how and why theyre able to do so - so theres no point in wasting your time doing so.
