Ebay Account 3 Days Of Restrictions

[aly]

Hello forum,

I am listing 10 units. I sell them and end the listing.

Then I make a new listing with same title, photos and description and I put 10 units, I sell them and end the listing.

And so on, I did this 6 times and liquidated all my stock.

Today receive the email and says my account is restrictions for 3 days.

After careful consideration, your listing has been removed because it didn?t comply with our policies. We received a report concerning the authenticity of your item.These reports can come from a number of channels, for example law enforcement.This removal was for your safety and the safety of the eBay community, so please do not relist your item.Relisting your item may result in the restriction of your account.

I have 3 different listings and the email says:

a temporary 3-day selling restriction has been placed on your account (starting on the date of this notice), and your other listings will be hidden from search during this period; These other listings will automatically be restored and show up in search results after the end of the temporary restriction.
But the listings continue to sell normally.

The listings eBay removed were the first two I made two weeks ago.

Can eBay remove end listings?
It is not assumed that the listings that can be removed are those that are live or ready to sell the products.

I appreciate any recommend:

Thank you!

Not sure what you are trying to ask here. Bots remove the listings which would be those AI ones that eBay has enlisted. Whether it was a counterfeit, VERO or some other BS removal. Most of the time, the removal reason isn't a valid reason to begin with.

If you never had any prior removals on your account and you got hit with a restriction. It is most likely what happened in my case where they remove all prior listings in the account. They can go as far back as 3-6 months and then hit you with a restriction for all those violations.

Best way to counteract this if you keep hitting it is to open more accounts and play with the titles and descriptions to avoid certain keywords.

They can remove any even if they sold months or even years ago.

Now that they have that AI implemented back about a year ago. They pulled one of my listings that sold. Once they pulled that, apparently the AI bot crawled all of the previous listings that sold up to 6 months prior and remove those.

Never had issues with that prior to the AI being tested. So expect that to most likely be the norm now.

Also to, if you are in a competitive field with your items. Competitors can report it and get it removed. Whether that be sold or unsold, it would still get removed.

after 3 day there would be a 5 day restriction , if you get that you will have to stop selling for a while otherwise the account will be at risk of suspension

The problem in your case was not making new listings every time, the problem is selling VeRo products...
The limitations will be executed in this way:
first 3 days
second 7 days
third 10 days
In some cases you may receive a definitive limitation in the first message.

this depends on how established the seller is , there are sellers who can receive multiple warnings of each type without suspension , on others it just goes 3-7-10 and boom

Based upon my experience then a listing is 'visible' for 3 months via advanced search/ended listings so that is an easy find for anyone, like, say a VeRo member or a competitor. A disgruntled buyer will always be able to see their purchase.

I've had ended listings taken down but old ones (from the same VeRo holder) didn't get touched, just ones which were searchable.

Now that's not to say that if ebay themselves trawl your listings that they wouldn't go back even further and best to assume they might.

popularity certainly plays a role , it is often items that have been up for a long time with many sales and high popularity

same item with low quantity that gets sold out and relisted again has less chances of being taken down

In general, it is better to sell a little than to sell a lot when it comes to products prohibited on the platform.
but sometimes it's not just selling little, the competition, other sellers report your publications and make eBay see what you sell and limit your account.

Even if you sell a little or a lot, they will simply report it and remove the listing due to electronic delivery or counterfeit item policy without having any proof. I think they are the people who report them because when it is a company, the eBay email gives you the email of the company that complained in order to contact them and in my cases they do not have any company email. I just removed it and they punished me for 3 days without being able to sell.

Try everything: change titles, photos and description and the result is the same. And I copied an ad that is still alive and removed mine.

I don't know what the trick is to avoid removing listing. But I do know that on Fiveer there are services to remove eBay listing guaranteed or refund your money back if you can't remove the listing.

Basically explaining issues that I and a couple of other users on this and other forums have experienced.

Only thing that I can assume is if they are pulling your listings despite copying other listings verbatim, yet yours gets pulled. Something on the account is triggering it.

Someone else pointed out that it can't be a VeRo removal unless specifically stated in the email. Competitors or even bots can't issue a VeRo unless the rights owner initiates it to be taken down.

Chances are, it's either a competitor or a flag on the account that the AI bot is crawling and removing the listing while others are still up.

Hard to give a solution on this since I have yet to find out one. Only half-baked solution I have is to offload that inventory on Mercari which is going slowly.

it is typical for them for example to remove items that are sold in quantities below average price and with history of counterfeit removals for this item (from other sellers) in the past

It happens a lot with handbags, perfumes, and software...
eBay and its policies are that way and have always worked that way.
I think the best thing is to never lower prices by less than 2 dollars than the competition.

I lowered the prices $2 less than the competition and raised them more than the competition and the result is the same. Ebay removed the listing for violating the policy.

The only way is to make new accounts every time or be an authorized reseller.

I think that is the solution.

I was trying different techniques but none of them worked for me.

[murdered_by_ebay]

most likely the problem is with brands , the TO probably know which brands it is so that they would need to stop selling them

the point of ending ended listings is very simple , there are programs which capture information on ended listings so that the market does not need to be observed live and most likely the ended listings are reported through VERO , seller gets a strike

it just looks like a listing that ended is done and finished but it is easy to find , for example when I analyze the market for certain categories I can immediately get a list of all ended auctions above a certain price over the last several months , if I was a copyright owner I could easily delete all listings belonging to my brand

Those who can list at $18 with free shipping must be wholesaler,how can one compete with wholesaler?
It is Rupert Murdoch who said long ago internet is bad news for retailers.

Very difficult to compete with wholesale prices - you might have some ppl paying more if there is a quality difference or warranty or faster shipping, etc - it is hard to do but there are creative ways of getting your items noticed more than the lowest price...

The solution is to stop selling it...
but in that case it is good to create or buy new accounts every time
