Default Ebay AI is determinating each item as replica

Hello.
I have aged 5+ years and about 20+ feedbacks from branded items second hand sold. Some of them 10k+$
Now i list branded but cheap item 100$ and its third time since december when ebay remove listing as replica and gave me warings.
They whrite in email its AI decision.

How it can be ? Every single item goes under replica.

Third time removing listing? You're playing with fire trying to relist it.

What is the item or category Karlis96? Need to be clear

When you appeal for listing ending, explain why AI is wrong, they will fix it

The rep cant change the AI behavior ,it has to be their Tech dept.
Did you take your own photo or use stock photo?
What about other sellers?
You cant be the only Hermes seller?
I see plenty of used HERMES scarves on Ebay !

Sure, always using only my own photos. Never had used stock photos.
Others still selling if you mean that. There is many sellers who sell Hermes stuff.

Could it be competitors reporting you to bring you down?

No, i have only one account.

I gave this two items to my friend who has also account on ebay but with much more less selling history, and he was listed those items.
He sold both items sucessfully. AI didnt take them down.
But if i list those items they will be taken down.

How this can be explained ?

It is not related with countrys.

Before i told you my friend who has also selling account with much less selling history ( 2026 year account ) can sell all those items what i can not sell anymore.
Its not related with country.

Difficult to explain - his account hasn't been flagged like yours perhaps...and his listings are flying under the radar

from my experience uk , usa , germany and a few others get preferential treatment. smaller ones are stricter but if the country does not matter here then AI might have red flagged the actual account
