I have tested listings that has nothing inside it was flagged. My point is ... EBay does not allow VERO, end of story! Especially if you don't have established feedback history. But even when you do and you sell vero they can still easily pull it and flag your account. UNDERSTAND ?!?!!?!>? |
I agree that eb and pp lie and I never trust what they say.
They just find excuses for what they want to do to you.
If you ask them the real reason, sometimes you get someone who tells you the truth... and that is "we are unable to disclose the reason."
At least that's the truth.... all the others are stories.
You have to be real lucky to meet someone who will tell you the truth.
As to your comments about the LOL @ newbies.
That's not very nice and I don't think many of them who gave the advice to take your own photos think that the account is flagged because of the photo.
The advice to take your own photos is valid because eb does have policies against use of other people's photos, and those are one of their rarer valid policies as this pertains to legal issues.
You are threading on eggshells when you use something that you pull off the web as you never know what copyrights come with it.
This applies to all uses for any photos that you take from the web, not just eb.
By default, photos have all rights reserved to the photographer.
As long as you take a photo, you own the full rights to that photo and noone else can legally use it without your approval.
You don't have to see a lawyer or sign anything to own the rights.
This is by default.
The photographer can change the rights of the photo by entering into an legal agreement with other parties.
This involves signing documents.
He can sell the full rights to another party, or he can allow other parties the right to use but still own full copyrights.
There are also lots of other more complicated kinds of rights and stuff, as you can imagine.
If I take a photo and post it on the web, I own the full copyrights but I may approve for anyone to take it from the web and use it for anything they like.
Or I MAY NOT approve of anyone using my photo... here's where the problems can come if I wish to pursue it.
Therefore, the only safe photo to use is the one taken by yourself, as you own the full rights and are legally free to do anything you like to it.
So this rule is golden: ALWAYS TAKE YOUR OWN PHOTOS.
With regards to photos, vero and ebay... well, it's also good advice because even if your photos do not directly cause ebay to flag your vero listing, if you have a problem with eb due to vero, do you really want an additional problem with regards to the photo?
Compounding more faults into the vero listing is of course a bad thing to do.
Ooopss... sorry my post got long again.
OK, just one question.
Is it eBay who does the looking for Vero listings or the Vero companies or both?
