All listings removed?
 

I usually sell cheap legit items on aged eBay accounts for the 10 DSR so I can sell stuff (no, not ebooks or anything like that, i sell random cheap stuff like paperclips, pens, and bookmarks, all about $1 to get my DSR up). For some reason.. on this one account, all my listings got removed with no warnings or messages from eBay. Anyone know what's up with this? It was removed within 5 minutes of listing it. I listed about 8-9 items

Now I got the New Seller Please Call Us message I've been hearing so much about on eBay.... hmm.... how are people getting around this?

And here I am thinking I was the only one who went to eBay looking for incredible deals on paper clips. :rolleyes:

When I start to sell on a new account or an aged one. I always start with only one item until it sells and increase by one each time after. Never had eBay ask me to verify or call them still. This strategy might have nothing to do with it, as there are probably many potential reasons they remove listings.

This is the only conclusion that made sense to me though, maybe it's because you listed so many at once on a fresh selling account. No matter what the cost of the item in my opinion, you should start as slow as possible and gradually build to stay under the radar.

Excellent advice jamb - 8+ items listed at one time, and all the same type, is a prob rough flag for NEW account.

Ah, I see. I did this to rush into selling higher risk items and I had no problems in the past. Shouldn't have gotten impatient.. I guess there goes another account?

Should I call in and do the verification? Anyone know what they ask for?

EDIT: Nevermind, I called and they asked for all kinds of IDs and invoices.. Yes.. I have invoices for paper clips and pens... eBay is retarded.
