How many VERO strikes before I get suspended for good? Do VERO strikes expire?
Throughout this forum I have found contradicting answers to these questions, which is why I would appreciate it if the responders are only people who have experience in these areas and can answer with confidence.
1) How many VERO strikes before you're suspended?
I am on my third strike and undergoing a 30-day no-listing suspension. It is unclear to me what happens after this. Does anyone have experience? I've read that after the 30-day suspension you're toast, but I've also read that if you don't have a suspension for a certain amount of time, it's like starting from scratch. This leads me to my next question.
2) Do VERO trademark violations expire? If so, how long until I can afford another hit by VERO?
3) Are VERO violations considered violations by the account or by the seller?
I actually received three hits on three different accounts at the same time by the owner of the same trademark. On my main account this is strike 3, and I'm under a 30-day suspension, while on the other two, it is strike 1, so the only penalty was a removing of the listing. It is worth noting that other sellers' (not all sellers') items who were violating the same trademark were also removed.
I am aware that what I'm doing may seem ludicrous, but I was aware of the risk from the get-go. I have not been cross-listing items, I just listed different items on different accounts so that I do not attract too much attention.
4) While I'm undergoing a no-listing suspension, should I be worried about listing VERO-proof items on my other accounts?
I tried listing on another acct just to see if I can; I delisted the item immediately.
Thanks everyone!
