VERO - Large amount of recent takedowns
 

There seems to be a big VERO crackdown on a lot of the VERO items I'm selling, anyone else experiencing such issues?

Remarkably, I've been unmolested by VeRO for a few months. I've been using every trick I know, and making up a few new ones too.

yes, you will get takedowns, you will discover which are occasionals and which are no- nos, some things are not worth messing with. After a takedown let you account rest for 3 months from any vero item.

Also for the last few months it seems that violations are now marked to last 12 months on seller dashboards rather than the previous 3?

Do you guys find much difference between using 3 & 5 day listings? Appart from one lasting 2 days longer than the other of course ;)

My own observation is that shorter listing times for really tasty items - draws attention. I can't say it's a blanket issue, but on my own previous listings and reviewing my notes, the data says shorter is worser.

The last violation I had only lasted 3 months. But again, I haven't had any for a while now.

Very seldom do a 3 day listing except for the holidays. Depends on the item. Like to tempt fate with the Sunday night endings :rolleyes:

I've had to do a few title changes to get away with 3 day listings, most of the vero takedowns i've gotten have "listed item for 3 days" or sumthin with similar wording.. 3 accounts but no suspensions, just 7 day restrictions..

Vero has been pretty lenient on a sellers account(s). The listing length definitely contributes to the sellers success.

Can anyone confirm 12 month thing?

Is 5 day auctions safe....cause I want to sell my gucci's shoes and have a picture of the receipt

Days won't do much help. how old is your ID and how many feedbacks? any taken down within the last 90 days? if there is, what's the quantity? did you put any receipt, photos, contact info up there... ?

I had my id since last year aug and I have 88 Feedbacks and I have no take downs in the last 90 days but I had two take downs on the account total tho...I selling them one pair at a time and I didnt post anything yet....when I post it should I post contact info???? will that help keep it from being taken down???

It is 12 months for the UK now.... don't know about US....

CJ your dashboard shows 12 months? where did you get that from, Im ok after 3 mths..

It seems then the length of time is variable depending on the specific violation.

However all my policy breaches are showing for 12 months.

What kind of violation(s) stays for 12 month in UK?

Shill bidding
Feedback manipulation

Some Vero hits (obviously not all from what other posters have said). I rarely get Vero takedowns because of what I sell. But I have got some on a couple of my accounts from selling goods outside my usual range. 1 dropped off after 12 months the other 2 are still there 7 months and 10 months in.

CaptainJack.

Would anyone recomend listing an item for 1 day but using about 10 in quantity? If it gets taken down then is that only 1 strike against you or 10?

Thats not too wise.

Sometimes, 3 may get taken down today instead of all 10, and the rest later - that's at least 2 strikes. Don't do it.

Once I did that and only a few were taken down and the rest we left alone to have winning bidders. VERO watchers are so crazy sometimes/all the time.
