In terms of eBay, PayPal and Amazon, HIGH RISK means any items that are either favored by counterfeiters or have proven to be a problem for them in the past.
Some people will simplify it and say that Software or DVD's, for example, are high risk. But that is not entirely true.
If you try to sell Windows 7 Ultimate, that is considered high risk. But if you are selling Family Tree Maker Deluxe, that would not be high risk.
Entourage Seasons 1 through 6 is considered high risk. "Back to School" - an older Rodney Dangerfield movie, is not.
And even some unbranded items, like USB Flash Drives, can be considered high-risk because sometimes they will say 16GB capacity, but in reality have only 2GB formatted to look like 16GB.
The longer your account has been established, and the higher your feedback rating, the easier it is to sell high-risk items. But even then, you can expect PayPal to ask you for supplier invoices if they are not sure about the authenticity of your items.
DHgate is a great place to check to see if what you want to sell is considered High Risk. Search for whatever you want to sell there, and if it is for sale, and has a brand name, or is copyrighted, it is considered high-risk.
