what is the brand you're selling, not asking out of nosiness but it might give us more of an idea why its happened as certain brands actively discourage the reselling of their items.

I'd rather not mention in case I get in more trouble I just leave it and not re-list.

Thanks

I remember when I wanted to sell my Von Dutch jeans and cap on eBay. At the time I hadn't even looked at the VERO programme. I just assumed that I bought them so I could sell them if I no longer wanted them. How wrong was I. The jeans got removed by eBay once and the cap got removed twice. Luckily the jeans sold but I just couldn't sell the cap on eBay. It ended up going in the bin.

I wouldn't risk relisting the items. I believe eBay can suspend you if you choose to relist items that they have told you are prohibited.

This is sound advice. Thank you. I have decided to learn from this lesson and not stock their items any longer.

Both the name and the image are the problem. if you relist without the name then your buyers might not find you and if the shop are watching your user id then they will probably contact you again or make a formal complaint to ebay.

If you wanted to risk it, and it isn't illegal to sell these items on, just against usual business practice, then your only option would be to attempt fast sales on a weekend when maybe the shop aren't monitoring the auctions. Go for BIN's with immediate purchase and just try and get rid of the things. It could still get nasty of course, if ebay listened to complaints then they could suspend you.

Again sound advice which I will take on board. Have decided not to relist the items and just leave it at that. Thank you so much for all your help.
