Item removed by ebay

vasseur

Last weekend I listed some Pandora boxes and bags and after about 20 mins I had my first bid however, shortly after that ebay removed the listing saying I had violated the T&C.

I (now) understand why they did this (counterfeit items could then be more easily sold and also something about not being allowed to sell items that you haven't previously been charged for) but a quick search of the site reveals that there are quite a few people listing the same things.

Why was my listing removed and theirs weren't?

The OP was selling empty boxes and the concern is that these could be purchased by someone who has counterfeit goods to sell.
A boxed Pandora fake would be more likely to sell (or sell for far more money) than an unboxed one.

Yes I realised that, I was asking if the empty boxes were fake ones.

Your boxes were probably removed because someone reported them,the others may not have been reported yet.

Exactly the same thing happened to me this time last year. It seemed unfair when other listings were still running. I was going to try again this year, but perhaps I'd better not......

No mine were all genuine. I was just having a clear out as we are moving. I just wondered why others were still appearing listed while mine had been removed.

Someone probably reported yours. Most likely another seller of the same.

It depends how strong your account is to. The people listing them may be powersellers with 5 years history selling pandora.

Its not worth selling any heavily faked items on ebay. Ebay bots often flag it and shut it down. Then you have a violation against your account.

ebay rely on other members to report suspicious items, but this also gives free reign for competitors to have competition removed.

The OP isn't selling fakes.

Can I suggest you don't sell any fakes on ebay!
