Ebay is removing my genuine secondhand items

[rkeith1935]

Hi Ebay is removing my genuine used listings. The times removed are all genuine second hand items with a full description of the condition of the item. I have a large number of items in my store and I am a registered second hand dealer. All my items are used and I am concerned that this will deletion of my listings wil continue.  I have spent hours on the phone and online chat with no luck. Has there been a change in the Ebay marketplace?  Regards Greg

They removed some second hand car parts. I have never had this problem before in over 15 years on ebay.  If this continues I think I will  need to close the store and look at other platforms

Do they relate to the brand that will supposedly have you jumping for joy

Sorry to hear about your situation.. You don't need this.

Listing removals have been a bit rough lately. We've had the following the past 2 months

2 Items removed for "item location violation policy" (No idea why we aren't a drop shipper)
1 Item removed that we have been selling for 2 years for "product safety violation" somehow an EU product that was not the same looked the same ??? go figure?
3 Vero removals for items we have been selling for the past 5 years.

All I can suggest is change your wording a bit, maybe say this GENUINE off a X car or mess with the branding stuff.

I am betting they are Toyota and Subaru listings. Possibly a few other brands may also pay third party companies to police their brand on ebay and remove listings they dont like. 

Anytime you mention a brand name add "for" before the name. Like For Toyota Hiace. You can sell genuine parts and still have them removed as many brands are counterfeited so these companies will have them removed and there is nothing you can do. I have contacted them about this with mention they came from Government surplus but still they will not change their mind.

If you get too many listings pulled ebay will hide your listings for a week. If it is in fact certain brands only change the titles and add "For" before the brand name and you will be ok.

Thank  you very much. I will try adding "For" before the brand name.
