We have a product which is a foot decoration for babies. Could be for boys or girls.
They are commonly known as foot flowers. Also known as barefoot sandals.
They have two loop bands that wrap around the ankle and under the arch of the foot with an embellishment on top.
We have been listing these items in Baby > Baby Shoes for some time now.
There are many sellers predominantly from China who also list the same item types into this category.
They say they should be in Baby > Baby Clothing > Girls > Outfits, Sets. Seems wrong to me. The above seems a better match.
Today we received a policy listing violation notice that says they have ended our listing and threatened to close our account if we continue to list in this category. There are still several more of our items listed in this category as they have been for some time now. So far no messages about those.
There are some 33,000+ listings in this category and possibly many hundreds of these foot flowers.
I find this totally bizarre that we have been singled out while the many other sellers still have their items listed.
This has the potential to crash our already dismal sales because it is pa policy violation.
Is there any recourse for such actions by ebay? They are clearly inconsistent in the application of the rules. Is it because I post in here? Is it because I signed the petition?
Is it any wonder we want to leave ebay when you get treated this way. Seems like just another action that says ebay wants the small time sellers out of here.
