      I agree! You might consider changing your EB store name and never give it out. You can use your old name (or similar) and just list a few key items on a small, free EBay account. I’ve noticed several other RUclipsr’s doing this. It only takes a couple complaints to give you headaches. There are many spoilsports out there. Good luck and keep fighting the good fight, Kevin. You would be a great spokesman for ‘the consumer,’ as well as the resellers!

    The biggest issue with relisting the matches is that it doesnt really matter what the people said on the phone, you can get another strike on it again. Ebay doesnt communicate even with itself and as a 20+ year seller on EBAY its pretty terrifying you can get banned for life in a heart beat. I have thought about quiting and going full time many times but the threat of EBAY randomly banning me out of nowhere makes me stay at my job.

    I agree with you about the government regulations. None of these laws are ever passed with the concern of the little guy in mind, no matter how subversively they try and rationalize the concepts. More and more there seems to be a concerted attack on small business owners of all sorts, especially over in Canada in the name of "climate regulations". So it usually does come in a slow creep.
    You bring up a good point about shoplifting basically becoming decriminalized. It's almost a form of anarcho-tyranny where all the rights and concerns go to the criminal while the government takes the boot to the law abiding citizens.

    I’ve seen people who record the whole process of packing a jewelry item including showing the purity stamps and makers marks, because of how much people got away with chargeback scams. And once they told eBay that they’d filed a police (or FBI) report for theft, they were given the option by eBay to attach a video file. They then attached the entire video of them putting the item in the jewelry box, putting the jewelry box in the shipping box, taping it up, and addressing it. Only then did eBay honor the “seller protection”.
    You have to threaten them with law enforcement I guess. They’ve already been big time sued and some of the CEO’s were jailed.

    My boring reseller life had this happen to him a lot recently. What he noticed the similarities of the ones being taken down were items that have the logo of a brand but then the maker of the hat or item is unbranded. So he had Budweiser hats shirts that were promo items but the maker of the items were different or unbranded. It doesn’t mean they are counterfeit or fake. The new Ai system is very flawed. But it could be many reasons.

    Kevin Unplugged - this is one of my favourite videos of yours because it's raw truth spoken eloquently (I'm nowhere near as polished as a speaker). I too would like to be a part of the solution if ebay were open to it - they really need to start actually listening to us sellers. I just want to resell and when I feel like that is being threatened unjustly my claws come out, especially when 98% of resellers are good honest people but punishments can be levied that don't suite the perceived crime. I kinda owe you an apology as I used to think you had some sort of deal with ebay months back when some of your videos seemed like public announcements when there was clearly something going on behind the scenes. And if these timeouts, counterfeit claims and payment holds without any explanation can happen to you then can happen to anyone which is why every sellers needs to pay attention to what is going on, voice their opinion that can create change that is win win for ebay, buyers and sellers. All the best and thanks for using your platform the way you do. ~jeff

    I’ve recently had an issue with eBay over a buyer making a false claim where they broke the item and when I told eBay I could send them proof they said they can’t take it and just refunded the buyer the 326 dollars. I asked what they do to protect the sellers and they had no answer. I then asked them what stops a person from buying a 1000 dollar video like Rule of Rose on ps2 getting the item and putting a damaged copy of the game in the case and saying it was damaged when received and sending it back. They said there is no protection for that happening and they can’t side with the buyer or seller yet they do side with the buyer and the seller is now out 1000 dollars. It’s just crazy eBay doesn’t wanna really protect the sellers who make eBay because with sellers there is no eBay. I really hope you get this fixed and they start to actually do their jobs and investigate these matters.

    I definitely agree with you regarding over regulation. i think this is also related to right to repair. Big business and their money is behind a lot of regulation. Once we own an item we should have the right to sell and or tinker with it.

    Wow, just wow. I absolutely miss the golden days of my first sales in the early 2000s. EBay provided the website as the host and took a fair commission. The seller provided items and customer service. Today eBay is the corporate micro manager of your sales gig, sets the rules, invokes terms, and is the judge dictator passing judgement ultimately deciding whether you get to continue with them. Need guidance or have a situation? eBay intentionally makes it hard to reach any service representative of value.
    Craigslist is ancient but fortunately my items fit pretty well into their platform. I am 50/50 on my ebay / Craigslist sales now and successfully growing my CL efforts. Years ago it was 99/1 in favor of eBay. Next year I'm shooting for 75 of my sales as I back out of eBay.

    I had an item that was taken down. However, I had it listed for a while. Listed it about 3-4 months ago. Did a sell similar and it got taken down. About 2-3 weeks ago. Weird. Said it was for chemical reasons but it's from the 1930's and it's empty. Go figure.

    Places are filled with inexperienced workers who have a god complex, or everyone is working short staffed. I’m sick of working for and with these kinds of people. No logic. No idea of real life. Thankfully this didn’t cost you like the last episodes. I had an episode happen in 2010 where they took off ALL my items. For good. I never was able to recover. I quit. I didn’t start up again for ten years. Now I find that sales are just plain slow.

    I think you’re on eBay’s radar. Or, just like promoted sellings, you’ve been bumped up toward the top of appearances. In this instance, eBay probably randomly checks for this and that. You’ve been dinged and now you’re a hot commodity. My guess is it started with a disgruntled buyer and/or viewer. It’s a tough break. I’m sure this should blow over, but sucks while it’s going on.

    Someone's reporting you for sure. I seen people hating on resalers who do RUclips on Reddit and they sounded so bitter. Some said they noticed some don't put their stores name in their video description. Or anywhere on their media (some said to hide they don't make as much/they sound so bitter always) - Another I thought was probably solid was the one who said because people who are just mad at them will report an attack them. Sounds like someone is jealous and on the hunt for you to me. At least it doesn't sound like you are as targeted or hated as hairy tornado on Reddit they literally trash him a ton thru out. Though I've seen you mentioned more than once too.

You have to cross every "T" and dot every "I" and then look over your shoulder a few times, and hope you didn't violate even the slightest or smallest policy or you will be suspended for weeks. I have even been told that I have to take a picture of the inside of the empty box (greenie stick'em caps display case boxes) ...and they still took them down and suspended me. I have been a seller since 1997...I call them at least once a week...sometimes more...good luck

    It's a business. Many people like you are doing this to make a living or partial living. I myself found out that you can have 100% or near perfect feedback and you get suspended. Also, if you get strikes against you if your a smaller seller it takes a YEAR for them to go away. Of course if your suspended they don't not charge you for your store! LOL. They don't care if they destroy you. They don't care about you at all. It used to be they backed the sellers now it's like Credit Card Companies. They always side with the customer not the dealer. I had a repair for shop for years have a 90 day warranty and a year later I'd get charge backs and I can give all the evidence including customers signing that yes they had my 90 day warranty and still never one any of those because they want the customers interest me well just eat it. With you it's the same they can beat you close you cost you money, oh gee deal with it.

  • @williamsampson4926
    @williamsampson4926 Год назад

    Yes, and if your a small seller you fall below their standards and as you said no appeal. You can't do anything. And again if your small takes a year for that strike to go away. So get two more (if your small) even if your right, ooops to bad your gone. Oh in 8 months one will drop off just do things in the future more carefully LOLOLOLOL

    They did it to me too on Friday. Holding funds. I had a sculpture break in shipping and they guy went berserk. I sold a big ticket jewelry item and had to cancel the item because buyers address was a PO. And someone made a mistake purchasing and wanted to cancel. So ebay has my funds on hold but I can still sell. Well I’m not going to sell while they “review” my account. I put my store on vacation while they decide to figure this out. I’ve been a seller since ebay was invented and full time seller the last 4 years.

    This reminds me of a NIKON camera lens I was trying to sell. Ebay took it down and told me the reason was because I offered shipping to Europe. They said I could relist it as long as I did not offer to ship it to Europe. Apparently I do not have the rights to sell it in Europe, but it is OK within USA.

    They said they would get it submitted for me to relist, and to wait for notification to relist. Not a peep

Well before we could discuss it ebay sent her a message telling her why she shouldn't buy it. Well the way I looked at it was the item is mine, they took it down , why are they trolling my account. If I wanted to sell it why can't I? Yes we're treated like criminals.

    You do realize that drug people use the matchbook strikers to make crystal methamphetamine. They somehow can extract a chemical needed to create the drug, from match strikers (not the match itself but the strike part). I don't remember where I heard this from but it could very likely be the real concern ebay has. I believe the chemical is called phosphoric acid or something close to that name.
