Please Help!!! Ebay is stupid?

Well the company cant do anything if your purchasing items wholesale for resale. Unless you are using thier pictures instead of your own. Which company is it and explain in more detail. We may be able to give you better advise.

Somepeople use them from home. They can check their work email on the weekend. Do the headers show what time or day it came on?
Your right though, it sounds a little fishy. Copyright infringements should be taken care of on letter head. If you contact those people be sure to copy in Ebay so they know what you did. This way they can see you are trying to correct the problem.
It could just be a ticked off competitor.

Ask the experts at Ebay. If you copy them in on the correspondence you would think you would be OK but, if you only make a little and the other guy makes a lot, who do you think they will side with. Be careful.

First off if you purchased this item from a liquidator or an authorized wholesaler you have the right to resell the item on ebay or any other way. When you buy items of this nature you have resell rights without any needed permissions or proof.

One question. Is there another seller selling the same item. If this item is a niche item that has only 1 seller selling it. Then it may be they are trying to put you down before you get to big and take away thier sales.

I did this not too long ago with slendertone products. I was selling replacement pads I bought direct from the manufacturer of thepads.I was the only seller that offered them. I started because I sold extra pads I had laying around and found out they were a hit on ebay. I was selling them 1 by 1 selling 2 per day for around $57.00 per package. It only cost me $4.99 to aquire them. I think it was a salehoo member that knew my username that caught on to my niche. They flooded ebay with the items and dropped thier prices so low they werent even worth listing. I should have reported that member to ebay and had them shut down. Because I knew they werent buying them from the manufacturer. If I had done this I probably would still be selling that item.

Another question. What do i do about the guy who paid for his headphones but the auction got cancelled. Do i still send the headphones or will the payment be withdrawn by ebay soon?

Like you say, eBays stupid and a law unto them selves. Its us guys who suffer...

HI it is the first time i have used this so iam not sure how it works but i was selling some things on ebay and making good profits but the other day my account was suspended for infringing trademark and copyright. i had no warning of this and did not know it could happen i had been selling these products since the summer but my account was only suspended on tuesday i bought the items from a wholesaler what should i do ?? (p.s. i used all of my own pictures in the listings)

I put in a listing from a drop shipper, I copied and pasted the description of the product straight from the site. I was contacted by a companies lawfirm and told the term used in that description was a trademark, and please remove the item so that they would not take legal action.

I was not actually giving the item this name of course it was just a term of description. I did have to remove it and change the header of my listing.
Silly!

When writing a descrition use 5 (or 6) main techniques.

Create hope, cause a sense of urgency, create fear, appear unbiased, appear as an authority and if you want, encourage people not to buy your product until they've tried everyhwere else and failed.

wagtraging, your offering fab information, but why are you running on a free websites, it doesnt make your products look good.

You will increase your sales by simply moving to a cheap hosting company and some only charge $3 per year.

I don't really have to many products. However i would like to know would 5 or 6 different kinds of products be worthy enough of creating its own site? If so that might be something i would look into.

Hi

I just try to find alternative to ebay and as you advised ebid.

I registered with them yesterday then try to upgrade to seller+ after that try to re-login found that the account get hold :D .

So really a good start, leaving suspension with ebay and going to hold with ebid.

I think it becomes a new 2008 fashion holding and suspend the sellers accounts.

Thanks

CHECK TO SEE IF THE MESSAGE CAME FROM EBAY!!!!!!! If there is no duplicate email in your messages file on ebay, DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING IN THAT EMAIL. This is a scammer trying to get your personal info. Report it to Link hidden: Login to view

I get dubious emails all the time, usually trying to say I never sent their laptop. Again, if no duplicate message in ebay, total scam!

Good question. How do you deal with a suspended account?

Yes but don't they cross check address, phone #'s, credit cards or PayPal accounts?

What are the work arounds?

The only real winner will be ebay, do you really think they care about their sellers?

If they cared where their revenue came from, they would look after sellers rather than penalise them.

The ONLY way to make eBay sit up and take note would be for a month long boycott from 90% of sellers. This would hit them hard, were it hurts - in the pocket! :twisted:
