5 easy ways to get banned from eBay


There is a big problem when you develop an eBay business. Even if it's your eBay business will always be calling the shots, you play by their rules or not play at all. In the past there have been cases of high-powered flying Sellers who for one reason or another, in the eyes of the mark up on eBay and have been temporarily or permanently banned.

eBay has a nice list of items and actions that are prohibited and it is your responsibility to know these things. Not knowing something was wrong is no defense. To find the list of prohibited and restricted items, you can visit the A to Z index site map and select the page prohibited or restricted the sale. So the first way to get banned is to try to sell an item on that list.

The second way to find himself in difficulty is to provide little or no customer service. This is a really good way to attract a negative feedback and once your comments falls below a certain level you can get a call from the lovely people on eBay who is suggesting a different platform to sell your products.

A third way to attract eBays sorrow is to list the items in the wrong categories. Sometimes sellers will try not to include an important element in a popular reality
category, such as cell phones, hoping to benefit from the traffic level.
Not a good idea.

The fourth way to fall foul of the system is to include links to your site to other web pages. There's only one place on eBay that you can include links at the start and that is on my page. The only exception to this rule is that you can place a link to a page that provides details about the item you are listing. If you sell a website you can include a link to a copy of that web site. However, you should disable any link on that page, like a button to order or any other link that you took from that page.

Finally, this may seem obvious, but you must have a real product to sell. In the past people have tried to market lottery tickets, catalogs, and free articles, but these are simply not allowed. Recently some vendors have tried to circumvent this obstacle by offering items for as little as 1Cent just to get the details of the customer so they can offer their items away from eBay below. They have recently started to pull these lists and eBay are obviously always wise to this maneuver.

Ebay offers an outlet for anyone very well, and recently it has been estimated that about one and a quarter of a million people around the world use eBay as their source of regular income. So it seems silly for anyone at risk of being excluded from this market, do not follow the rules .......
