ebay keeps taking my items down for violation

Question

Ebay keeps taking my items down for hazard policy violations even thought ive been selling these products for years. they are also removing my model train track parts as a policy violation. what is going on? also my shipping of model paint has been making me lose money when ebay is charging me almost $8 for shipping a 2 oz package. this is totally unfair especially when other sellers still have their listings up.

Hi @warhawknm

With regard to your Bachmann track listings you need to drop the "BAC" from your listings in the title, description and item specifics (for part number). In certain contexts "BAC" is used an as abbreviation for hazardous chemicals.

While that may be part of the Bachmann part number you will need to exclude it in order to list the track. Other Sellers just use the part numbers after the "BAC".

What other listings have been removed for the hazardous materials liolation?

@warhawknm Adding to @mr_lincoln excellent answer... In regards to the shipping price that is NOT eBay's choice, the price increase is controlled by USPS. Be careful to ship items with a hazmat label if required or you risk a $50 fee from USPS.
