    Offering to buy or sell outside of eBay policy... I thought I fixed it? When is it re-evaluated?
                     

    I'm listing this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/177250381868

     

    It's for a Grand Piano.

     

    I had two external links in my listing description. One to a Google Photo album with a couple more pictures and videos (just over a minute).

     

    The other was a link to a person selling a similar piano for over 2x the price - just to show that mine was a bargain.

     

    I think that might have been the problem, but to be safe, I removed BOTH external links and republished it.

     

    It still says it has a policy violation.

     

    Do I just need to wait a day, or what? Is it something else? If so, what?

     

    As an aside, if I sell it on eBay for say $16,000 what would the commission be to eBay?

     

    Thanks!

    John

     

    Note: I've listed it on Facebook for months and had interest but no sale. A friend suggested I try eBay. That's legal right? Using both? I read in your FAQ that it was.

    It is never a good idea to list the same item on 2 different platforms at the same time.  If the item sells on one platform, you will need to end the listing on the other platform ASAP in avoid any problems.

     

    If the piano sells on ebay, your FVF will be as follows:

    • 13.6% on total amount of the sale up to $7,500 calculated per item
    • 2.35% on the portion of the sale over $7,500
