eBay box break policy application needs changing
eBay needs an application process for wanting to do box breaks. I’ve been told as of now they just send random emails to people. I see brand new accounts that are able to do box breaks.

Yes, eBay does allow pre-approved sellers to do box breaks ... BUT ...
only if the buyer receives the complete box. So that isn't really a box break, as the card collecting community defines it.
Basically, even pre-approved sellers are not allowed to do a box break as such, because they have to follow eBay's definition of "box break" which is not a box break at all.

·2 years agoSince chance listings are not allowed, I'm surprised they allow those bow breaks.

·1 year agoThey turn a blind eye to mystery boxes of costume jewelry too. -The sellers use photos of piles of jewelry in the listings but it's not the same jewelry that will come in the box, just allegedly "representative" (judging by a lot of the feedbacks, it's totally NOT representative, LOL).
It's a really stupid, sneaky and lazy way of doing things, so I'm not the slightest bit "jealous" of them for getting away with it; I just hate how much search results page space they take up. ESPECIALLY since some of them have an absurd number of duplicate listings, which is also against policy.
