      Listing rejected because no human looked at it
               

      I created a listing for an otoscope/ophthalmoscope. There are several listings for the identical product, but my listing has been rejected for violating the medical device policy. These are not used by patients, nor do they require a prescription. They are not invasive. I tried talking with the customer service bot, and asked for someone to call me. Nobody ever does. This is SO frustrating. Any advice?

      Protecting Minor Policy

      I have been selling on eBay for about two years. My primary items are collectible Playboys. I have always gone to great lengths to be tasteful with my posts. However, I have been getting policy violations that eBay calls "Protecting Minors" policy. I know that none of the images that I am posting are of minors. However, the violations have continued and, despite my best efforts, I still get violations and have gotten suspended. I talked to an agent, they stated that I should ad into my listings a policy compliance notice. I did that, it didn't work. I have obscured every part of every person to the point that the pictures are useless from a marketing standpoint. I have appealed and presented cases including ages that prove models are of age. I still keep getting these unwarranted violations and worry that it will cause my account to be banned. Can someone help me with this, please? Thanks in advance!

      Account restriction will not clear after resolution, confirmed technical issue, SR# 1-507420144882
                                               

      I'm a Store seller and my account has been restricted since July 28. Payouts are on hold at over $27,000 and all 66 of my listings are hidden, roughly $650,000 in inventory. The restriction was triggered by an item-not-received request on order 25-14881-24014. That case (5383991110) was reviewed by eBay and closed on July 30 with no refund to the buyer, because the watch was in transit to eBay's own Authenticity Guarantee center at the time it was reported missing. Eight days later, every restriction is still in place. I have completed order tracking on all 13 flagged orders. Multiple representatives, including Authenticity Guarantee (SR# 1-507420144882), have confirmed my account is verified and in good standing and that the remaining restriction is a technical issue on eBay's side. It was escalated to the technical team on August 5 under ticket 1-507631197031. I have had no contact from that team and was told resolution could take up to three months. My Seller Hub currently displays a blue banner thanking me for resolving my open issues directly above a red banner telling me to resolve my open issues. Screenshot attached. Can a moderator please attach my account to the relevant technical ticket or route this to someone who can clear the flag manually? Every day of this costs real sales.

      Listing locked

      I have a listing I want to revise, specifically by using the background removal tool on the photos. There is a lock symbol on the photos and a message: Certain details can't be changed due to the current status of your listing. Hovering over the lock, a pop-up says "Sorry you cannot revise your listing if a bid or an offer has been made on it " This is not an auction, it is "buy it now," and the "make offer" toggle is turned off. It has been this way for a couple of days, maybe longer, and I did not realize it. There have been no notifications that any offer or bid was sent for the listing. What options do I have?

      Single Same Item Sold Twice to Separate Buyers

      Bottom line, after a great deal of sleuthing, I've discovered that an item was sold to a buyer, paid for, and shipped, after the very same item was already sold, paid for, and shipped to another buyer. Ebay "resolved" the issue based on the second buyer's message that they "did not receive their item" as denied and no appeal possible. My mistake that I sent the wrong item. Buyer's "mistake" that they used the "did not receive item" instead of clarifying that they received the wrong item. (Likely due to the few "select" choices). Somehow, the same Ebay item remained listed even after it sold. Help! How can I resolve this? I want to refund my second buyer and do not want them to be charged for return shipping. Is there a way to work with Customer Service after a closed Appeal?

      Item Description is in Red - what does that mean?

      I have two items out of 5 being sold by auction whereby the item description is in red. What does that mean if there is something to fix, how will I know what needs to be fixed?

      Ebay Media Catalog photos not size compliant
               

      I had this issue with Inkfrog & now again with the 3DSellers app. I reported it to eBay before Inkfrog shut down and nothings been done. Scheduled DVD & Media listings using eBay's own Product Catalog photos fail with this error: Publish failed at 2026-07-04T04:55:21.169Z (scheduled for 2026-07-04T04:54:08.226Z, delay 73s): #21919137 The resolution for provided picture(s) does not meet eBay's Picture Policy requirements. Please only use pictures that are at least 500 pixels on the longest side. I use the eBay catalog feature because 95% of my media inventory is new & unopened. Both apps referred me to eBay. I don't have time to provide my own media photos - that's the point of using the Catalog stock photos. Anyone else have this and what's your workaround?

      Return policy kickback

      I’ve tried twice to list a couple of fittings for a boat. I keep getting kicked back because of return policies, it says, after I have offered a return. Can’t get a message to anyone but AI and they’re giving me nothing but lists to look through and waste more of my time. I into this for 30+ minutes and have gotten nowhere but the unaccepted draft.HELP!
