This is driving me insane.
I used to list SD modded Playstation 2 slim consoles. 0 games included. No pirated copies, not even originals.
Which as far as i know after reading the rules multiple times, are ok to list. They function just like a non modified FAT PS2 console.
After many very successful sales with satisfied buyers, ebay started taking down my listings and restricting my account.
The reason? Counterfeit items!
It is very clear from the photos that the consoles I list are real Sony PS2 consoles, with the serial number clearly shown in photos.
I have explained and proved to ebay support that my items are not bootleg or counterfeit, and they just stopped replying to my emails.
I just posted some regular PS2 consoles, and they got taken down in a matter of minutes, for the same false accusations. Definitely feels like a directed attack towards me.
Is there something i can do? Or should i just look for a better site that does not treat me like this and actually reads my emails?
Thanks.
ps. And no, the modification is not there to "allow video game consoles to play pirated video games" as the infringement policy says. And even if it was, the false accusations are counterfeit bootleg items.

Can you explain exactly what "modded" means?
Does it involve copying any copyrighted software (drivers, bios, boot, etc.) onto the machine from sone other machine ir disc?

If you are listing modded items as new, then that is the problem.

What is a modded PlayStation 2?
You took plain PlayStation's and changed their electronics?

No, not at all.
I'm adding a SD slot to the slim PS2 consoles, which functions identically to the HDD expansion bay on the FAT PS2 consoles. No piracy enabling software or anything like that.

I was listing them as "seller refurbished"

Probably EBAY bots have flagged these items for some crazy reason.
I would NOT relist these items. You may be permanently banned from selling on EBAY. If EBAY terminates your account...no explanation is given and you cannot appeal their decision.
