Duplicate listing?

[bigmoose1]

this is ridiculous ebay says I have duplicate listings however its 2 different Rosetti handbags, can't they see the difference?

The bots are just seing your identical titles.  Add some descriptive words to make better use of those 80 title spaces.  Perhaps "blue" or "flowers".

Your thinking ebay has people sitting & looking at your purse listings & can see the difference?
It's bots & your going to have many more removed like joe boxer & all the others because your titles are to vague.
Joe boxer  handbag Butterflies , Joe Boxer handbag Animal print
womens handbag how many of those are listed? they will all be looked at as dupe listings
You really need to fix those titles, each dupe they remove puts you closer to losing selling privileges here

Wanted to add , all those Titles are hurting your auctions dupe listing auctions won't show in search until the first of the dupe auction gets a bid, so it's important to work your titles, your wasting those auctions there not being shown.
fixed dupes will get pulled down

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-multi.html
Listings are considered duplicates if they are for items that have no significant difference between them, or if the listings appear to be for the same item in search results. To prevent your listings from being treated as duplicates, make sure you clearly show the differences in the title

Change price, change the titles a bit (even adding A, B, C) can help.

Bots look for at least 2 things similar then flag the listings... so many flags and you get suspended from selling for so many days... 2nd offense more days, 3rd offense and they tend to ban you permanently from selling.

You have 4 listings titled Womens Handbag.

They have identical descriptions.

The pictures are irrelevant.

These listings will be counted as duplicates by the bots. Computers see a picture as a long series of digits, not as a picture, so the bots aren't built to "see" your pictures.

That fact is why the occasional security use of a capcha PIN you see are PICTURES of the numbers/letters you have to enter. A program trying to get past the capcha PIN can't because it doesn't know what the letters/numbers are.

It's also why it's a policy violation to have text in a description posted as a picture of the text.

They are in the process of taking down hundreds of my listings as duplicates because the photo is the same. After 2 1/2 hours on the phone with 7 different non-english speaking reps, they said I need to change my pix. One item with different titles is a no no..even different  sizes with the same pix! Last rep said I was working around the system. I am beside myself! Any bright ideas?

i am having the same problems and ebay customer service is a joke . they cant even tell me how to fix it.  i got an email about it a month ago. the customer service rep told me it was a spoof email and i had nothing to worry about. sems to me they think that they can afford to loose multi million dollar accounts and stay in business. we all need to protest this and make ebay pay fot the millions in lost revenue they are causing .  without sellers ebay is nothing

Working my titles is the answer customer service gave me.... but please tell me.... if I have over 300 different blue stripe shirts.... and 200 blue plaid shirts...  there are not enough adjectives on the planet to describe these shirts differently!  If a human eye looks at the photos... they are clearly different shirts.   But they are being taken down!!!  I have word smithed everyway I know how.... Pin stripe, thin stripe, listed the additional colors etc.  Please help me understand how to word smith a title 300 different ways????

ABCDEFG then if you have more go A1 B1 put that at the end of the title...
