I see people talking about account suspension...!

So, what is it that you do wrong?

An old saying comes into my mind...

If you have two similar length sticks and you want to make one short the first idea that crosses the mind is to make one short but what you actually need to do is make one long so the other automatically becomes short..

Think again see what wrong you did. Follow seller guidelines and do your own research. Learn and Sell. Be brave but honest.

Good luck

What you actually need to do is make one stick longer? An analogy that is physically impossible is not very helpful.

 

You should also understand that posting here does not improve your Ebay account in any way. Community posts here have nothing to do with your Ebay account and will not help to avoid suspension if you are doing something wrong.

Any guess what category would be best for selling sticks?

Or stick stretchers. I'm pretty clever, but let's get real.

 I believe Teddy Roosevelt said it best. "Speak softly and carry a big stick, so the other sticks look smaller".

@i_find4_u There are so many ways to get your account suspended we could spend days on the topic.

Sri Lanka

Well the laws where you live have a great deal to do with if you can sell or not. That is the first problem.

Then you have a great deal of eBay's rules, and seller criteria that must also be met.

 

Good luck.

You have two sticks of similar length but you want one shorter than the other.  To achieve that, you could cut one to the desired, shorter length.  You could not achieve it by making one stick longer, because that is not possible in the real world. 

 

So, color me baffled by this "old saying."

How do you make an existing stick longer?

The first idea that crosses my mind is that it is really, really hard to make an existing stick longer.

 

A lot depends on what the stick is made of. Maybe it's just me but I am still trying to figure out the OP's intent of that statement.
