That's a pretty good turnover in a saturated category.
OTOH I'm not sure you can call those cases both "unbranded"and "iPhone 11" but I don't sell mass manufactured merch so others can correct me about the VeRO status.
This is in the listing (sub-title which I assume is inserted by eBay).
You are allowed to state what phone it fits since without that information it's totally useless to anyone.
Yes in the description but you are not allowed to use the brand name in the title, even if you say it fits. Just for clarity.

On (November 1) 4 months after the request to downgrade they deducted all 3 previous months and November, was eBay aware that my store was running for 4 months without paying them the fee ? I don't think so..
There are a few sellers selling the same type items I have but there is only seller selling a lot because of the promoted listings and lower prices, eBay will target your account whenever, now with the government suing them, this is going to get really ugly, worst than it's.......
What the DOJ is going after Ebay for has NOTHING to do with your complaints you stated above. Absolutely nothing.
You sell knockoff perfumes. You likely stay out of trouble with VERO because you don't say anything about the Brand name they are imitating.
"the DOJ sue was just a comment, just that, but obviously you didn't like that the info was included in a comment in the community "
Nope, I stated my reason clearly. It has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this thread. It really is as simple as that. Don't try reading more into what I post, you will likely not get it right.
"ALL the Store fees collected by eBay has always been used to promote listings on Google and with the promoted listings they use the pool of money to promote the more expensive items."
Unlikely. First in about early 2014 Ebay and Google had a big battle. Google wasn't showing our listings for a long time, the to big boys finally worked thing out.
Promoted listings started in about 2015 but until about 2021/2022 it wasn't used by many sellers. While more sellers now use PL, the majority of sellers still do not.
Something else you should be aware of about this Community of Forums. We are all suppose to be adults. Name calling is a school yard bully tactic and not welcomed here. We can and do have civil conversations all the time without resorting to that. Certainly we don't always agree on any given subject, but then that is certainly not a requirement. Not if you actually want to learn something new. If everyone only thought the way you do and did things the way you do, there would be no reason to even discuss anything because everyone has the same point of view.
You also don't have any right to tell who can post on a thread and who can not.

Then it may be something else you aren't considering. Not everything is Ebay's fault. Buyer shopping habits change from time to time and we all need to stay on our toes.
Maybe take this time to see if there might me any improvements to your title or ISBs [item specific boxes] you can make to enhance the searches. The Ebay search does take ISBs into consideration as well as the title.
Take a look at your shipping. Is it comparable to other similar items. Guessing that your item fully packaged weighs 6oz or less, the maximum you would pay with GA is $4.44. I'm not trying to pick on your or insult you, I'm trying to help. My guess on weight could be way off as I have no idea how your package your items.
