Hi everyone
I recently saw some videos on Youtube on mystery boxes. I thought it was an interesting idea. But then when I looked at the selling policies of Ebay, I saw that these kind of boxes are forbidden to sell because the items included aren't specified. I do get why, because it can be abused by con artists who earn a lot by it and then the seller gets nothing in return.
But I do really like the idea and I think it could be a fun experience for a customer if the value is equal or more than the selling price. So I started thinking if there was a possibility to go forward with this idea, but to not break the rules of ebay.
The selling policy says a seller needs to describe what's inside. Would it be possible to sell themed mystery boxes with fixed items which will be described in the listing. Like saying what an item would be, but not go in detail, otherwise there's no mystery. Like for example on one of the fixed items stating that it's book, giving a genre, the amount, the condition but not the title.
And then also the possibility for bonus items, but the item and amount depending on the size of the box. But again to not break the rules, describe it as the fixed items. Does that make sense? And if so, would it then be allowed to sell?
Thanks in advance! 🙂
