eBay

Good morning and sorry for the vent!

First a little background. I have been in couture retail/marketing for over 30 years and on eBay for 17 years. I sell all high end and have not changed the way I list my postings in 17 years, other then the overall look.

Last week I received notice that two of my item that were listed as Miu Miu Prada were removed for name spamming. I called eBay and explained that Prada owns Miu Miu (The Owners Name Is Miucciuse Prada) and often refers this way in their stores and items. I also pointed out that there were almost 2,000 listings this way on eBay. That said I changed the titles on my listings to remove the Prada.

Then two days ago I get suspended for three days for posting Cole Haan Nike Air shoes. I called again and this time I was told I would receive a call back as they had to go higher up for advice. They called me back and said they would reinstate me but I had to relist them without the Nike Air name. As of last night I had yet to be reinstated and had to call again. Also, as of this morning there exactly 7,152 Cole Haan Nike Air listings.

This morning I Posted a Miu Miu wallet. In the body of the listing it does say Miu Miu Prada. Again, Miu Miu is a Prada company. Shortly after I listed this I was suspended again for another three days. In the meantime, as of this morning there are now 2,049 listings of Miu Miu Prada items. This is absolutely crazy!!

However, last week I reported 6 Hermes bags being sold as Authentic, yet they were fake. I have spent over 30 years in the Retail business and they were very clearly copies. As of today, non of them have been removed!

It is time for ebay to stop tagging the good guys and start going after those that are really causing the issues on ebay! Everyday I go on my ebay facebook pages and buyers complain about false returns that ebay supporter the buyer over, and/or fakes being sold that continue to get sold over and over. Ebay start going after the bad guys and leave those that us good guys go! Guess the thousands of dollars I have made for ebay does not count for anything!

Here is what EBay should do even though they have a GO ZILLION RULES it's usually for the good of most. Sellers with high end items should be forced to ask sellers for copies of their products to show legitimacy and authenticity. That would cure many problems and perhaps create a better working machine that is Ebay but now it would save on all the claims and will evacuate the thieves cons etc. Food for thought! Yes its a shame that hard working people have to waste time constantly for problems that shouldn't exist for have existed in the past with no resolve. I wish i could live in California and get a job with Ebay as i think i can think of things that will benefit all

I am downgrading my store tomorrow to a basic store. The one good thing the suspension did was give me time to look into other selling sites. I am so incredibly sad that I have to take that leap. I have been loyal to ebay for 17 years.

I am so sorry. I know both the brands they hit you with. It is legit to list them as you did. I just don't understand what they think they are doing any more. Sales down the toilet, no matter what you do. People wanting everything for nothing, which is what they have been taught.

I just try to avoid thinking about it and do my best to sell. Good luck to you, sincerely.
