ok i'll try that.  search it tho- there are thosands of them. 


It is good to do research, but not good to solely depend on it.  In regards to your use of the word Barbie.  Yes there are all kinds of listing out there than use the name when they shouldn't and they don't get the listing closed.  However that is no insurance that they won't nick you for it.

 

I use to sell all kinds of Barbie patterns.  Books and leaflets.  I sold a series leaflets done by Annie's Attic that was specifically for Barbie dolls.  They were licensed and Barbie was pictured on the leaflets.  I still got nicked by Ebay once for a couple of patterns.  I had to take Barbie out of the title of all my patterns, yet other sellers selling the same thing did not.   There is not logical answer to how or when they do this.  It can happen to you at any time.

mam? ooak barbie- I just did a search? 17 thousand of them. 😄 


It is Russian roulette.  

 

OOAK is not your issue.  The word Barbie in the title is because you are NOT selling a Barbie product.   You are selling a Fashion Doll outfit.

hey Mam? yesterday or the day before i opted out of international shipping? glitch? i see no messages from ebay in the inbox.

how in the heck do you get to talk to a live agent? i did that a few months ago?


Why would you want to opt out of International shipping?  Using EIS we as sellers have very little exposure and Ebay takes on the vast majority of the risk to include return.

update. I called Ebay. The woman on the phone said everything is fine on my end.  i wonder where that email came from. It's not there now. 


Where did you get a phone number to call Ebay?   Don't EVER search the internet for the number as it will most likely be a scam site.  There are a lot of them out there.
