Hi,
Looking for some help with my recent application to sell in adult section restricted items.
I was asked to make an application which I have done. I was told 3 weeks yet have heard nothing back.
Im sitting on stock which I would prefer not to have to take to a diffrent platform. As a long standing ebay member of over 20 years selling I would prefer to stay here but I do really need to get my stock moving.
Could some assist please as I do not seem to be getting anywhere with my enquiries which is a little frustrating.
Hopefully someone will see this and reach out with a solution.
Kind regards.

Hi nihilist23,
Just a quick update on this, your application was approved, so all good. An email was sent to your eBay inbox with information that you need to know before listing, once you go through that email, go ahead and start your listings.
Thank you,
Marco

The sellers in this thread are in the same situation as you.
Some were helped some not.
Dave from the community team who was helping has gone so I don't know if there will be anymore help from them.

Yes, I tried Dave but then realised he was no longer active. Thanks for reply though.
Hopefully someone else will read this and be able to help.

Hi nihilist23, thanks for your post.
We appreciate the fact that you were told that you would get an answer on this within 3 weeks. However, this is currently taking 6-8 weeks. If you don't receive an update after that, please let me know.

Hi Marco,
I am yet to hear back after 6 weeks, any chance you can look into this for me?

Hi nirobi_store, thanks for your reply.
It is currently taking 6-8 weeks for these applications to get reviewed and get an outcome on them. If you don't hear back from them by the end of the week, please let me know here, and I will be happy to take a further look for you.
Thank you,

Hello,
can you please tell me if this policy applied to everyone if they put a application restricted category
if we talk about vapes

Hi marco@ebay
We too are having the same issue here. Out of desperation we have tried DM and opened a post in hope of someone helping.
Thank you

I'm sure there was talk about eBay not accepting any more applications for vape sellers but I have no source for this
It may be that they are ignoring you as vape sellers applications are no longer be accepted/processed
23-05-2024 2:37 PM
That would be ok had they just told the sellers. However, we do not wish to sell vapes. As a UK registered Pharmacy, we simply seek to sell Pharmacy Medicines, just as other Pharmacy sellers are.

See this guide and see if you comply with everything

23-05-2024 2:38 PM
Thank you @myriad*seller
Read that many times in the past months. We fully comply.

try asking for a call back tomorrow at 8am when you will be called by staff from Dublin who may be able to help you
Calling at any other time will just get you fobbed off with the answer you want to hear, but not actual action...

Thank you - will try this!
