Question

Hello, my listing for Nike Air Max 95 OG shoes was removed because they were supposed to be replicas or unauthorized copies. I've already sold two identical units, and they were authorized at the center, and there was no problem. I'd like to know why the listing was suddenly removed, and there's been no contact with eBay. I submitted an appeal, but no one has responded. What's going on here?

What's going on here? One thing that's going on is that you're apparently avoiding payment of eBay's fees by presenting yourself as a private seller whilst selling as a business. Private sellers are restricted to selling their own, unwanted possessions. You may not have realised this, but buying new items to rsell on eBay is a business activity. It also means that you're denying your buyers their legal right to return items bought from busness sellers. eBay is now cooperating with HMRC to identify business sellers who are wrongly presenting themsleves as private sellers. If you think this may apply to you it would be wise to read eBay's policy on selling as a business, see: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/selling-policies/selling-practices-policy/business-seller-policy?id=4710&st=3&pos=4&query=Business%20seller%20policy&intent=business%20selelr&lucenceai=lucenceai&docId=HELP1375

Ebay are probably suspicious why a private seller is only selling new branded items. Also read VeRo at bottom of page to see brands that can report fake items.
