Unless selling on Ebay has to be exclusive how do Sellers manage selling on another site before Ebay ?. Seems the issue Ebay have is that on two occasions over 20 years I have had to cancel a sale because the item sold on another site at the exact same time . (I cannot prove this but I suspect it was the same buyer on Ebay and a 2nd selling site). I list most of my items on 7 selling sites and until this year there has been no issue. I have been refunded dozens of times over the years when items have been out of stock. I see listing which have "out of stock" marked on them . And I know for a fact that Seller sell the same items on multiple sites. I have been told that I in someway made defects to my account and I had done so 7 times in one year. I cannot see evidence of that from my selling history. Yes on 4th November I had to cancel as the simple delivery Postage label sent was for a 0.5kg parcel when the jacket weighed 4Kg. It was listed with free postage and before simple delivery I would have just bought Royal Mail postage online.Yes on 24th November I had to cancel as one of the set was damaged which I did not know at the time of listing.Yes on 3rd December a bottle of fragrance sold on another site and when I went on Ebay to delete the listing it had also been sold. ( I think that was the same buyer on both sites). But how was that reason to stop me selling altogether ?. When I tried to ask the customer service agent if it was against the rules to sell on multiple site or if selling on Ebay was exclusive or why in my experience listings showed "out of stock" the agent just blanked me and instead of answering just typed " Are we still connected" then " as you have no other enquiries for me I am ending this chat 3 accounts starting from 2001 and no problems until now !!
