Single use plastics (SUP) | Selling

Yet another AI tool used by eBay that is completely and utterly useless and is another inconvenience that is driving sellers off eBay. I completely understand that these items must be banned but at least use technology that is adequate. In the last two days I have had two sets of metal spoons removed under their SUP policy!! They don't even have "plastic" in the title and the description makes no mention of plastic, naturally, as they are metal!! I then have to waste even more of my time appealing in order to get the listings restored. This, along with their stupid bladed items policy is driving me up the wall. I have been selling on eBay for over 22 years and used to love it but now I absolutely hate it but eBay just don't get it.I recently wrote to the head of eBay UK about another stupid decision to make sellers pay 50% of a return even if the item is exactly as described and the reply I had was all about buyers, buyers, buyers, not a single mention about sellers. Apparently my feedback will be passed on but we all know that that is absolute rubbish, they can't stand sellers. They have hung us all out to dry and what with everything I cannot wait to leave. 22+ years of having my custom and they couldn't care less. The way eBay UK is run is absolutely shambolic and it is common knowledge that eBay worldwide has lost 7 million active sellers in the last 10 years and it is little wonder. All they care about is their buyers and their shareholders, they couldn't give a damn about sellers, they offer us absolutely nothing and the way we are treated is absolutely abhorrent!
