Conterfeit items

[rkslots]

I am new to ebay and just placed an advert for some VW Whhel Centre Caps .  shown as unbranded  as  the  I  assume  that  , at  the  cost  I  paid ,  they  would  not  be  genuine  VW.  Ebay  have  suspended   this  advert  as  infringing the  counterfeit policy    and  yet  there are  hundreds  of  similar  adverts  i.e   same  item  at  selling  prices  that are  not  likely  to  be  genuine  VW  -   how  are  they  allowed  to  run  but  my  advert is  suspended?

If your listing is removed or hidden by eBay, you may see similar listings still active on the site. This could be for a few reasons:

There may be differences between the other listings that aren't obvious

The other sellers may be a rights owner or authorised retailer of the item

A participant in the VeRO Program may have asked us to remove your listing but hasn't requested the other listing be taken down.

These types of removals are only done at the request of the VeRO participant, and aren't eBay's decision. Read more about the VeRO Program  there's a link at the bottom of most eBay pages.

Your listing was reported to eBay, but the other listings weren't.  Once spotted and reported like yours was,  if they break as selling reg,  they too will be removed.  eBay rely on members too,  to report.  There's a report ( 3 vertical dots)  button on every listing.

eBay don't allow fakes to be sold.

you cannot sell VW items if they are not VW.
