I added offers to some of my listing's this morning and now they have policy violations

As the title says.  I go into the help section and it says I have none, but they are all marked as such and now hidden.  Removing the offer doesn't fix it.

7 of your listings have 'style' in the title - could that be the issue?
You are not allowed to say, for example, Chanel style, so maybe the bots are picking up that word?

Good spot,  unfortunately the first one on my violation list doesn't have style in the title.

I didn't use style in the one that has the violation that's the only difference in the description, and the fact I added offers to it this morning which tirggered the violiation.....

Unfortunately from Ebays point of view its either vintage or not hence why we think the words Vintage style may well be the issue.

 

Also some Brands (usually high end ones) do not allow their items to be sold on Ebay but only through their official retailers.

It doesn't have style in the description of the one that has violated.

I haven't been messaged/emailed to say I have violations either.  It feels like a bug,

You gave the above example of one of the listings which created a policy violation.

 

It may not have style in the description but it clearly states ' Vintage Style'. in the title.

 

As @1956glyn  says it's either Vintage or not  in eBay's eyes, and the word style in the title is not allowed. 

 

Traditonal pattern might be a better description that the bots would prefer.

That listing didn't trigger it as it would be hidden 😄  

 

I've just had an email.    It's in regards to 'selling outside ebay'.  My social media handle triggered it!   😄  Mystery solved.
