IKEA hand puppets listing removed

[daisyfandaisy]

Hi, I've just had my listing for IKEA hand puppets removed because eBay says I "haven't met certain requirements to list baby toys" however all the reasons they've mentioned don't apply, I've sold over 100 items in the last year, my account is above standardetc... Im really confused and have appealed.  Anyone had this issue, thanks.

There was an announcement recently. You have to be a business seller to sell baby toys now.

It may well be due to eBay's recently introduced restrictions on the sale of baby toys; they can now only be listed by 'eligible sellers', which eBay defines as UK-registered businesses, and you are registered (incorrectly, judging by the number and variety of items you've have both listed and sold) as a private seller.

The Product safety policy (https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/prohibited-restricted-items/products-require-preapproval-policy... ) details items which are either prohibited on the site or the sale of which is only permitted by specific sellers. Toys for babies is one of those restricted categories:

Hope this helps.
