Price gouging - unable to sell some items

[englishgentuk]

Hi

I posted this query a few days ago and got an answer which i erroneously marked as answered, but im still facing the issue.

Im trying to sell an old gameboy game (Category: Video Games & Consoles > Video Games) and it is saying i cannot sell this item... "It looks like there's a problem with this listing. Because this item is susceptible to price gouging, it may be sold only by authorized sellers. Do not relist this item."

I have sold a fair few items, including some old gamegear games that are due to end today, so im not sure why im being blocked from selling this similar item. I would have thought i was an "authorised seller". 

Any advice appreciated.

Many thanks!

That message is usually associated with items of PPE which need approval from eBay to be listed, there must be a word in the title or item specifics which is confusing the bots making them think you're listing masks, hand sanitiser or somethng.

ahh ok thanks. It also may be because i used "sell one like this". i have since started from scratch and it works fine. thanks both.

'authorised sellers'

are registered business sellers who have been authorised to sell the item in question

if ebay have removed a listing and/or told you not to list it, you need to find somewhere else to sell it.

Censorship policies are applied so that no one new takes customers away from established companies. I believe this should take another focus, a legal one, this is not fare for the small retailer. Ebay+s main purpose is supposed to be that.
