Adult restricted item category

Hi,
Looking for some help with my recent application to sell in adult section restricted items.

 

I was asked to make an application which I have done. I was told 3 weeks yet have heard nothing back.

Im sitting on stock which I would prefer not to have to take to a diffrent platform. As a long standing ebay member of over 20 years selling I would prefer to stay here but I do really need to get my stock moving.

Could some assist please as I do not seem to be getting anywhere with my enquiries which is a little frustrating.

Hopefully someone will see this and reach out with a solution.

 

Kind regards.

Hi marco@ebay

 

I have just received the message.... This is ridiculous.. it's like you escalated it, and some bot, or careless human, has simply gone.. decline.

 

I explained in my application that we have an account where we are top rated seller for 4 years called BTcarparts, where we sell car parts and some other items.  I explained that EBAY themselves suggested that I upgrade my personal private ebay account to a business account, open a shop on it, and submit an application to sell adult products on that account, so as to keep them separate from the car parts. (as obviously we can't have a car parts account selling adult products! Both accounts are linked with the same mobile number. (but different email addresses) but same ownership details. i.e. Me.

 

Please can you escalate this for the decision to be reviewed.  It is a staggering lack of customer care or service!

 

Thank you

 

Andrew

Hi joost.fun, thanks for your reply.

 

All applications are manually reviewed, and AI/bots would have nothing to do with the outcome of your application. As stated in the email you received, the outcome of your application could be related to multiple factors, and while we appreciate you'd like more information on it, we don't share all the details in order to prevent users from bypassing policies and/or procedures. The reasons listed in the email you received could be one of the reasons why you weren't approved, but it might not necessarily be the reason why your application was approved/denied.

 

Please note that we don't do appeals or anything like that on this over here, so I'm afraid that no further actions will be taken here, and the outcome will remain the same as stated in the response you received.

 

Thank you,

Marco

Thanks for your reply, fluxity

 

I'm sorry to hear that your application wasn't approved. As advised above, these applications are manually reviewed by an actual person, so applications won't get declined by an automated system. Please note that we only escalate pending applications, so users can receive an outcome. We don't go around the process to get applications approved, or find out denial reasons. I'm afraid that at this stage, we are unable to provide further information.

 

Thank you,

Marco

Unfortunatly you are not correct .

i have seen in the past there has been many upgrades of eBay in certain things and the customer service is not aware of it and rather then checking they paste the same pre written answer . There is now a new application process in place which automatically checks the application and give you the initial decision at spot . 
The selling practice part says I do not meet the requirements . I don't want to to come back as give me the same answer . I will attach a screen shot and you can check yourself .

Hi pharmacyfa716, thanks for your reply.

 

For privacy and security reasons, we could only action the account you're posting from. Since you are posting from an account, and your query is related to a different account, I'd suggest either posting from that account or contact customer service for further support.

 

Thank you,

Marco

Hi medicinecupboard, thanks for your reply.

 

I can see that you have received an outcome on your application already, so there is no need for us to escalate this for you. If you go to your eBay messages, you will see the outcome of your application.

 

Thank you,

Marco

Hi Marco

I have applied for approved seller status late last year and then again in February this year and have heard nothing. I have a transcript from an agent on 8th February when I was asked to re apply.

My ebay accounts go back decades with 100% good feedback. I already have a long standing shop davidbowiestore-com with 100% feedback and good standing.

I set up another ebay shop and id xratedgiftstore-com as I have aquired adult stock items inc lingerie and adult toys I sell via another medium.

I have the shop xratedgiftstore-com sitting empty and paying my shop fees at least since early February every month awaiting adult product approval ( just toys, games and lingerie, no vapes at all).

I have waited months and months paying my shop fees in anticipation and heard nothing.

I am a responsible long standing ebay seller, what do I have to do to get approved seller status so I can list in my ebay shop ???

Please help

Regards

David

Hi xratedgiftstore-com, thanks for your reply.

 

All you need to is apply for it. If you haven't received an update, I can escalate that for you, so your application can be reviewed. Just to make sure we are on the same page, the account you are applying from to sell these items is xratedgiftstore-com, correct? Or is it a different one? Please confirm exactly what was the account you used to apply. 

 

Thank you,

Marco

Hi xratedgiftstore-com, thanks for your reply.

 

I've just managed to check this for you, and there are no records of application for this account. However, nothing to worry about, the team asked me to share this link here with you, and apply again. They've confirmed that once you apply through that link, you will receive an outcome between today and Tuesday (Monday is a bank holiday).

 

Thank you,

Marco

Hi Marco@ebay, is it possible if you could look into my application please ? I’m expecting an explanation for my account being denied in the adult category even though I met all requirements. It’s very frustrating as I have lots of stock at hand. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind regards

Stuart

Hi stuie23, thanks for your reply.

 

Please note that we do not escalate denials or approvals, so I'm afraid this is not something we could assist with. If you wish, you can try contacting our customer service team for further assistance, but I cannot guarantee that they will be able to take any further actions.

 

Thank you,

Marco
