What is an epid?

Hi ducatimondo, thanks for your post.
That would be a product ID number, esentially speaking. It means eBay product ID.
Thank you,
Marco
Welcome back Marco,
Thank you for your reply.
Is that like a product identifier then, so if 2 items have the same epid, then eBay consider them to be the same item?
Thanks
Russ
Thank you, ducatimondo.
Yes, that is the number linked to our catalog. Unless the seller selects the same item from our catalog, the numbers would be different, but that would be the seller's responsibility when entering the correct details.
Thanks,
Marco
Thank you for your reply Marco.
You seem to have added confusion where it needed not exist.
A simple yes or no was what I was looking for.
Is the product the same, according to eBay, if 2 or more different listings have the same epid?
Yes or no?
Thank you
Russ
Hi ducatimondo,
I said yes above, so if the items have the same epid number in the catalog, then it would be the same item.
Thank you,
Marco
Hi Marco, thank you for your clrification.
So if that is the case, why is that when I report items that sellers have listed more than 400 duplicates of the same item, then eBay does not remove them, yet they all share the same epid?
So it is clear that the policy department responsible for managing duplicate listing do not know what they are doing and that is the reason why nothing happens to duplicate listing from these sellers that damage the platform so much by doing this.
The duplicate listings are:against eBay policies
create a type of cartel activity that eBay become complicit in if they fail to address if when asked to do so.
ruining the eBay market place for buyers
ruining the eBay market place for sellers that follow the rules
hugely demoting eBay in Google as Google really doesn't like duplicated content.
All in all creating an unlevel field for sellers that are following the rules.
Why do the policy department not see this?
Thanks
Russ
Thanks for your reply, ducatimondo.
Once an item/listing is reported, this is reviewed, and then a decision is taken. The listing can be removed if it breaches any of our policies, or it can remain if there is nothing wrong with it. Please continue to report those that you believe are against our policies, and we will review them and take actions accordingly.
Thank you,
Marco
