Default Why the hell ebay removes my advert ?!

I put my GEMS display for sale on ebay, then it has been removed without any message to explain me why, so I re-listed it, and they've just removed it. No message either. What a bunch of fuckers

Well, not at all, I just listed the item with correct description, and that's it. How can you spam in an ebay auction ?

Spam is advert titles like: "Gems display, not COLLINS, NOT PECTEL, NOT SECS"


Or of you wrote the word offers in the ad or swap etc.

Can you repost the ad here so we can see?

Can't believe it mate. Are they that stupid or ???!

Have got that written under my listening : "This listing has been cancelled due to listing breach. See "My Messages" for more details."

But no messages lol. Egay is really starting to go lower and lower those days. Some said that few weeks ago but I thought no that's still ok, but but now I see why.

matt..i am pretty sure its because you wrote your e mail address for more info if rquired..they are paranoid about you dealing outside the ebay loop..all contact must be through the "contact seller" link..relist it without the email bit and i think you will be fine..cant be 100% sure matt but i think thats your problem....hope this helps mate..cheers

I think the email address is one problem - so remove that and just say "Use the ask seller button for further info".

Also remove the reference to other parts being available - as said by one of the guys above, they hate losing out on revenue from people selling outside of Ebay.

Those two should see the advert being fine

the reason it's got taken off is you are putting a private email address on the auction, ebay want you to use their messaging system so everything is tracked - shit i know but hey i dont make the rules - delete the email address and it will be fine.

I hope there is or will be one - last heard a hint that Google may do one - they're big enough to make it happen...
