Jenny How I am sure we have all done this one time or another – violating the eBay rules without us realising! And then what do we do, modify the listings from scratch (for those not using auction management tools?) and list it again.
Jim Ambac of eBay VP of Seller Experience, announced that from now on, if your listing is cancelled by eBay because of a policy violation, it will no longer just be cancelled by eBay. Instead, the listing will be transferred to your Unsold section in My eBay, where you’ll be able to modify it and repost without having to start all over again.
Check your My Messages inbox for explanations before you repost though, if your listing is cancelled to make sure you don’t make the same mistake twice.
Seem like a good news but he does not mention if we are eligible to get a fee refund if the item got sold from the relist? I guess not.

It really bothers me how other eBay members can report a listing WITHOUT violations, and the listing is removed. I am having instances like this lately, and I think it is from competitors getting nasty. I have talked to eBay about it, and they don’t really even investigate the reports before pulling the listing. It becomes cumbersome to relist my own items, when nothing was even wrong with the original listing.
eBay’s excuse – “We rely on the eBay community to police each other’s listings.” My reply, “So my competitors can end my listings and drive me out of business? That hardly seems professional.”
Hi Suzanne, i agree with you on the ‘nasty competitors’ part. I have listings pulled from me as well. I admit I have the mistakes there. But I also see others sellers going around doing the same mistakes that I’ve done, but nothing happens to them.
The minute I listed something with a violation, my listing got pulled down. I have to thank these ‘nasty competitors’ for teaching me so many things.
I guess when you get too hot in your own niche, you have ‘someone’ out there constantly monitoring your listing. But it’s funny if eBay never investigate your listings and cancel it. Are they acting funny?
I once sold an Urban Decay product called “Lip Ink”, but every time I tried to put it up, some company named “Lip Ink” would pull it down. Fortunately, I was using TurboLister and I’d just re-upload. Eventually, it did sell, but it was a huge pain in the butt in the mean time.
