It went through just fine. Then I decided to add a subtitle which included the word "Coach" in it. It not only went through, it now pulls up in a general search! Hoping it wasn't just a fluke, as I put the cart before the horse and bought a couple new bags before selling my old ones to pay for them. Hope this helps!

Oh! Wow! Thanks!

Hi All: I received the same message for listing USED 7 for all Mankind Jeans. I emailed and was told 48 hours later that after reviewing my account (with over 100 postive feedbacks) that I am restricted for NINETY DAYS!!!! I have sold Hermes I currently have an Escada jacket listed. But I'm restricted for trying to list a pair of USED JEANS for $19.99!!!!! Here is my little way around eBay NAME BRAND Can't say who read listing...bite me E sz 31

Item number: 280242670315
Is there some way we can band together and end their nazi craziness????? Seems like the only ones NOT being harrassed are the ones selling the fakes!!!

I'm confused - I checked it out - but will people be able to still do a search on a 7 For Mankind jean and still come up with your listing? I never got that - someone else did a whole Coach switch thing and it seemed to work - I just want my listings to be easily found!

I asked why the restrictions and to please list: Here is what I got after THREE DAYS! I have 103 POSITIVE FEEDBACKS, I've sold Hermes, Breitling, Escada, Prada......

I posted earlier that my ban was lifted, but I wonder why mine was and so many others were not.

I still say after they read my second irratated email they may change their mind.

VPT · Jul 5th, 2008, 10:00 PM

I've got an awful hunch eBay is up to something soon and this feature is just a prelude to something more sinister. I'm thinking ebay might be shortening the due date for re-listing an item from 90 days to 29 days to qualify for a selling fee credit. Whatchou think?

jchiara · Jul 5th, 2008, 10:48 PM

Well this is certainly fascinating!

LVs are coming up just listed as 'bag' - but because they have the brand they're selling in their 'SPECIFICS' the search function will still pick up the bag. Makes total sense!

However, what's weird is that it says "listing will be up shortly. please do not bid." Well, I had no intention, but that's strange. What do you think?

Just for a pip - if you do say 'vuitton' under search - you get both listed in the title bags as well as just 'bag'....
Ugh - people are definitely trying to fight the system. I wonder if there will be a way to somehow thwart this.

nooch · Jul 5th, 2008, 11:00 PM

This is ridiculous. I don't want to combine my purse-selling (because I'm just selling to buy more) with my business selling in case I run into a buyer from hell but I'm going to have to. Unless of course I have selling restrictions on that account too after 3700 feedback. Growl piss moan.

Taralindsey · Jul 6th, 2008, 04:44 AM

I still have not heard from eBay about my restrictions....

shinymagpie · Jul 6th, 2008, 11:24 AM

Hey eBayguy. Got any insight into current developments? Getting a little frustrating now.

lizziecat · Jul 6th, 2008, 03:18 PM

Well, I've been hit by the 30-day rule now. I attempted to re-list my authentic Balenciaga on eBay UK and was told that I had to apply to have the 30-day ruling removed.

Crazy! I've e-mailed a request and am curious about how long they will take to get back to me. Like several other members here, though, I am thinking that perhaps I need to change my bag habits so that I keep my purchases and don't seek to sell them on. It'll be tough but it might help me make more careful decisions in the first place.

ItalianFashion · Jul 6th, 2008, 04:32 PM

This will really change my purse buying habits if my restrictions are not listed. I never worried about buying a bag before because I always bought in demand bags I could resell if I decided I did not like it. If this is how eBay is going to be then I guess I am stuck with my current collection and very few new bags in the future. I luckily had a buyer today who wanted a bag I had listed before and I could relist without the designer name in the title so she could do a buy it now.

dapperchic · Jul 6th, 2008, 04:41 PM

Well I got hit with the ban this morning when I went to sell some Coach bags. For the record I have 100% positive feedback , rated 315. I emailed and asked for them to review the account so now I'm worried about getting the 90 day response. This is ridiculous. I'm also trying to start a store at ioffer but it's really hard to compete with the advertised fakes over there, I wish that place would take a stand against the fakes because it could become something to compete with eBay - it needs cleaned up though.

I'll let you know how mine turns out, I'm sad this is happening but I'm glad I'm not the only one.

mercer · Jul 6th, 2008, 05:04 PM

I just got the 30 day ding for trying to relist a Balenciaga dress. After 9 years and 100 percent positive feedback. It really is very frustrating. I've emailed them and we'll see. I'm glad they are trying to do something to stop the fakes. But random robolimiting makes me hate eBay with the heat of a thousand fire-y suns.
