I'm so frustrated with eBay! I tried to list a designer item for sale, which was sitting in my Bonanza booth for a while, and it was flagged as a branded item that I couldn't list until 30 days passed from the last designer item I sold. I spoke to eBay customer service (very nice, but overall useless script reading) to see if that restriction could be lifted, citing my 10 yrs of positive history on eBay, as well as my booth of all designer items and 100% positive selling feedback on Bonanza.
She kept reiterating that there's a limit to branded items and I would gradually be able to sell more once I receive positive feedback from the buyer for my last designer item. I asked if the limit on selling designer items is contingent on positive buyer feedback, b/c there were many instances where I've seen counterfeit items sold and the scammer seller received positive fb from the unknowing buyer which just continues the cycle of selling counterfeit items. I've even messaged the buyer personally in those cases. She thanked me for reporting counterfeits but basically said there's nothing they can do. Great.
