same happend to me. I had restriction placed on my ebay account, limit 1 per week, so I contacted them via e-mail asking to lift that restriction. 48 hours later they responded to me with similar e-mail like yours. But in my case they said that after reviewing it the limitation was lifted, did not ask for any receipts for my LVs. Also when I contacted them over the phone I was explained that in many cases their experts can determine by the pictures if the item in question is in fact authentic and then no receipts required.
Have you had any listing removed before for any other reason?
I don't want to sound offensive but as far as my experience goes (6 years on e-bay) never heard about authentic items being removed for that reason, they usually right on a top of it.
If you are powerseller I can give you ebays 800 number to call and they would explain all your question. But only PS can use that number.
YES I am a power seller..If you can pm me the number that would be great..I have that PACKAGE they send PSellers I need to find it and look thru there too...maybe the number is in that package..
Well a week went by and my 7 items sold..Well 5 did so now I am listing other stuff..But I am being VERY careful not to sell things that are not worth selling if you know what I mean..I had books for 10.00 I rather use the 7 items for BAGS..
and to answer your question I HAVE NEVER IN 9 years been accused of selling a fake...yes they have removed listing from me 1 or 2 times when INDEED they were real and the receipt was in the auction and has my name on it ..OH well I guess I will have to see what happens...Thank You for letting me vent
