There are several sellers who buy from the same supplier I do. It's easy to tell. However, unlike me, they use the words like Fred Segal, Banana Republic, Jasper wood (what the heck is Jasper wood anyway?), Emerald Lucite and the like in their titles. Ha, ha, ha. What a farce. I use the word "faux" and get a listing pulled. These sellers use brand names and their listings stay. Go figure.

I would love to know what there is about the term "faux" that E-Bay pulls auctions. I don't understand that one. I have used it as it is the way part of the items are described from a couple of places I buy from.

I have wondered the same thing. I've had auctions pulled for keyword spamming where there was none, for fee circumvention when I said I have the same set in a different color at auction as well (huh? - they were TWO separate auctions), and non-existent VeRO violations. If they took the time to examine the auctions that someone is reporting, they might find that a whole bunch of them are not in violation at all. In all circumstances, except the VeRO, eBay found me to be in the right. In the meantime, I lost valuable listing time during the holidays.

I had ebay pull an auction because they said I was trading a boat for a house. WHAT???? It was a vintage ADVERTISEMENT. I have not gotten an answer from them yet on why they would pull an ad. Here is part of their email:

My favorite is the Tiffany bracelet (real) that I listed that was pulled as a VERO violation. The thing that baffled me is that I had the wrong picture in the listing. I am just not sure how they determined that the bracelet was a conterfiet based on the photo of a turntable.
