PROHIBITED ITEMS ??? Sapana..ur ATTN plz

[srjsms]

hi sapana.

a few days ago i sent a mail to CS to ask if i could list chocolates / Lotto Chocopie / imported chocolates / canned meat / sausages etc.. they replied saying that these items were prohibited and warned me that i would be suspended (even before i had listed the items)

Sonia of CS wrote : Please note that items such as Equal, chocolates candies are not permitted on the site as they are in violation of our Food Policy.

further ebay policy statement states thus : Food and Food products are not allowed.

Listing of food product / items shall be subject to the sellers procuring the necessary licenses and approvals and to comply with local laws and regulations relating to prevention of food adulteration, packaging and ingredient disclosure requirements.

We will provide you with necessary information on this exercise as and when we receive any updates from the Government. However, till such time we receive any confirmation or clarity from the Government, we are moving these categories to the Prohibited List and hence we request you to kindly refrain from listing and selling items in these categories. We are also moving the Food, Beverages & Nutrition supplements related products to the Prohibited list for the reasons stated above



however i beg to draw ur attention to the Home> Buy> Everything Else> Miscellaneous category item numbers beginning with 9500 - so many food items are listed..and no action is taken against the sellers..


why are these double standards practised..?? i had even reported a few items..but no action was taken.. so can u clarify whether those items listed there are allowed or not.. if allowed...why did CS say theyre not allowed..if not allowed why are they still listed...??

eBay prohibits the listing of items or products to be delivered electronically through the Internet.

Examples

Here are examples of items that may not be listed on eBay because of the downloadable media policy:


a copy of a downloadable eBook Yet 100's of e-books are sold here at re 1+ 49 Rs. delivery Charges

Sony authentic games always are black on the bottom. Sony uses a proprietary technology that produces games with this unique design. If a Sony game is sold with a different colour CD, it is a backup copy. (note: Original import versions are fine, but they will not be the silver or gold variety). PS1 / PS2 Games sold at Re 99/-

Medicines, Medical Devices, palliative/curative substances You are not permitted to list, sell or buy any medicines, medical devices or palliative/curative substances on eBay. yet bengay Cream for Arthritis, Breast Enhancers / height enhancers / figure enhancers are being sold.. in the beauty and health category

ebay should make their policies very transparent,and the products which are not allowed to be sold should be strictly not allowed or if they are allowing sellers to sell such products should be open for all the sellers.

Hello,

Food Items are not allowed on ebay.

There are thousands of food Items available for sale.

ebay takes action when you report it via Contact Us form. Once the listings are pulled down the same Sellers revert back with the same Items after a few days. If not, other Sellers who are un-aware of the policy, list a number of Food Items.

So, its an ongoing process whereby the person who reports gets exhausted. Then a new enthusiastic Member starts reporting and after a couple of weeks he too gets exhausted.

Just because the number of Violators are more than the number of Reporters..... therefore ebay can't do anything.

It seems ebay don't take initiatives themselves (maybe its a boring job for them to pull down such listings) but waits for complaints, to take action.

Its pity that policies are only meant for serious Sellers because they are afraid of violations and its consequenses.

Non serious Sellers are here for Fun and are free to do any violations .....who cares if they are suspended.

They would return back with another ID ..... New Mobile Number ..... and a new SMS Verification ...... everything is so easy.

Hi,

Food Items are not allowed at eBay. Some (maybe Many) may have listed.

But they will be soon taken care by the eBay team. It takes a lot of time to check each category.

As Umang told, Some non-serious sellers gets suspended and comes back with another id and again voilate rules. ---------------
