MOrning,

E-Bay just ended 75+ of my Store listings that were all different Cards Numbers in specific sets and then even ended stuff from different sets that were different Card numbers claiming they are all Duplicate listings. IE.

1975 Topps Basketball Card #175 Joe Blow Set Break
1975 Topps Basketball Card # 204 Joes Sister Set Break
1962 Terror Monster #117 PSA NM-MT 8

Saying they were duplicates.

I'm just beyond knowing what to do0?????????????????

    This could possibly be Example #501 For Why eBay is Going the Way of Circuit City

    Sorry to here that. What can you do besides just repost? Hopefully they dont charge you listing fee's for the auctions they just canceled.

    They all look the same to me.

    Just relist them. That's all you can do.

    MOrning,

    Well the fun continues, called E-Bay and took it to the next level with Stupidvisor. The long and short after 45 minutes on the phone, if the title doesn't have 3 distinct differences in it, it violates their policy, and/or if the listing body doesn't explain that it is Card #175 of set of 362, with 2 other differences in the Body of the listing then it violates thier policy. My listings have been scrutinized Manually, I have been told, and if A customer searching on their Coffee break at work doesn't see Clearly Three (3) differences in the Title of All listings then they Can/Will be removed!!

    Just another day in the E-Bay Universe !!!

    They should WANT you to have duplicate listings so that they can collect the extra listing fees. image

    So according to them this is not allowed:

    1975 Topps Basketball Card #175 Joe Blow Set Break PSA 9
    1975 Topps Basketball Card #175 Joe Blow Set Break PSA 7

    1975 Topps #345
    1975 Topps #186


    If they do that to all card sellers on ebay they will wipe out a lot of listings...that is just ignorant

    Maybe Rajah reported your listings to mess with you.

    The 3 different things in title makes no sense when it comes to most collectibles. They're trying to apply a rule that's intended to prevent multiple listings for the same new widget to unique collectibles. That would also mean you couldn't list different issues of comics from the same series. You can't list different years or conditions of Morgan Dollars because they're all Morgan Dollars. You couldn't even list a signed bat, ball, and card from the same player under those rules. Whoever looked at your stuff has no understanding of the product you sell. Ebay has people on staff with experience in collectibles who understand that what you're selling is different. You just need to push the issue up the chain of command to somebody who can find the right person to look at your listings.

    This doesn't bode well for the guy with the 5 different listings all titled "Baseball Card".

    That is just kinda funny. Next they will limit people to 3 items in any category.

    I feel your pain. I just woke up this morning to having one of my listings end for "Right of Publicity" violation. The item was a signed (not certified out of a pack) 1988 Donruss Cal Ripken card. Yup, here is the message....

    "The rights owner or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the rights owner, Ripken Baseball, Inc., notified eBay that this listing violates intellectual property rights. When eBay receives a report of this type of violation, we remove the listing to comply with the law.

    Listings or items that contain a celebrity's name, likeness, or signature may infringe his/her right of publicity. This right is generally defined as an individual's right to control and profit from the commercial use of his/her identity, and is not limited to only celebrities.

    You may need the celebrity's authorization to use his/her name, likeness, or signature in a listing or to list an item using such elements. The use of a celebrity's name, likeness, or signature as part of an eBay listing is not permitted, unless the use was authorized by that person."

    WTF. It's a signed baseball card!? I guess pretty soon we wont be able to sell any cards with players images or names on them. image

    That is dumb. So whats the differance between selling yours and selling a slabbed auto?
  • StoogeStooge Posts: 4,668 ✭✭✭✭✭
    When a baseball player "signs" away his autograph he is "giving" that person his "permission" to do with that autograph whatever that person wants to do with it, including selling it to make profit.

    If you are the Guy that pays $300 for a Willie Mays auto and stands in line for 3+ hours to do so, then that is yours and eBay should have no say in the matter.

    What is someone suppose to do? Call Willie Mays agent and ask for a letter, signed by Willie Mays of course, with permission to "post publicly" his autograph?

    What about those that are dead like Babe Ruth???

    Unbelievable!!!!!

    Well you would have to get permisiion from his estate - but I agree. Freakin retarded.
  • SouthsiderSouthsider Posts: 1,049 ✭✭✭
    Donruss already licensed the right to use Cal's image for that card, tell Ripken Baseball, Inc. to take off.
  • StoogeStooge Posts: 4,668 ✭✭✭✭✭


    << <i>Well you would have to get permission from his estate >>

    If eBay starts to cancel ALL listings without permission received, then eBay will have to cancel several thousands of autograph listings.

    Yes, that is freakin' retarded!

    I used to sell a lot on eBay until they got too greedy and seller unfriendly. It's still a great site for buyers.

    From my understanding, when Ripken Baseball does this, it's because they believe the signature is not authentic. Otherwise they would pull all Ripken signatures.

    I received yesterday a notice that a listing was ended because it was in violation of eBay policies. This isn't a huge deal to me, as I'm a buyer, not a seller. Then I clicked on the listing and saw the item. I posted positive feedback after receiving it several weeks ago.

    What possible purpose can be served by removing a listing at this point?
