Yep, VERO’s happen. If you’ve sold on eBay long enough, you’ll get a company protecting their trademark. We’ve had them from time to time.
You are unlucky because you had several VERO claims in a short time span. eBay doesn’t publish when they suspend you or kick you off the platform. Assume you’d need to be repeat offender that doesnt take warnings well.
Did eBay actually hide your store and stop you from selling? Or just suspend you from listing new items for three days.
Absolutely. Its all about how you want to spend your time. We tried Amazon FBA and just didnt like the stress and day-to-day of running that business. Other people only do FBA and love it. All good.
Ryanne makes that bread every three days now (how long it takes for us to eat it). We throw everything in the dough: seeds, nuts, anything you have laying around. Fresh garlic sounds good.
I think moving from an urban area to a rural area has a psychological barrier. Anything two hours outside an urban area is “the middle of nowhere”. We’ve had friends ask if Amazon delivers to our house 🙂
But once other pioneers start moving to rural areas, the word will get out. Its all the benefits and few of the downsides. No traffic, able to know people, able to get involved in local government, affordable real estate, spots to open businesses for little money.
One reason why we’re investing in a coffee shop on our main street is to help spur other small businesses to open. We’re putting our money where our mouth is. Invest where you live.

I wonder if eBay is realizing they need to compete with Facebook that’s capitalizing local sales.
COD clearly states:
“COD may not be used to return merchandise over which there is some dispute.”Welcome Kim. As long as you have storage and patience, “list it and forget it” works for us.
Its going to be tough for the short term. No easy answers. The days of going to Goodwill or yard sales are over for probably most of 2020 IMHO.
This is when we all need to be creative.
Yeah, its some experiment eBay was doing to simplify shipping choices. Made many sellers unhappy. Are they still experimenting or have they baked in the functionality?
–How do you list your items and manage your store? Do you re-list as new every thirty days? If so, I know some people lose track of what they need to re-list.
–Are these items that had multiples? Sometimes eBay can reset the number on the listing.Otherwise, we’ve never had this happen. We “list and forget”.
We have an Anchor Store. No access to concierge service. We have access to an Anchor Store phone number. Doesn’t feel like the white glove service that you;re describing.
Until there’s a vaccine, it’s going to be difficult to get back to normal.
In regard to offer history, I mentioned in the forum that you can always use this link to see offer history. (eBay only provides the link when there is an open offer): replace the 99999999999999 bit at the end with the item number of your listing https://ofr.ebay.com/offerapp/bo/showOffers/99999999999999
I’ve been using this link a bit because people have been letting offers expire and then contact me to ask if I’ll resend it. Even though the username is scrambled the feedback number is correct for the user so I can match that up.This is a cool hack, but its unclear why eBay doesnt make this page a normal feature.
I use a 13″ Macbook Air: https://www.apple.com/macbook-air/
Its from 2015 and does everything i need it to do.
Everything you mentioned plus streaming video.
Its lightweight and powerful.Some people may suggest getting an iPad, but I like having the built in keyboard.
That’s a cool tip. Thanks for the direct link.
We never have had an option to join Concierge Support. I think it was offered only to people who showed up to eBay Open one year. Am I wrong?
