Re: ? Ebay ended my auction ?

You were reported by another eBay seller, who sells similar M&N jerseys. EBay does not have the time to police every listing. They take the word of anyone. Don't complain to eBay. Turn the other cheek and move on.
Have you recieved a recent email from another eBayer, complaining about your listings? Someone is trying to eliminate the competition.

As a seller who has had a few listings removed I contact eBay on each and every one because it lowers my rating. For instance, they removed a 1986-1987 Fleer Michael Jordan Rookie (it was part of a set) as they have a policy that each and every 1986-1987 Fleer MJ Rookie must be authenticated prior to sale. You cannot find this posted everywhere, but my bidders were emails that I was in violation of some VERO crap and that I was selling illegitimate items.

After having PSA put the card in a holder marked "Authentic" they let the listing run and removed the VERO violation from my account. It was a real pain in the rear. What irritated me most was that eBay emails my bidders when they remove the listing that I am selling something bad, which I was not, but they do not email the customers that I am selling something that needs to be en-capsuled to sell on eBay and the item may be good.

What was most annoying is that eBay doesn't have a list of cards that must be slabbed before posting, but they have an internal list. This is too bad, and not fair to sellers who then have a listing removed.

Today I am looking at buying two books on eBay. The eBay seller charges $6.99 shipping per book with no combined shipping. It clearly states that the book will be shipped Media Mail, and the book weighs under a pound. I report them to SafeHarbor as this is a violation of the obvious Excessive Shipping since it runs around $2.50 or so to ship a one pound book via Media Mail with tracking.

What will eBay do about it? Nothing, they ignore these complaints but deal with unfounded complaints about genuine items such as the Mitchell and Ness jersey and my Michael Jordan rookie.

That is my guess too....happens all the time.

That looks like a legit M&N. I have a feeling it may have been targeted because it is an older style - the newer versions have numbered sizes and names on the back.

Thanks for all the input everyone, you have all been very helpful. I guess it would be safe to list the jersey without mentioning M&N in the title and description.

Possibly not.

Re: ? Ebay ended my auction ?

I have been following this one closely, because I too was a M&N collector, have bought and sold many M&N jerseys, mostly on ebay...

With regards to the style jersey...
Mitchell & Ness always sold multiple versions of the blue Phillies road jersey (I believe they made 1976, 1980 and 1983). The 1976 had a NOB. One of the 80s styles also did; the other didn't. For starters, if the reason why the item was pulled was due to a NOB, someone out there didn't do their homework.

This could be another reason...
In my travels, I have had 1 legit M&N jersey pulled. I got M&N on the line, and they told me that they have people monitoring ebay and pulling items that are in "violation" witht their policies. They mentioned that there are a lot of knock-offs, which many of us have come to know & understand; however, one thing they also said provided them with a new avenue to pull items (even legitimate ones). They mentioned that only an authorized reseller can sell their products. Hence, I no longer had any ground to walk on because I wasn't one. Since this incident, I have always indicated that I am selling an item out of my collection and that it is in used or as/is condition. I don't think they are too worried about the sale of used clothing.

My gut feel...
Someone who belongs to Vero ghot a bit overzealous and fired the first shot at you without asking questions.


Bill,
Just a suggestion -- you might want to ring them up and find out specifically why it was removed instead of speculating. They can also help get that strike against you removed. I feel that it certainly was not warranted, as it clearly looks like an authentic M&N jersey.

Re: ? Ebay ended my auction ?

I had an auction pulled once for seemingly no reason. I can't remember what it was, but it was something generic, that I'd sold many of previously, like "negro league signed baseball" or something. I took the item and re-listed it exactly as before, and it worked just fine.
