Have you suffered unjustly through ban after ban, suspension after suspension and false claim after unwarranted listing removal?
If so then your problem may not be eBay…it’s probably a competitor.
If you’re selling items that are equal to or better than a competitor for lower prices and you offer better service, you may be being targeted. A single jealous competitor can use eBay as a tool to harass and ultimately destroy your business.
Competitors will take extreme avenues in efforts to “bring you down”. Here’s some things you need to watch for:
1. Zero Bidders. The easiest way for a competitor to “mess with you” is to use prepaid credit cards to create eBay accounts. They provide eBay with false information and immediately begin bidding on your items. The competitor will win your items, causing you to pay closing fees (as well as the previously paid listing fees). Then the competitor never pays. You’re now involved in a wild goose chase of dispute opening, having the competitor claim they sent the check in the mail, waiting on the check to arrive, realizing you’ve been taken then…GETTING A BAD FEEDBACK, or several of them. These bad feedback destroy your DSR rating and cause your ebay account to go down the drain.
2. Spoof and Mails and “Shady Emails”. Everyone knows about the “spoof emails”. A shady competitor may try to access your private information by sending you spoofs. They also may send you emails from fake eBay accounts OR other eBay accounts (that they use strictly for buying) asking you to break eBay policy. The competitor may ask you to accept Pay Pal on an item that you’re not allowed to accept PP on, such as Mature Audience or they may ask you if you’re able to end an auction so they can send you funds through Pay Pal for the item in question – which is illegal according to eBay. The competitor hopes you will agree to what they are asking and respond via email, which they will then send to eBay or Pay Pal and get you banned for life.
3. FALSE bans, pulled listings, suspensions, etc. A jealous competitor will “troll” your listings and report items without warrant. Ebay is supposed to manually review each item before pulling the listing or handing down punishment, but from my experiences, they do not review properly. A jealous competitor can cause you to lose hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a month by getting you unjustly banned.
If you have found these things are occurring, you will want to look into the “targeting” further.
You can indeed fight “targeting”. If a seller is using eBay as a tool to harass you, the seller is held accountable as well as ebay. You will want to begin building your case.
