Hi all - - FYI
About a year ago I contacted eBay management regarding this situation
of pulling items from the bidding for various reasons.
At that time I learned that eBay had the "reviewing" process contracted
out to another firm which scanned the offerings on a continous basis
and - based on the presence or absence of some key words and phrases -
would pull the item out of bidding and would issue the notices. This
is to say that eBay had nothing, per se, to do with the process. It was
all done by another firm's computer and no human operator was involved!
With that sort of situation I decided that there was nothing that could
be done about it and suggested the "non-Regal" nomenclature for our
"counterfeits" on the assumption that "non-Regal" would not be in the
scanning computer's rejection database.
I imagine that same operation is in effect today and it will be up to
the seller to come up with phrases that will not trigger a
cancellation. Three words that trigger the scanner are counterfeit,
evasion, and software. You will probably discover others as time
passes.
