I tried to list a Christian Dior Bracelet and also a Swarovski Disney Pin on ebay.ca and this is the message I got:
You cannot submit your listing due to the following problems
Attention Seller:
In order to maintain a safe trading environment, limits are occasionally placed on accounts. When listing this item, you may ship only to Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom or the United States. Please go back and exclude other shipping options.
We sincerely value you as a member of our trading community and look forward to a continued successful relationship.
Click here for a window with eBay's policy on replica or counterfeit items.
Does this mean that we will be limited as to the countries we can ship to? Even when I changed to the locations allowed, I was not able to list (same message came popping up).
I gave up and decided to relist under ebay.com. Guess what? It said the information has been removed and it can no longer be relisted.
Both items are authentic and are signed with the designer's logo.

What's your problem with that? Don't sell to those countries. Which of course by extention means don't ship to those countries.

There is also another new policy of monitoring high fraud items. They are doing sweeps of items, categories and sellers of target areas. There's a discussion on Selling on eBay and CTS but I can't find them right now. They're also not saying what those items or categories are to prevent giving a heads up to scammers. They're doing away with 1 & 3 day listings for the above. Gives Trust & Safety a chance to see and get rid of the items before they finish with someone losing money.

They have to do something and it's about bloody time! Plus they're getting sued so they now have an actual incentive, if you will, to do something.
Now if we could only get the manufacturers to stop having the originals made in China we'd ALL be better off! They make them there and then wonder why or how they've been able to make copies. HAHAHAHA Ya right!! sheesh

More and more this is starting to appear as if it has very little to do with fraud and much to do with protecting Ebay's butt from legal action by these well known brand names. It's not about fakes it's about protecting territories and subsidiaries from parallel / gray market imports.
I'm not sure if the threat (of legal action) is real and/or potentially successful but for sure even the whiff of such lawsuits would have a negative effect on the stock price.
It's a funny world where humongous profits on their own are insufficient to keep investors happy.

I see tons of copyrighted photos of various stars being sold here all the time and they don't do a blessed thing about it. People are scanning photos taken by professional photogs NOT the seller, and selling them as their own. They're taking images off tv programs and selling them. They're taking them from various websites doing the same thing! Clearly all copyright infringements where nothing is done and yet now people can't even seem to list Dior cosmetics or perfume.
I apologize for my earlier comment Gifts of Elegance. What at first glance appears to be a great idea clearly has lost something in the translation. 😞 I wish they'd find the happy medium and soon!

I suspect the problem is that your shoes ARE legit.

My shoes are the real deal. But now, I have the same thing as gifts_of_elegance in that they have changed their tone from not selling Adidas shoes at all to only selling to England, Australia, USA and of course Canada.
Here's the steps I took in order to make sure the item agreed with eBay's Policy.
Click on:
- Revise your item
- Edit payment & shipping
- Ship-to locations >> Maximize (if not visible)
- Remove Worldwide option and select allowed countries
- Shipping >> Maximize (if not visible)
- Remove service (for un-allowed countries)
- Save Changes
- Submit
That should have everything up and running again.
Also make sure that the ads don't mention any worldwide shipping in text or graphics or eBay may cancel the item completely.
Gotta go now .. some 154 Adidas ads to change to eBay's specs .. WHEEEEEEEEEE!!
