Why is it I when I listed an item twice in error it was removed right away but there are many sellers listing the same item all the time?

I listed an item twice in error and it was removed within an hour as a duplicate by ebay stating they don't want the listings clogged up with duplicate items from the same seller. Why then are the 100's of certain sellers listing the same item continuously ending daily some times hourly. They seem to function under a different set of rules than the rest of us. I'd love to know what ebays double standard rules are and who qualifies for this exception to the rules the rest of us are restricted too. I've been a 100% positive feedback seller on ebay for 12 years but new sellers with the same dvd can list it 12 times in one week and that's o.k. with the rules. Why!!!!!

This just happened to me also not too long ago and I was wondering the same thing and then I realized it is because they add a different product number to each item so it looks like it is different. I think that's why but will check back to see other answers . lol
