eBay is removing my listings for being counterfeit, but I don't sell fakes. On my "final warning"

eBay removed two of my listings which were for Rick Owens tote bags that I literally bought at the Rick Owens store in LA like 7 years ago and a pair of Nike's that I bought at the Nike store and even still have the receipt for.

I wouldn't really care, but this new message I received from them says my account is on its "final warning" and I will be banned if they snipe something else that they allege is fake.

I have 159 feedback since 2014 selling luxury goods and don't even own a single fake item - nor have I ever.

I've only ever received a single piece of negative feedback for a guy who claimed a used iPhone I sold him in 2014 wasn't unlocked. There was no claim either - I paid for his label to return the product (which he did) and he still left a negative.

No issues with anyone claiming anything is counterfeit. I feel like I'm about to vomit. Ebay is a significant source of my income and I just ended all of my listings in a panic.

I'm just really freaking out right now. Anyone know what to do? Or am I just totally screwed? I feel like a sitting duck with thousands of items listed knowing any one of them can be nabbed at any moment.

Was this a VERO removal?

ZOMBIE THREAD FROM DECEMBER 2022

 

The problem with zombie threads is that the information maybe out of date and no longer valid.

 

In your case readthe responses and compare the advice to your own situation.

Buying on eBay has not always been a guarantee of authenticity. EBay now has an Authentication Centre forhandbags, but I am not sureif it is available to Canadian sellers.

And don't relist on eBay unless you have an authenticity certificate. There are some very posh sites that are not as concerned.
