 Do not do this. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. All right in this video we are going to talk about veros and policy violations. These are current items that are being removed from eBay for many reasons and we're gonna talk about that in this video. So I posted this in my Bolo Buddies Facebook group and I invited members of the group to share things that have happened to them. So these are relevant and current, which is gonna help all of us learn and help us keep our accounts safe. This is my Bolo Buddies Facebook group. If you're not in it, I would love for you to join. If you have a Viro or a policy violation that you would like to share, there will be a post under the announcements slash featured section of the group. We're just gonna dig right in and we're gonna get started with these policy violations and veros. I ask people to please include photos of the item if they have it. Also, if they have the actual screenshot of what eBay sent them when they remove the item, that's very helpful also. Some will have that, some will not. So security jacket. I hate that there are solds to comp and others with current listings, but mine gets removed. Yeah, you know what? That's gonna be the case all the time. Some of them are gonna get caught, some of them are not. But they can go into your eBay solds and pull these listings. So just because someone got away with it or it looks like they got away with it doesn't mean they didn't get hit on the back end, okay? This one right here is an Allied Universal security jacket. It says security across the back. I totally get this. This makes sense to me. If somebody's wearing this jacket and I'm in a public place, let's say at a theater and I have a question about something and I'm worried about something. I'm gonna go up to that person because their jacket says security on it, you know, and it's gonna be somebody just wearing a jacket. So impersonation, it's a real thing. We had to remove your listing because it didn't follow our police related items policy. Police and emergency response uniforms, equipment or accessories can't be sold on eBay. We appreciate that you have a selected eBay to list your item. However, please be informed that you listed uniform with patch on the site. Since the sale of many government IDs and uniforms are prohibited by law, regulated or may be used for illicit purposes such as prohibited on eBay. Also in respect to a special request from the gosh, this is so small. From such government agencies, we prohibit all of the uniform and badges on this site. These items are owned by the government personnel's. Please don't relist such items on the site. This is what it looks like and this is what eBay said about it. I purchased a Target palette and I purchased a Target palette and it had some blender bottles in the original packaging. I listed them about two months ago. No sales. Today, I received this. I do have a receipt for the palette and proof of the price I paid for the entire palette. Not sure if it is worth my time to go through all that when they will probably say I'm not an authorized seller anyway. eBay said has said not, wait, eBay has not said anything to me. This came from a user that doesn't even have blender bottle or the company name and their username. Okay, so that's interesting. It does say blender bottle at the bottom and I cannot even read this, but it says marketplace seller. So I don't know if this just came into their actual messages on eBay. But somebody put I got that in contacted eBay. They said if it did not come from eBay to ignore it, the rep looked at my items and said no worries. She said thank you after I looked at the sender and it's an eBay user with zero feedback and never bought or sold anything. I feel like I will probably ignore it. So it could have been competition just trying to get her to take her items off of eBay, which is just awful. But you know people do things like that. It's kind of like those emails we get where they want us to click on things to fix our account that's not broken. Yeah, spam. So I think that was probably spam, but so maybe don't worry about that one. But this is a good thing to know to be on the lookout for if you get something like that in your inbox on eBay. Definitely contact eBay. I haven't had many GE water filters and some other water, wait see, I haven't had many. GE water filters and some other water filter brand names and also the P90x exercise DVDs. I have about 40 water filters and I don't know where to sell them. By the way, I think any company can do Vero on you if they want. I think that's possible. Question mark. I remember another one. Things with RX prescription on it gets taken down. The most common when people try to sell are like those sleep machines, nebulizers or something like that. He's talking about CPAP machines. And yes, those will get taken down. And he said harmonic bone repair machines. Not sure what that is. You guys, if something has an RX, if it's a prescription and you need a prescription to get it, you cannot list it on eBay. I had a lot of Dr. Seuss books that contained one of the books that were no longer being published. I didn't do the research. I should have so totally on me. I re-listed without the book and threw the one in question away, not worth the risk or the karma. She said it was Mulberry Street. So it sounds like she had a lot of Dr. Seuss books and got called out on that. I think there's six books total. And I've talked about those in past Vero videos. You don't want to list the Dr. Seuss books because they have been pulled and are no longer in production and not allowed to be listed on eBay. Oral-B Toothbrush Head Replacements said it was counterfeit. So I guess Oral-B either has counterfeit items or Oral-B will come after you and say the item is counterfeit. Not really sure. Anyone else had a problem with that. Mac Truck Vintage Hats. Vero came from Volvo. Mary Kay items. Lawsuit came from Mary Kay. What? All right, let's read this. She's got a actual pop-up here. And it's really tiny. I hope I can read it. Your listing didn't follow our Vero brand name misuse policy. I don't know. I really want to read what this says. I'm going to pop it up here. I hope you guys can read it. So this has to do with the Mac Truck. I'm not sure. So hopefully you guys can read that. I apologize. It is just too small for my eyes. Okay. Was the Mary Kay Vintage or Current Catalog items our U.I. Mary Kay distributor? I'm not a distributor. Most were new old stock retired items. Somebody put I don't see Mary Kay on the Vero list. Nope, it's not on the Vero. I got hit with a lawsuit straight from Mary Kay. Huh. So my question about that is was it really from Mary Kay or is this another one of those fake ease? If you're watching, did this come to you through like the mail or was this sent to your eBay messages? Did you check with eBay on this? Has anyone else in the group or watching this video had an issue with Mary Kay items? Please let me know down in the comments. Just had a red polo with the Porsche logo embroidered on it removed as a Vero. It was a Port Authority signature polo, which a lot of companies use for putting logos on. The Vero was issued by dring.hcfporshag as a counterfeit. I purchased it at a thrift shop. It's been listed probably for six, eight months on eBay. Had no idea it was on any Vero list. There are still some sellers selling Porsche logo items. So who knows? Somebody else put your right. I have Port Authority polos with my company's logo on our company store for employee purchases. Usually the distributor of the Port Authority apparel requires letter to be on file from the trademark owner to okay that type of personalization. I wonder if it was something Porsche gave to dealers or employees and then their IP attorney wasn't aware. It's a legit shirt just procured from a closed channel. So that's interesting. You guys are welcome to put your feedback on down in the description on that as well in the comments. I had a let's go Brandon ornaments taken down because it promotes violence crazy because there are a ton on eBay item was just removed. Okay, so here's what it says without getting political. We are just talking about a let's go Brandon ornament and how it was removed from eBay. So please no political comments down below. It said we had to remove your listing because it didn't follow our violence and violent criminals policy items or listings that promote or glorify violence or violent acts or are associated with individuals who are notorious for committing violent acts are not allowed. Please understand that you listed let's go Brandon ornaments items promoting or glorifying hatred violence racial or religious intolerance aren't permitted to be listed on eBay. Please don't relist such items on the site. Okay, so there you have it. Nothing that says let's go branding can be listed on eBay. A Pac-Man t-shirt from JC penny. It was on there for over two years without a sale out of the blue was pulled and taken down. I was so confused. It was not licensed. I got a warning a few days later. I had a Puma t-shirt on the tag. It said speed stack. Apparently the speed stack cups logo police got me and I was suspended from listing for seven days. I didn't even know what those were. It just said speed stack on a Puma tag. Luckily a snarky person from speed stacks answered my email and my suspension only lasted two days. I was so irritated. I told him to go after Puma not me. Anyway, after my suspension ended I got a lot of sales. I also got a few during the suspension. I just was not able to list. I hope the slowdown is spent in spending hurts speed stack cups where it hurts. Ha ha. I wish eBay would simplify the Viro process and just not allow those items to be posted at all would make life much easier. All right. So speed stacks. I don't know what that that's just if it's just Puma or it's other brands. I really don't understand what that is. All right. Is the question is the violations on the Viro listing only for new or are they for used as well? Somebody put both. I would say as my bubble light was used. Okay. So the bubble light was not a Viro. That was a hazardous materials not allowed to be listed because hazardous materials policy update. So that would not I don't think that's considered a Viro. That's considered a policy violation. It turns out you can't list something like Fendi purse and use tags in the title for exposure like Chanel Gucci etc. Had to edit my listing title and relist. I'm a total novice through and this is probably common knowledge. Can't list a Fendi purse and use tags in the title for exposure. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. You can't do that. Yeah. So what she's saying is she listed a Fendi purse and put Chanel and Gucci in the title to that's called spamming or keyword spamming. So yeah, you cannot keyword spam. Tiffany like you can't do that or Koogee Koogee style for like the sweaters that look like Koogee. I always say Koogee. So it's really hard for me to say Koogee because I think it sounds weird. But the real fancy Koogee sweaters that are all colorful, there's some that look like those. And if you put Koogee style, that item can be removed. So all my cover girl items were Viro removed because I sell international global shipping program. I guess you can't sell cover girl to Europe. All right, you guys. I know that there's certain hair. I think it's Clary all think that's how you say it that you can't sell internationally. So you have to turn off global shipping program and international sales for these items. She is saying cover girl cannot be shipped to Europe. So I have not verified this. I'm just telling you what she has said. Just deleted today. Comfast Wi-Fi extender dual band repeater. This listing was removed. Viro unauthorized item policy. Again, I'm going to try to read this. We had to remove your listing because it didn't follow our Viro unauthorized items policy. Unauthorized copies or counterfeits are illegal and not allowed on eBay. Your listing was reported by the rights owner as unauthorized copy. Please see the policy below for information about why we don't allow counterfeits and unauthorized copies. So I'm going to pop up the other one right here. I'm not going to try to read it to you, but it goes into let's see. I think it goes into the verified rights Viro and copyright and stuff like that. So it's just too small for me to read. I apologize. And I asked her if she had a photo of the item and this is what the item looks like. So apparently it is a counterfeit. Splat our ball. Gel bead pellets over danger to children if ingested. It is a toy but said only gel beads can be listed under floral. Huh. And I put is it a recalled item? Do you happen to have a screenshot of the eBay violation or the item? This is helpful for the video. Thanks so much. And nothing. So splat our ball gel beads. So you guys can look that up. Keep it in mind when you're outsourcing. I couldn't ship vintage lighters international. Not sure why. Okay. So vintage lighters turn off international shipping. There are also shipping policies for lighters. So look those up on usps.com before you ship. I just got one yesterday from HP for inkjet ink. The reason stated is because I selected shipping to Europe and it's a shipping violation. I had it on global shipping. So I removed it from my other listings. One inkjet and one toner. HP inkjet. I've heard about this with international shipping. I don't know if it's only Europe or if it's other countries. You may just want to turn off global shipping and international sales for ink. If you're not sure or you can research it and figure out if it's only Europe. If it's only Europe you can go in and specifically just make it so global shipping minus Europe. Okay. But there may be other countries that don't allow it. I have had a couple of things. An infant onesie you can't use the use the inside in title unless it is that brand. You call it a one piece or a body suit. So yeah onesie onesie is a brand. It is not a like so a lot of times you get the full body suits even like the adult body suits and people will call them onesies that will get your item pulled. It has to be called a body suit or a one piece. Onesie is only the brand. Onesie is actually a brand. Now onesie does make body suits. That's why it's confusing for babies. This is one that got me early on and I was like what are they talking about? And I relisted it. And I'm like what are they talking about? And I relisted it like three times. Thankfully back then they weren't as strict and they just kept saying stop listing it. I didn't get any violation. I mean that was many, many years ago. That was many, many years ago. Anyone ever had expired makeup removed? If so please share. So I am asking that to you guys watching. Somebody recently put up a post in my Bolo Buddies Facebook group and it was about a big money Bolo cosmetic and it was expired. From what I understand expired makeup is not allowed. But what everybody said in the comments is that I was wrong. So let me know. In the comments I am just really curious about this. I know one person, it was in another video that I did. They had one removed and they got in trouble because it was expired. But they think it was because it had sunscreen in it. So it could depend on maybe the products being used. I know Lindy Glenn did a video for expired items where a bunch of her stuff got, I think she got a suspension if I remember correctly. It's been a while since I watched the video but she does a lot of palette items so her items will expire. Now cosmetics and creams, different things. If anybody has any like they know for sure they got a violation for it or any information like that please include it down in the description. I recently got my first Vero. It was a blimpy plush. Just a warning your listing was reported by Moonbug Entertainment Limited for violating their copyright. Vero Program offers intellectual property right owners a way to report listings that they believe infringe on their rights. Unauthorized copies or copyrighted material are illegal and not allowed on eBay. I don't have the picture of mine since it was removed but this is an image from Google Images of what was removed. So blimpy is on YouTube. I don't think it's a television series. I think it's just a YouTube series. Correct me if I'm wrong. So I'm wondering is this all blimpy toys or is it just this particular plush that maybe was was it copyright or was it counterfeit? Let me know if you've had any problems with Mr. Blimpy here. All right he has a pretty big YouTube channel. I don't know if he's on television yet. Let me know if you guys know that too. I have seen toys though so that would be good to know because I like to sell toys. I know Coco Melon will come after you and say your item is counterfeit. I don't know if they just say it is and it's not or if it these people literally literally have counterfeited items. Maybe it's just a commonly item that is counterfeit. I'm not sure but be careful with Coco Melon also. I listed and sold within hours of wait I listed and sold within hours and AFlovest, A-F-F-L-O-V-E-S-T. I have no idea what that is. Next morning when I went to print the label it had been removed. eBay said I couldn't sell medical devices and gave me a warning. Many have been listed and sold because I've been watching several for two months. Luckily the buyer had his phone number with a ship to address. I called and we made it work through PayPal. Do not do this. Paid $10 for it at a yard sale and sold it for $1,465. Now I can see where it would be very tempting to do this. Do not do this you guys. If it is a prescription item do not list it. Do not try to backdoor things because that is going to come around and bite you. I don't know. I'm trying International Biophysics A-F-F-L-O Airway Clearance Vest. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. It's a medical device. Don't do it. This is what it looks like. This one comes from Farm Girl Scavenger Noel. This item got removed from Bonanza. It says the items in your booth associated with this brand Hershey's Company, Reese's, are protected by copyright trademark and the owners prohibit those items from being sold without their permission. A cease and desist notification was received on 9-21-22 and Bonanza is legally bound to remove all infringing items. We have removed the following items from Bonanza. If you wish to list this content again we will need to receive a retraction of the complaint from the brand owner. Their contract information can be found at the bottom of this message. This is it. It's a Reese's Cup plush and that's what she got. It was removed from Bonanza. So even a small platform, I think Bonanza is pretty small. I know when I sold on Bonanza I hardly sold anything but I mean they're still going but yeah how crazy is that? And again that comes from Farm Girl Scavenger Noel. She is a wealth of knowledge. She has a reseller YouTube channel. Definitely go and check her out. Purchase two off OFF products from a church sale for 50 cents each. The comps were high. A week later they were taken down by eBay with the long explanation with this long explanation. No effect on my account. Hello Dare to Dream Big 1313 who is also a Bolo buddies member. This is her eBay store. Definitely check her out and thank you for sharing. We had to remove your listing because it didn't follow our pesticides policy. Fertilizer and pesticides prohibited by the government aren't allowed. What activity didn't follow the policy? You listed a pesticidal or fertilizer product that was not approved by the EPA for the U.S. market. We appreciate that you choose to utilize our site but we must ask that you please not relist in this case. What you need to do next? We can't relist items we vended. Please ensure your current and future listings follow the policy. It says you can't sorry. What is the policy? Because pesticides can pose significant health and safety risks and are regulated by the U.S. government we have specific rules about selling them on eBay. Pesticide products aren't allowed on eBay if they are unregistered, misbranded or restricted use pesticides under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPA regulations. Suspended, canceled or banned by federal or state government agencies. Manufactured or shipped from outside the U.S. unbranded, repackaged or open packaging. Ineligible for shipment through standard shipping providers. How this affects your account? Because you may not have been aware of this policy we're sending this notice to educate you about it and ask that you follow the policy in the future. Listings that didn't follow this policy have been ended. We have credited any associated fees except for your final value fee for your listing. Listings that don't follow this policy in the future will be ended. Why we have this policy? The pesticides policy helps our buyers and sellers to comply with federal and state governmental regulations and protects the eBay community from the dangers that these products may pose. And it says two off mosquito lamp lantern refills, six pads, six candles. Discontinued new old stock sealed and this is what they looked like. So thank you for providing a photo. I learned that I can't list Levi jeans and sell to the U.K. Europe. So now I do not do global shipping. They just took the items down and I relisted them after I opted out of global shipping. So if you have Levi's just turn off international and global shipping. I keep seeing this one so it's obviously a thing that's happening to a lot of people. This is a Breg PolarCare 300 power cord and this one was removed by eBay and this happened to Dad Planet. This is his YouTube channel and he has an actual video about this. This is what that video looks like. I will link it down in the description below and you guys can get more details on that. I just received a Vero for a toilet brush and they have the laughing emoji. I buy wholesale items so I probably had two dollars in this item and I had it listed for around 20 to 30. It appears the word Brizzo, B-R-I-Z-O is copyrighted by Delta Fawcett Company. It has been listed and relisted multiple times over the last six months or so and really hasn't wasn't getting any views. I guess if I relist it I will just market it as stainless steel toilet brush. Just received a warning and nothing else. So what I would do is number one the item is not selling. So is it worth the risk of relisting? I would just donate it and move on. That's what I would do. Here's what it says. Your listing was reported by the rights owner below because you have used the term Brizzo. When listing this product please do not use the term Brizzo and your title, item specifics, images, or description. So they're saying they can relist it without those words. I personally would not. If it's not selling don't risk it. And then it goes on to talk about Delta Fawcett Company is the title holder of the Delta Fawcett products and you can hike and research them and all of that good stuff. This rule helps to ensure that eBay users trust our marketplace and comply with the law. And keep these coming to you guys. Thank you so much for sharing. There should be a new post up. If you would like to go over and share, I would greatly appreciate it. Don't just share in the comments. Please go over to the Facebook group and share under the post so I can get this information in a video. Okay. Thanks so much for watching. Let me know if you learned something new and leave me an emoji of a hat or just say the word hoot in the comments. Thanks for watching.
