Ok Ladies n Gents,
Obviously we have all seen everyone's auctions getting pulled recently. Why? Well, technically we were breaking eBay's rules. While others may have posted a similiar auction and 'gotten away with it', ours were pulled. We know why... People have to turn you in unless someone from eBay just so happens to browse the Jewelry:Rings:Cubic Zirconia & Moissanite category and notices a huge infraction.
Right now, we all need to be nitpicky of our OWN auctions and abide by all the rules so no one can find a reason to turn us in! Be careful! Even the slightest rule being broken, and someone can report you to eBay and most likely, they'll pull your auction in their attempt to please the other person and keep eBayer's abiding by the rules.
It's so simple though, we all know what these auctions are being pulled for. And we are fairly sure of who is reporting us. BUT we can fix it, don't give eBay a reason to pull your auction. Don't give the 'others' ANY reason to report it.
Don't post item numbers in your questions area.
Don't keyword spam (even by using 'this is NOT a real diamond', use THIS is a dazzling cubic Zirconia instead)
Don't use anyone elses .com's in your ad.
Don't shill bid.
Be sure your title describes the item that you are auctioning.
When in doubt, ask a friend to proof your auction before you hit submit.
(paste them the preview auction link)
There are TONS of other rules too, I know its a pain in the booty right now but the only way we are going to get these 'others' to stop reporting us is to not give them a reason to report us.
Good luck with all of your auctions. Crazy, Wild, Insane, and 'Normal' (heheh whats normal?). You'll all still be on my watch list
