***Changes in Duplicate listing policy***

05 November, 2009 | 09:49 PM IST


Dear Members,

After taking feedback from the community members, we are decreasing the number of allowed duplicate listings from 10 to 5. This policy will be enforced from November 20th , 2009.

Duplicate Listing Policy

Sellers may not concurrently have more than 5 listings for identical items. If a seller chooses to list in more than one category, the seller must still adhere to the multiple listings limit of 5. Sellers may not use multiple User IDs to list more than 5 identical items.

Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:

-Listing cancellation
-Limits on account privileges
-Account suspension
-Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
-Loss of PowerSeller status

Example of violation of this policy

Sellers who are selling individual same-model mobile phone shall not add an additional item of insignificant value to the listing in order to "create" a unique listing:

List 5 individual same-model mobile phone with a scratch guard each
List 5 individual same-model mobile phone with a pouch each
List 5 individual same-model mobile phone with a pair of ear bud each

These listings would be considered as 15 identical listings and shall be considered a violation of the policy

To know more about the policy, please visit our Duplicate Listing Policy Page.

The eBay Team
