Thanks for keeping me honest! :] Slipped my mind b/c they're small & on eBay, so worldwide shipping is the usual transfer method. :]

Thanks,

Post by: jasonbar on September 25, 2014, 03:40:37 pm: Update & apologies. I was hoping to have resolution from eBay by now, but I do not.

14 of my listings were pulled on 2014/09/16 under suspicion of copyright violation. It seems that eBay is not too savvy with the concept of modern homebrew games for vintage systems.

I called eBay first thing in the morning after receiving that e-mail from them, pled my case, was assured prompt resolution within a time period, didn't hear back, called back after that time period to check my appeal's status, was given another time period within which resolution would be achieved, didn't hear back, called back after that time period to check my appeal's status, was given another time period within which resolution would be achieved, didn't hear back, called back after that time period to check my appeal's status, & was told that all I can do now is wait patiently & that the estimated resolution date was unknown but that most cases are typically resolved in 7-10 days.

So, to those who were interested, watching, & bidding, I apologize for these events out of my control. I will give eBay some more time before giving up on that venue for sale of these items.

I fear that this post will open up a can of eBay flame worms, so I ask that we keep the bashing to a minimum. :]

I won't post here again until I have something new to share.

Thanks,
-Jason

Howdy-

Lessons learned when selling homebrews on eBay:

1 - Don't use the word "homewbrew" in the listing anywhere. Doing so causes a warning message to appear when submitting the listing (indicating suspicion that you're selling something that makes copies of copyrighted materials or that allows for bypass of region protection) the listing to be flagged & reviewed & possibly removed. A few tests showed that you can actually instead write "home brew" & that warning message won't pop up during listing submission.

2 - If you do have a problem with listings being pulled, the customer service number doesn't seem to actually get you anywhere. Ask for the Limits Department, wait on hold for 65 minutes, & then enjoy speaking with somebody who understands your issue & can take resolution action instantly, while you're on the phone.

My previous listings have been restored:

3D Scape Cart
Color Clash
Debris Revisited
Performance VX
Pitcher's Duel
Protector / YASI
Shifted
Soccer Football (non-US ver of Heads Up)
Spike Hoppin'
Tour de France
Vectoblox
V:Hockey
Vecmania
Vector Pilot
Vectrexians
Web Warp (non-US ver of Web Wars)

And I've added many more:

3D Imager manual only
Art Master + box (this goes live tomorrow so that it will end with the rest--I had a typo in the listing & had to end it early)
AutoFire Dongle, like new
AutoFire Dongle, like new
AtariVox+, Vectrex Enhanced, shrinkwrapped new
Stickers: 4 custom cut vinyl stickers
VecVox in custom case
