LOL, that is a new addition to their policy and did not used to be there. I stopped mass selling on eBay around Aug/Sep last year. I'm actually glad to see it but it goes back to my early posts. If you have seperate emails for your accounts (which you have to) eBay is not going to do anything unless someone turns you in. Does your competitor know which accounts are yours? Probably not. So, since no one is turning you in go for it. Afterall most ppl don't even know you can't sell more than 10 of the same item at one time. The only reason I know is because someone turned me in. Then I called eBay and they told me I could have multiple ids and sell the same thing thus resulting in more than 10 auctions/day. Apparently now you can not do this. When you are caught on eBay they end your auctions. Sometimes all of them, but they credit you back all the listing fees so the only thing you lose is the potential to make money. Cancelled auctions cost you nothing in fees.
Some of the shit that goes on competitor wise gets pretty nuts. Once I had 40+ auctions for diet pills cancelled because I did not say they are ephedra free. I called eBay and said ephedra is illegal in the US now and my pills are ephedra free. they said well the person that "ratted you out" (my words) said that trimspa used to have ephedra in it. True statement but the trimspa x32 I was selling never had ephedra in it but eBay didnt care. they took the informants words and that is that. When you are doing a few grand a day on eBay you get to learn that you just live by their rules. What happens happens and you move on. Getting lost in the moment or in the past does nothing but harm your future business.
