After several attempts to understand the reasons that led to my permanent ban, I received a refusal from them… I was supposedly blocked « for attempting to sell sexually explicit items or services »!
Obviously, this is ridiculous. It’s impossible to prove my good faith! I am discouraged by so much injustice and mistreatment.
There, I protested, I sent links to the author, to the Wikipedia page of the title, and I was reinstated on Monday morning as soon as a French person returned to the office to look.
It’s the images that cause problems, not the texts. I have Sade’s books for sale, no problem, even though it’s impossible to get more pornographic.
Conclusion: take no risks. If an image shows nudity, I partially mask it. Some also take photos from afar so that the algorithms don’t freak out at the sight of nudity.
The only thing that comes to mind is that I listed socks for sale right before the message announcing my ban. I find it hard to believe that this was the offending listing, but who knows…
Thank you for this informative exchange. I sell a few books on my personal account (and fashion as a professional), and thanks to you, I now know to avoid posting covers showing nudity.
Many on Vint Aide mention being banned.
Could we try to list all the situations that have led to a ban? This would help anticipate…
Over to you for experience sharing…
