Frequently Asked Questions

Is scanning eBay listings for banned keywords free to use?

The banned keyword scanner is free and protects resellers from eBay VERO takedowns that can freeze $20K+ in active inventory without warning. A single VERO complaint costs more in lost sales, relisting time, and a potential account strike than most sourcing hauls. Catching a flag like "inspired by" or "replica" before posting takes seconds and removes the risk of losing an eBay listing history if strikes accumulate.

How do I scan my eBay listing for VERO banned words before I post?

Banned keyword scanning catches eBay VERO violations, "replica" language, and off-platform payment phrases before a listing posts. Paste the title and description into a scanner that cross-references terms across eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari at once — flagging anything that triggers automatic policy review. Resellers selling branded-adjacent thrift finds use scanners to catch loose phrasing before it results in a VERO takedown and listing removal.

Is eBay VERO or Poshmark more strict about "inspired by" in a listing title?

eBay VERO hits "inspired by" listings faster than Poshmark because brand rights holders file automated complaints that remove listings within hours. Poshmark runs a general policy review that takes longer to act, while eBay VERO takedowns bypass manual review entirely. Resellers who flip branded-adjacent items — licensed merch, designer-inspired styles, or off-brand electronics — face higher eBay removal risk per listing in 2026.

What keywords actually trigger an eBay VERO takedown in 2026?

eBay VERO in 2026 flags "inspired by," "replica," "dupe," and "compatible" alongside certain brand names and off-platform payment language. Brand rights holders across luxury goods, software, and entertainment submit keyword-triggered VERO complaints at scale. A listing with even one flagged term in the title risks removal before it collects a single view, stalling inventory that could otherwise flip profitably.
