Why doesn’t eBay remove "identical listings" that violate its policies? | Suggestions and Feedback on the eBay Platform

Hey, you really don’t need more than the title here - especially in the trading card universe, there are tons of providers, some of whom have up to 200 identical listings online. According to the "General policy for listing items," for example, it is not allowed to list the same fixed-price offer multiple times in slightly modified form. The same sad story everywhere in the listings: same images, same item description, same price, and the same offer title extended by "#1, #2, #3, #4 etc." and that in hundreds of listings. It really is like a plague sweeping over my search results. Is that the point? Why doesn’t Ebay take action against this when it is supposedly prohibited by their own policies? In the past, I’ve even sent reports about this content to Ebay, but what happened was exactly... nothing? Has anyone else had experiences like this? It’s really super annoying... And before anyone asks: Yes, I’ve already adjusted my search results and blocked various sellers or excluded them from my search. But at the end of the day, it also comes down to the fact that other private sellers or their listings פשוט aren’t being seen because the search results of potential buyers are being flooded with this kind of nonsense. Best regards, Timo
