eBay's policy enforcement is not applied equally to all listings that are vape related, nor even to 2 listings for the same items...by 2 different sellers. Usually, if an item is ended by eBay after you manage to get it listed...it's because it was reported by another seller who has the same item listed him/herself.

Try misspelling it a little. Like "Inoken Proton" or "Inokin Protun" etc. Also try leaving off the brand name and call it "Proton mod" or just plain "Proton".

Better yet, get verified and sell it here on the ECF Classified section.

This is weird. I'm trying to list the Innokin Proton. But it keeps giving me the violation thing.

It's not eBay active but it's not dead either. All buyers and sellers are verified though, so prolly a bit safer than eBay.

I tried to get verified but either don't qualify, did something wrong or the person in charge of verifying is very busy. I'm just going to sit here and wait. Eventually someone will give in and verify me LOL

There is only one person that does the approvals ( J0ker) and he hasn't been logged in since April 30. Maybe they need to get someone else to help him do the approvals that is more active.
