Why do i have 2 items "under review for 48 hours"

I have listed, along with other pieces of costume jewelry two necklaces of semi-precious stones – specifically one is rhodochrosite and quartz; the other is onyx and bone. They are not expensive stones, but they are considered semi-precious – as in formed naturally, rather than man made. That doesn’t mean they’re valuable.

So, what’s up with the “review?” And, why should it take 48 hours? Is Bonanza so short-staffed they don’t have anyone available to resolve these sorts of issues?

So, further, what are they going to review? Are they going to be looking up the definitions of the semi-precious gems; are they expected me to send them to them so they can take them to someone who can verify what they are?

This is bothering me a lot.

Don’t relist them. We have done that, deleted item under review, re-listed, then all of a sudden the review one pops back up in our store and we then have duplicate listings. [URL removed] [URL removed]

This is an official Bonanza response.

Sorry for the confusion. Items get reviewed for various reasons. Mostly if the item is in a high-risk category, or if it has a keyword that we have identified as one needing review. For example, if an item listed has a title of “Chanel handbag” then we may require a manual 48-hour review before posting it for sale (mostly because this is a category/keyword that we have deemed high-risk). Other times it could be a brand item that we were ordered to manually review to prevent counterfeit items from being posted for sale. Hope that helps.

I’m not sure it helps.

It’s gotten worse now. I tried rewriting the 2 listings to remove words that might be misintrepreted, and then cancelled the 2 that were on hold. The newest 2 are also being held hostage – except that they have totally disappeared. There is no trace of them anywhere. What is going on here?

I did a fake listing on one using your words, and it went thru. I am going to try to copy your description as you have it, and see what happens. will let you know.

misskeech says: October 25, 2016

well, cant do that since i cant see your listing since it is not listed! But i put in the words that seem to be in question, and it still went thru. if you want to send me your listing description, ill try to list it, and see if it gets flagged. Maybe we can narrow down what the problem is.

I have no problem before until know all my items get a review when they are listed for parts and repair and all sales final for a laptop

I don’t think it’s because of rhodochrosite, quartz or onyx.

I would rather think about the ‘bone’ part. Have You specified the kind in Your listing (camel, yak, tiger, ivory, etc.)?

Some of them can’t be offered because of international trade restrictions and treaties banning the sale of such items.

I have no idea what kind of bone, except to state absolutely that is is certainly not camelm yak, tiger or ivory. Probably whatever bone is the least expensive for an artist to use. Given the amount of work in the piece, it is for sure not ivory, nor restricted bone

cshort0319 says: October 25, 2016

The other thing is, if it’s the “bone,” then why have both necklaces been removed – and they are now absolutely gone with no explanation from Bonanza about what the reason is.

So, give them these ~48 hours for the required review procedure… For now, You have Mark’s general explanation about various reasons of this action.

ArtistsUnion says: October 25, 2016

“then why have both necklaces been removed” – I don’t see Your listing, so I can’t guess the other term(s) used there, which could cause this review.

What in the world is going on with this? I’ve been listing jewelry for years and years and years here – ever since this place opened! And I’m under review now? Why??? What triggers this?

I sell mainly dinnerware. I can see that the use of certain keywords such as “Bone” “Nazi” “war medal” etc might cause an item to be flagged for review. today, you have 151 tea cups on review. I cannot see what is so alarming in the description of a tea cup. While I understand the need to perform due diligence on listed items, honestly Bonanza, you need to ease up a bit. Many of us have been selling online for years on other venues and have never had as many red flagged items under review as I have seen in just over one month with you. If it upsets your sellers, then ultimately, it’s not great for you as a marketplace. If I might suggest that you tone down a bit on the reviews to the point where the words “tea cup” or “cup and saucer” do not cause an item to be flagged for further investigation.
