Send a listing takedown notice

A takedown feels personal to a seller. A calm notice that names the rule, the fix and the appeal path keeps the relationship intact.

Last reviewed

Say what was removed

Name the listing so there is no doubt which one it is.

Name the rule it broke

Link the exact policy, not a general terms page.

Say what they can change

If a fix would let the listing return, list the steps.

Explain the appeal path

Say how to appeal and how long a decision takes.

Keep the tone neutral

State facts and avoid blame.

Log the decision

Record the reason in the ticket for consistency next time.

Questions

Should we warn before removing?

For small issues, yes. For safety or legal ones, remove first and explain right away.

What if they reply angrily?

Stay calm, restate the rule and point to the appeal.

Can the AI send these?

It can draft them. A person should confirm each removal.
