VeRO and restricted words FAQs: lists, refreshes, and risks

VeRO is eBay's Verified Rights Owner program, which lets brands ask eBay to remove listings that use their name without permission. Listing these brands can lead to removed listings and account limits on eBay.

DropFlowLister's VeRO list comes from the DropFlowLister server and loads into the extension after you sign in. The DropFlowLister team maintains it and adds brands and keywords from user suggestions after review.

VERO Brands are protected brand names checked against the product's brand. VERO Keywords are protected words checked against the product's title.

DropFlowLister refreshes the VeRO list after you sign in, every hour, and whenever you click Refresh from Server.

Each refresh replaces the VERO Brands and VERO Keywords lists with the server version. Put words you always want blocked in Skip Keywords or Restricted words instead.

Restricted words is your own list in Profit Hunter of words to keep out of product titles. Skip Keywords is your own list in each Flow Lister, and products whose title has any of those words are skipped.

Click Report in the popup header and pick VERO Suggestion or Keyword Suggestion. Suggestions go to admin review before they reach the shared list.

The product's brand matched the VeRO brand list, or its title did when the brand was generic. Flow Lister skips it to protect your account.

Many products list their brand as "Generic" or "Unbranded" while the real brand name is in the title. Flow Lister checks the title against the VeRO brand list in those cases so protected brands don't slip through.

This message means the VeRO list didn't load on that page. Check the brand yourself, then click Refresh from Server in Flow Lister and refresh the product page.

No. VeRO protection lowers your risk, but no list covers every brand, and rights owners and marketplaces make the final call. VeRO and keyword checks are aids only. They aren't complete, can make mistakes, and don't replace your own review of each listing.

DropFlowLister's VeRO protection checks products before you list them. Other DropFlowLister tools, such as the Listing Sanitizer in Boost My Listings and Flow Tracker, can check listings you already have.

The Restricted words list starts empty until you add words. Open Profit Hunter and type your words, or click Load Defaults.

The VeRO controls in DropFlowLister are in the eBay Flow Lister, Single Lister, and Profit Hunter. Yes. The VeRO lists apply to Poshmark listings too. The Poshmark Flow Lister also has Skip Keywords for words you want to avoid.
