My profession is Management and Marketing and it revolves around outsourcing, ecommerce and marketing on the internet. Wise men say identify what you are passionate about and then see if ...

1. Marketplaces like eBay, Amazon, Walmart are big – you are not
2. Companies with trademarks to protect are also generally big and have lawyers – you don’t
3. Marketplaces have their own rules – whether you like them or not, you have to play by their rules
4. If they don’t want you to sell what they consider weapons, don’t. You may think it is a small knife but if they think it is a weapon, they are right, you are not.
5. If they don’t want you to sell what looks like a confederate flag, don’t.
6. If they restrict your account or close it – you can be in serious financial trouble.
7. Avoid the wrath of marketplaces and save your account
8. Block what needs to be blocked for a specific marketplace – why lose all sales
9. Use a service like UploadMyProducts.com to block based on:
   1. Distributor
   2. Manufacturer
   3. Category
   4. Product:
      1. Title
      2. SKU
      3. GTIN
   5. Keyword

Play it safe, stay within the rules and maximize your chances of success.

Good Luck!
