I really want to know the answer and when I get the violation notice it says 'Violation of TOS', but for the life of me I can't figure out what the violation is. I tried the question once and when it got deleted I figured someone was just cranky so about a week later I tried it again and it was listed as a violation a second time.The question is:"On half.com forums I keep seeing people talk about dropshipping, what is it and how is it done?"I have my Q&A's private so someone couldn't have looked through them and reported me (if I ticked someone off), so I figure with 2 violations maybe it does violate some part of the TOS... I just can't figure out what exactly.Thanks.The first time I posted it in 'General - Internet' because I was seeing it on a website.The second time I posted it in I believe business - general (or something similar) since it seemed to be a business term.

I don't know why it would be a violation, but I will answer your question. Dropshipping is when an item is distributed from the manufacturerer's warehouse, not the warehouse of the store. I hope that answers the question -s

I don't know why anyone would have reported you but here is a whole wikipedia site that explains what "dropshipping is."

Maybe you've been putting it in the wrong section. Or if you put it in the same section both times, maybe someone who frequents that section doesn't like you... OR... maybe one of your contacts is a traitor, and is the one doing the reporting. Either way, here's a definition of "dropshipping" courtesy of Wikirop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to wholesalers, who then ship the goods directly to the customer . The retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.

well you can check the guidelines, but I do not know what that is so sorry.

I have no idea why that question would violate the TOS."Dropshipping" occurs when whatever you are buying from "Company A" is not physically in inventory, but they will order it from their supplier and have it shipped directly to you, instead of recieving it themselves and then forwarding it to you.

Maybe it's something of advertisement of another website?

I had a question removed by yahoo and don't know why.And I don't know how to contact them and ask them why.My question was what do others do to get rid of panic attacks without using drugs.I just don't understand it.

it's probably because you put the website's name on it. I guess it automatically deletes those questions because it thinks it's spam or something.Also, sometimes my questions will get deleted just because no one has answered them in the 3 days

I don't see anything wrong with your question, but the trolls do so otherwise. There's no Community Guidelines or Terms of Service violation in it at all. It's just that the trolls who are responsible for reporting others' posted content all for nothing and caused them to be removed. This is just a shame. Maybe they don't realize their abusing the report abuse function is in direct violation of the Community Guidelines. It won't be long before they get their accounts suspended for this foolishness they're pulling. Just hope and pray this happens.And as for you, just send an email to Customer Care at the following address:answers-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.comTitle of the message should be: "Violation Challenge email."Explain in detail why your question was erroneously removed and send the message off. Please be patient as Customer Care gets swamped with emails on this matter.
