I always hear how everyone gets listings removed and suspended by VERO... by bogus VERO complaints either from competitors, past buyers, or possibly even by say the manufacturers of the products who don't like their items having reduced street value by being sold for cheap on ebay.

So what kinds of items are the ones laregely getting people busted by the bogus VERO complaints?

I downloaded the VERO form and looked at it and it wants all this info. Not just an email address like people have said..........
