Just to be clear: I never used the disclaimer, so I don't know if it works. IF my account is reinstated, I won't really be in any position to try it, hence my question.
If anyone has any more specific information, examples or links to past discussion on this forum, I'd really appreciate it.
On it's face the disclaimer does make sense and eBay's rules never refer to anything like a screener-- just says "Unauthorized copies include (but are not limited to) backup, pirated, duplicated, or bootlegged copies." Screeners are none of these.
I'm not disputing they cannot be sold: I don't really know. I'm not going to rely on the messages printed on them from the networks/studios. I see a number of sellers, of various ages and FBs, with the same items, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong/differently.
But I AM guessing that if eBay is willing to loose my $3,000 a year in fees, that they are illegal to sell.
And ultimately, it doesn't really matter, I am at their mercy.
For others interested in the subject, I've been selling items like this regularly for about 9 months. The first removed item was a factory sealed DVD that was not yet released. The second was a FOX screener, rather old.
This time I had bunch of DVDs up, and a few of very recent shows up, episodes unavailable on DVD and even one that had not yet aired. Definitely pushing things.
I will post with updates on the reinstatement, if only for posterity.
