Removed Listing - has it been reported by vero or another E-Bayer????
I received several of the following messages from E-Bay regarding listings they had removed for trademark infringement:-
"MC019 eBay Listing Removed: Trademark Breach - Unauthorised Item
Dear
Thank you for your recent Fixed Price listing on eBay. Unfortunately, your item(s) breached one or more of our policies and had to be removed from the site. Any associated fees have been credited to your account and any bidders on this item have been notified.
Why did we remove your listing?
Trademark infringement is unlawful and breaches eBay's policies. A trademark is a unique sign (such as a name, word, phrase, logo, or symbol) that a company uses to identify its products and/or services.
Using another company's trademark in a way that may confuse buyers about the source of goods or services, or confuses buyers into believing that the seller is affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by the trademark owner is both illegal and against eBay's policies. Examples include counterfeits, unauthorised replica items and items that bear the brand or logo of a company without that company's permission.
Guideline: If the product you are listing bears the brand or logo of a company, but it wasn't made or authorised by that company, don't sell it on eBay.
You may not deny knowledge of, or disclaim responsibility for, the authenticity or legality of any item you list, for example by adding a disclaimer to your listing. Before listing an item on eBay, you should make sure that you're legally able to sell the item and that it's authentic. If you're not sure whether an item is authentic, please don't list it on eBay.
Has my listing been removed because it has been reported by Vero or is it just that another E-Bayer has reported it to limit competition? I have tried to get an answer from E-Bay but to no avail!! I may be being naive here but surely E-Bay wouldn't pull listings just on another E-Bayers say so???? If it is the case that another E-Bayer is reporting the listings is there anyway to find out who it is? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
