Unhappy Hi and help!

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I need help! My Ebay listings have been removed due to trademark infringement and email from Ebay stated that any questions regarding why the listings are removed should be emailed to Vero member. Naively, that's what I did and now I received a letter this morning stating that the products I have listed are counterfeit. In addition, attached to the email is also a "cease and desist" letter, asking me to: assure that I stop all sales of offending product, provide inventory list and hold onto the inventory and not return them to suppliers, provide all transactional details with suppliers and suppliers info, etc. The letter also stated that I have to respond within 7 days before they forward this matter to a lawfirm. In the email, they reference some Ebay Item# being removed, however, none of them are mine, even though I have listed the same product.

Please advise what I should do? HELP!

welcome

Ok ,do a search ,I have seen alot of threads re cease and desist letters. The bottom line is they are telling you not to sell their product due to trademark infringement.

So you still have your account? You are not banned yet? Good keep it that way and dont list anymore of those products on that account. See what your competitors are doing and getting away with...

To sell vero you should make more accounts and spread them more thinly but saying that, if it is an extremely hot vero, you will be chased around ebay every time you list, you have to make that decision.

If they are genuine, you have more power to complain (although not always, some vero owners dont want their stuff on ebay), if it is not genuine, all you can do is make sure you dont list too many, and make sure the pictures look right, and from an ethical point of view, also never claim something is genuine on listing if it isnt, the buyers usually know by the price what they are getting and there is a market for these items for sure with disposible fashion, right? One other way is by giving good pics but not mentioning the brand name, of course you get way less traffic on the item though..

Anyway, please have a good read and any questions, ask them on the appropriate thread, good luck ...

From a legal perspective, a cease and desist order via email is no order at all. It must be notarized with certificate of service and physically delivered as a printed document.

Also, if those numbers don't belong to your listings, even a proper legal cease and desist would end up null and void under scrutiny.

Somebody is trying to scare you into making their job easy. I'd ignore it or reply informing them of my desire to observe them as they evacuate their bladder vertically relative to a cluster of triple helix hemp fibers.

Then fill out the VeRO counter document.

Have a nice day.

you dont have to provide them with anything theyve asked for..but dont list them on that account again. I think it depends on whether they are counterfeit or not as to if you challenge it, personally I wouldnt, been there, they wriggle and squirm and waste your time, ultimately going to court is not worth my time, better to move on..

You got this letter mailed to you? Ugh so I am assuming they have your real address.

Was your name at the top of the letter?

Either way don't respond and don't sell their stuff/junk/products, whatever on that account - let it cool off.

No more response on your part - if your account is still in good standing, sell other things. Wait for a follow-up letter if any - most of the time these lawyers just do their routine accusatory letter.

Open up Stealths - don't use your real address - hawk the rest of your stock...if you want. end.
