MC019 Copyright Violation Question
Hello all,
I recently had two similar items removed via a VERO report, which resulted in a MC019 for each of the two items. The number in the parentheses after the "Unauthorized Item ()" is the same, and the items were removed at the very same minute, so I assume this indicates the VERO member reported both items at once on the same form, rather than reporting through separate submissions. Does this count as one strike or two strikes against my record? That is, is a 'strike' against my account for VERO violation based on item removals resulting from a single submitted report, or are the strikes that lead up to the 7-day suspension based strictly on a per-item basis? The discussions on this site seem to be ambiguous about whether the tally of strikes on your account for trademark or copyright violations relate to the number of individual reports, or the actual number of individual listings involved. Any help or opinions on this matter would be greatly appreciated. The reason I am worried is that I had one additional item of the same type listed that closed without bids, but is still visible in a completed listings keyword search of the past 15 days; I want to know if my account can take another hit if that completed-but-unsold auction is found and gets VERO'ed in the near future.
