Vero Questions
 

I wanted to list big brand accessories, all authentic. Will I be hit with a vero notice, and does eBay operate similar to Amazon, to were if you have verified invoices they will allow you to sell ?

If it's new account, then I dont recommend you do that

Re: Vero Questions
 

It is a game of roulette. But eventually, the bots will find you and smoke you with a violation.

As for your invoice question, ebay usually will vero you first and the email is a generated email with no return address. I'm sure people here have found a way to sell verified, but it is a huge headache and sometimes not do-able.

Re: Vero Questions
 

If you are a authorized distributor, Amazon is actually better ?

Re: Vero Questions
 

Probably if you can provide all the documents Amazon will ask for....

Re: Vero Questions
 

Why do this? Pick something else.

If you're a distributor or legit seller of branded property it wouldn't even be a question, so you're obviously not, so it'll just be trouble.

Re: Vero Questions
 

Never said I was, I asked a question. We have authorized invoices from these companies.

Re: Vero Questions
 

Authorized invoices... I'm not even clear what that means in these terms.

If you were a licensed distributor authorized to resell specific branded products you wouldn't ask the question at all.

I've been a licensed distributor and retailer of various branded products. You either are or you aren't. No middle ground.

And resale is something covered when they grant distribution and resale rights, it's a part of what you pay for and often pay royalties on. In most cases it's a long and arduous and extremely expensive process.

So, no, you're going to get hammered.

And if I were a rights holder who paid dearly for those rights and jumped through endless hoops and was paying sky-high royalties I'd be the first one hammering you down to protect my own investment.

Protect the investment - protect the brand.

Re: Vero Questions
 

Authorized invoice means invoices showing the product was purchase DIRECTLY from the brand. This is what I mean.

Re: Vero Questions
 

If you're not an authorized reseller, you can still get a VERO violation if brand notifies eBay.

Re: Vero Questions
 

Meaningless. You get that when you buy at a store/outlet, it's called a 'sales receipt'.

I stand behind my previous point, if you have to ask, ( and it seems you do have to ask ) you aren't a licensed distributor or authorized reseller and if you sell more than one or two you're done, DOA, finished, toast.

Slice it, dice it, put whipped cream and a cherry on top and call it anything you like, pretend all you want, you're NOT licensed to re-sell.

They may or may not get you right away, but your days will be numbered. The more you sell the shorter a time you'll last.

Re: Vero Questions
 

Since its new account you have to wait till 2/3 months. Other wise its to much risky

Re: Vero Questions
 

I know the difference. I received a "Invoice" from the brand which is dated, signed and confirmed, not a "sales receipt". Didn't purchase from a store/outlet.

Re: Vero Questions
 

Thank you, the account is about 2years old.

Re: Vero Questions
 

If you must sell these items... go at it one little bit at a time and have those invoices / receipts ready.

Remember, at times it's not about how old the account is, rather the reputation / history.

Re: Vero Questions
 

A 'signed invoice' doesn't any convey resale rights whatsoever or constitute permission to use a brand's name or logo in a subsidiary business.

Or you wouldn't ask.

And a 'signed invoice' won't stop EB from enforcing a VERO claim.

Re: Vero Questions
 

Very true but it does verify authenticity of goods.

Re: Vero Questions
 

Maybe, maybe not.

What is to prevent a vendor from mixing ⊗⊗⊗⊗ into the legitimate product mix, which is why you need to be an authorized brand re-seller to prevent the VERO issue.
