Default Trademark violation on Authentic Mitchell & Ness jerseys

Hi, I listed a couple Authentic Mitchell & Ness MLB jerseys last Friday. Today, I got an email about a policy violation but not the MC999 one, just said appears to be a Trademark Violation. I legit bought these jerseys from Mitchell & Ness on black Friday sale a few years ago.

Should I call Ebay first or call M&N to try to get someone to verify they are the real deal.

I cant relist them for 7 days anyway, but has anybody proved items are legit and got ebay off their backs?

I have 1200+ feedback and never had a problem before. I usually sell comic books and baseball cards.

Thanks.

Do'nt relist them fullstop until you get permission.

You can submit the receipt of purchase to eBay, and get them to accept it. This sometimes works if you get a good knowledgeable rep.

If its been a VERO trademark take down, you can contact the VERO member on the email, but 9/10 they wont reply to you.

I wouldn't risk listing them again if you value the account.

The brand owner can ask for there items to not be sold even if they are legit items. Save your time and sell them somwhere else.

Out of curiosity, did you list as new or used?

I wouldn't relist this after 7 days. You'll get hit with a tougher limitation.

I listed them as new cause I never used them. They still have the retail tags on them.

Due to level of counterfeiting on such item, they clamp down quite hard. I would of thought if you listed it as used, and had pictures showing the actual item, you may get away with it.

But a new one, high risk item, it was bound to get removed im afraid.

It wasn't a Vero takedown though because there wasn't a contact in the email. It just said make sure the items are legit in the future. If I cant get Mitchell & Ness to help out should I relist as used? Crazy thing is my real jersey is wool and the Chinese jerseys that are still on ebay are cotton.

I really would just pass and try flog it elsewhere. You will put your entire account at jeopardy if you relist (even if used) as you're account is flagged now, so they'll most likely watch it like a hawk to see if you do relist it.

Wish is fairly popular. Although I've only heard poor reviews all round about them. Might work for you. They have traffic, thats the only plus point.

Definitely do not relist them, the next one will be a 30 day suspension at least.

Have you tried facebook marketplace perhaps?
