proof ebay does strange things..
 

I had an auction up selling a T-mobile sidekick cell phone. I used all of my own pictures and wrote my own description. My auction was ended and I got this in my email:

This is the sort of BS that got me banned the first time around. Should I email them and try to set them straight, or would this just call un-needed attention to my stealth account?

I find it really strange, Ive sold many used phones, unless it is widely copied like iphone its strange, is it new? Its the rights owner email though, I wouldnt mess with them normally but if you have some proof of purchase it may be ok to email them - its really unfair. I agree though, sometimes annoying them about real goods, can get you banned, happened to me too, although they didnt admit that was the reason obviously, some goods they just dont want listed even if genuine..

Thyre natzis lol

Same type of situation that got me kicked off too.
WTF? what's next want to sell a Cadillac Escalade, but you can't use the words Cadillac or Escalade?

^^^Not such a good example. Surely if the car's a Cadillac it would be sold in ebay motors? If it's an item associated with a brand name, then the listing would need to be carefully prepared. The rights owners can be nasty:we all now that :peace:

Often those messages don't contain the contact info for the VeRO member. If that info is missing, then you was ratted out by a competitor, not the VeRO member.

If it really was a VeRO member, about halfway down the email, there will be a contact email address or phone number.
