Actually under the letter of the law and speaking from my past experiences with VERO members they fall under several categories.
Example: Sports jerseys (NFL, MLB, NBA etc) are usually handled by a law firm as "representatives" of the Adidas, Reebok, Mitchell and Ness group (s). They claim to have "experts" who can tell just by the image the seller posted if its real or not...which is bull****. Over the course of time what I've discovered is if you pull an image of a jersey from the internet your chances of having the item removed and receiving a letter from the law firm demanding money is 70% higher than if you use a digital camera and post your own images.
In this case these people are an office of Paralegals who sit around reviewing sports jersey listings on eBay in an attempt to drum up money for the firm by threatening the sellers with prosecution. Normally after the 2nd letter (which doesnt even arrive via certified mail like most legal mail from law offices) they stop the threats and its pretty much forgotten. But trust me, they not only demand up to 500.00, they also demand you report who your supplier is, and expect for you to send all of your current supply to them for destruction.
The only way around them is to have an attorney file a court order to "Cease and Desist", with "Interruption of Business". Trust me..they wont deal with another law firm simply because its not worth the costs to fly out from New York to your judicial court and file a courst case based on assumption from their so called "experts".
The 2nd type is normally an employee of the companys' "brand" that you are selling. This is normally their daily job to search eBay for their products being sold.
Again the red flag is the image you use..always snap your own digital images. Sometimes you can even contact the VERO member and they will contact eBay and the item will be relisted. But stay polite to them no matter how pissed you are.
