Re: brand name list database
There are tens of thousands of brands. Think about it - everything from food, to laundry detergent, to jewelry and electronics is a brand.
Even within categories, some brands are OK to sell and some are not. For example, it would be extremely foolish to try to list a Rolex Watch on eBay unless you can prove it is authentic. Your listings will most likely be removed, eBay will require more information before you are allowed to reinstate the listing and the VERO member might want to speak with you as well. But you can list all of the "Donald Trump" watches you like, nobody is going to bother you.
Same thing with DVD's. As Greenbean mentioned Disney is VERY protective of their copyrights - they always have been, probably because Walt was screwed out of copyrights on some early characters he created. So, listing the Disney new releases, or the classic animated DVD's is an account killer. But you can list your 6 year old copy of "Alien Trespassing Zombies from Pluton" to your hearts content.
Be careful with hit items from popular brands, that is where the trouble is. Same thing for other things that can be ⊗⊗⊗⊗d, like gems, precious metals, autographs, etc. All of those things can easily cause you problems on eBay.
However, you should always feel free to contact the VERO member. If you can prove that your items are authentic, they JUST MIGHT give you their blessing, and then you are GOLDEN! They don't HAVE TO do this and some JUST WON'T, but some will. It never hurts to TRY.
