Sometimes they do. VERO owners are given sweeping powers to take down your auctions without any ebay involvement whatsoever,
They sign something like "I agree to do my best, to do my duty, to God and my country to take down only auctions that are to the best of my knowledge infringing or potentially infringing so help me God"
If your account scorecard is on the wrong side of the tracks the account is gone without a warning. Just because some VERO member on the 58th floor thought it might be potentially infringing or your account has a good chance of potentially infringing in the future.
VERO warning
