Hi--Just my 2 cents...
My best friend had a situation with Vero a few months back. It made her SO nervous--and me too, just hearing the threats. Since this has indeed happened to someone very close to me recently, I would have to say this may very well be legit.
I do believe in your situation however that is indeed just a "threat" to deter you from further sales. From first hand watching my friend's experience, I would agree also, to just ignore it--absolutely DO NOT respond<< Even though you may feel compelled to. Especially, if there is "false" information attached to your account, there is virtually no way they can enforce anything. Ebay is by no means permitted to share your info. With my friends experience, the Vero member DID contact a few of her prior customers--got the info. from past auctions from the feedback, but ebay did not hand her info. over. Her real name and info. was on this Ebay acct. so it could easily be obtained. From the advice of members of this forum, she ignored all further emails from the Company and not too much has happened since--knock wood.
This stuff is way too hard to prove "intent". If you respond in ANY way, you may mistakenly admit guilt to something and then you may have given them something to go on. Absent a response, they have NOTHING--especailly without a sale....
Don't worry---Just trying to scare you. If nothing came out of her situation, nothing is going to come out of yours...Don't loose sleep, that's what they count on |
