hello there
basically you sold some Vero items ( items which are branded and their legal owner lobbies ebay to stop sellers from listing them)
If you continue listing those items your account will be suspended forever. There is no way to fight it unless you can prove the items you listed were authentic.

Well one thing for sure, whatever the item was do not put it back on Ebay again.

And be very cautious after the 7 day period. Consider yourself lucky that they give you a warning and didnt shut you down completely.

One of my account got 7 days restriction then right after I posted another VERO item and go another 7 days restriction then right after I posted another VERO item and got one month restriction. After that I never posted VERO items again! Lesson learned.
