I've seen many over time get bumped that sell the currencies themselves. But there's always listings up, new id's in many cases. I think the money's probably too good for some people to stay away from this market. 1 seller I've had saved awhile really cracks me up- he sells warcraft guides among other things- a large collection of guides he's found others created and then he puts this hilarious copyright notice that says he has a lawyer ready to go sue people that knock him off. Kind of like a bootlegger going after people who knock off his bootlegs lol
My guess on the golf balls is some companies respond at the regional level- uk division going after uk sellers etc. Also, I imagine VeRO tool is set up for each eBay site. Some will be using market research tools and have not subscribed to every country- and don't think that private listings/feedback protect you here. They only protect the regular eBay completed listings view.
J (then lincoln's 1st name) really goes after people. If I posted his name, he would find this site and throw a fit. He's a marketing consultant who charges big money for his stuff. His receptionist combs ebay for his stuff and gets listings taken down if you have multiple sets of something, even over a period of time. He has taken small time people to court in the past from what I hear- doesn't matter how many thousands of dollars he earns in a day, gets really mad if he thinks someone is making a couple bucks off his material no matter how big of a waste of time it is for him.
