I got the email from the law firm, asking for a large amount of money, plus all of my remaining stock, a list of everyone I sold to, and my supplier. Then the same letter (it was a large envelope, maybe 100 pages or so thick) came in the mail (non certified).
I stopped selling that on ebay completely, but I had to exhaust my inventory, so I switched to Amazon, sold out my stock, and did get banned from Amazon, the same email from the same law firm, the same scare packet in the mail. I have not sold that product again and will not (chi hair straighteners).
My own personal investigating, googling, experience, and consulting with lawyers told me that
1. They are just scaring you out of selling it. If they were serious, they would properly serve you. Never be scared of an email or even a letter in the mail. However, don't be retarded like an aforementioned friend in this thread- getting several notices, letters, etc, to cease and desist- if you blatantly continue to do so, they WILL follow through with the lawsuit. Cut it out, now!
2. DO NOT send them ANYTHING. Ignore it! Sending them your inventory- insane! Sending them anything, anything AT ALL- insane! Stupid! Just IGNORE IT. Unless, of course, you're a lawyer and you're selling legitimate sh*t. Otherwise, do not converse with lawyers if you aren't one yourself.
Ps not legal advice.
