Hey Guys ,
I am hoping to get some support here and inform sellers who are in the same boat as i am now.

I had my listings removed on a few occassions because ebay suspected the item i sold as fake and deemed it had violated their policy . I have lost 2 weeks & counting of sales and all my effort in preparing the auctions up for sale . I have sent them tons of email demanding why did they removed my listings w/o explaination but reply i got back were canned answers and asking you to read their policies.

Below is what ebay sent me :::

We regret to inform you that your eBay account has been suspended for a period of no less than 7 days for violating eBay's Trademark Misuse policy.

Misuse of brand names, trademarks, and logos is both illegal and against eBay policy. This includes inappropriate comparisons to a branded item, selling counterfeit or replica items, and keyword spamming.

Unauthorized replicas of brand name products are not permitted on eBay. It is both against the law and against eBay policy to sell replicas that have not been authorized by the manufacturer.

Consequently, all of your current listings have been removed from eBay. During this period you will be unable to leave or receive feedback, bid on or sell items, or file for an Unpaid Item credit. Should you need to access information from listings which ended before your suspension period, you can do so by reviewing the notices you received at the time the listings ended.

We have taken this action only after careful consideration of the history of violations on your account. We have reviewed carefully each offense that led to this decision and verified that the correct action was taken.

While this suspension is active, you are prohibited from registering under a new account name or using another existing account to use our system in any way. Any attempt to reregister or use our system in any way will result in permanent account suspension with no possibility of reinstatement.

Please note that any seller fees due to eBay will immediately become due and payable. eBay will charge any amounts you have not previously disputed to the billing method currently on file.

You are very important to eBay and this period of time will help us to build a better relationship. We hope you will come away with a better understanding of our policies.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Regards,
eBay Trust & Safety

Ya Ya ...Blah Blah Blah .....

Fustrated , i spent $70 to have the last item i was selling authenticated that resulted in the suspension even though i knew they were 100% authentic as i bought them myself just so to get Proof. Now, here comes the "BIGGEST JOKE" & Ebay just shot themselves in the foot. Customer support name is
Albert ( Might be fake as they have many things to hide )~


History of what happened before below-mentioned email :

The company authenticating my product in question was in the Vero Program of ebay . Check www.ebay.ca/com > Vero Program > about me > Miscellenous> My Poupette Enterprises, INc. There are authorised by ebay to check authentification of Louis Vuitton items , Read what "Albert" had to say :

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to email us. My name is Albert and I will
be happy to assist you further.

I can understand your concern over this issue. Unfortunately without a
written consent from an authorized dealer of Louis Vuttion items, we
cannot give you permission to list your item on our site again. I do
understand that you have paid a third party to authenticate your item,
but again this would not be enough evidence to show that this item is
authentic.

Again, thank you for your email and please don't hesitate to let us know
if you have any further questions or concerns.

Regards,

Albert
eBay Customer Support

THey don't even know what they are talking about ?? So i got the President of Louis Vuitton Authentification resource centre to write a letter on my behalf, and to my surprise , she did , mind you, this company is authorised to autheticate all LV items by Ebay n Paypal, but "Albert" here for obvious reason doesn't know that .Below is her letter :

My Poupette Enterprises, Inc.

Independent Louis Vuitton Authentication Services

5240 Medina Road

Woodland Hills, CA 91364





April 6, 2006



To Albert, at eBay Canada:



My name is Angie Houston, President and founder of My Poupette.com. I am writing to request that you reinstate the eBay account for Mr. ************, as it was closed based on the listing of an authentic 1995 Louis Vuitton America’s Cup Portfolio (Ebay item :# 6865116662).



My web site specializes in authenticating Louis Vuitton products. I am an active consumer advocate for those who have been defrauded online, providing authentication letters, appraisals, and statements of condition, for auction web sites, insurance companies, police departments, Small Claims court, and credit card fraud claims, among other purposes.



I have been in this business online since 1999, and have had success in virtually every case, because I know the products I authenticate. When customers purchase fake designer bags on eBay, they need a Statement of Non-Authenticity, which my company provides. In California, eBay and PayPal specifically refer those buyers to My Poupette.com.



Personally, I have been a collector, authenticator, and appraiser of Louis Vuitton products for more than 15 years. My expertise is derived from having studied Louis Vuitton for over 25 years. I am recognized by Louis Vuitton’s U.S.-based attorneys as being instrumental in helping to eliminate counterfeit Louis Vuitton sales on the internet. I have also studied Hermès, Gucci, Christian Dior, Prada, Chloé, Chanel, Balenciaga, and Marc Jacobs handbags, and render professional opinions on the authenticity of those items as well.



Louis Vuitton (and most high-end designer companies) will not put statements about authenticity in writing because of the liability involved. People have misused such statements by putting them together with replica products. The primary reason my company exists is to put findings in writing, so that the average consumer can recover losses.



I have seen photos of the item in that listing and find that the Louis Vuitton Portfolio in eBay # 6865116662 is 100% authentic, and a desired collectible item. I sincerely hope this letter will serve to support you in reopening Mr. Oliver’s eBay account.



Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.



Yours truly,



Angie Houston

President

My Poupette Enterprises, Inc.

THIRD PARTY ???!!! YOU guys authorised this Company in your Vero Program .He must be either incompetent in his work or it simply tells me how ignorance he or the department can be!!!!!???

WE WILL FILE THIS CASE IN UNIFORM BUT IN ANY CASE , I AM GOING SOLO Nevertheless.

Reply with email address & Concern .

I now have the paper evidence i need to take this matter to court. I am now seeking a class-action arbitration suit against them n would like to openly invite sellers who have their account wrongfully suspended in error to post yr emails address and Concerns here and see what action can we take in uniform.

WE cannot take this no more n i hope this would at least voice our concerns so that the people in ebay would know we sellers are no push-overs and it is NO LONGER A VENUE ANYMORE!!! IT HAS DEFINATELY CROSSED THE LINE !!!!!!

Hi Hank, Tks for the feedback .

eBay has no standing in federal law to protect a third parties tradema...

You're welcome.

Look at all that HOT AIR being expelled out of Corn Cobb's Mouth.

How does attacking Bill Cobb help your cause.
