So... I was selling quite a few things before the holidays, and I was shocked when I woke up and saw that ebay took of my Tifannys keychain listing.
It was authentic, and I dont understand why they did this.
they did this to me about 2 years ago also when I tried selling a BRAND NEW ipod.
the email said
[FONT=Arial, Verdana]eBay Listing Removed: Trademark Violation - Unauthorized Item[/FONT]
" [FONT=Arial, Verdana] Trademark infringement is unlawful and violates eBay's policies. A trademark is a unique sign (such as a name, word, phrase, logo, or symbol) that a company uses to identify its products and/or services.
Using another company's trademark in a way that may confuse buyers about the source of goods or services, or confuses buyers into believing that the seller is affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by the trademark owner is both illegal and against eBay's policies. Examples include counterfeits, unauthorized replica items and items that bear the brand or logo of a company without that company's permission.
Guideline: If the product you are listing bears the brand or logo of a company, but it wasn't made or authorized by that company, don't sell it on eBay.
Review of this listing indicates that the item infringes a trademark. It is both against the law and against eBay policy to infringe trademark laws. Due to security around eBay's review processes, the indicating factors cannot be disclosed. "
Can someone pleaseee explain this to me because every other tiffanys listing looked just like mine!!!
Thanks.!
