I just got notice from ebay that one of my listings was removed after being reported by Fendi.

The removed item was a small Coach bag!

The removal was triggered by my use of "baguette" in the listing. Apparently, "baguette" is a trademarked term owned by Fendi. (In my mind, baguette meant that it was a small bag!)
 
Sadly, Fendi does have a trademark on the word:
