hi .. i get this email :
Your payouts are currently on hold because your eBay payment account is restricted. A U.S. Court has directed eBay to freeze your account. Please reach out to plaintiff’s attorney at enforcement@sherinianlaw..net for more information and to resolve the matter.

the funny thing nobody contacted me to remove the listing ! which is chinese unbranded and mentioned clearly in description ! even the product is awful and  got only 1 sale and the profit is very low

any idea how to solve that !? i am not a us citizen and i have many physical problems and for sure i dont want problems or losing my account and always choosing my items as unbranded

Here's what it means:

Your career as an eBay seller using your CURRENT account are over.

And whatever you do, don't relist the item.
The lawyers are looking for a payday. You have to decide if you have enough funds to pay them off.
Most sellers can't afford to.
Yes...the future is pretty bleak.

Quit selling that counterfeit junk from China.

[justsimplestore]

it's come from nowhere with no warning or previous messages and of course i wont relist it .. any winner product get removed i never relist it ! so what about awful one

can you help me somewhere else

[justsimplestore]

i didnt know it's counterfeit and it's listed as unbranded ! .. i dont know what to do ..  any help ?

[tinsoldierunderground]

They never do come with any warning.  These new litigation tactics are known as SAD (schedule a defendant).

Corporations retain attorneys to seek out individuals online who are either selling knock offs of their products or are unauthorized to sell their product.   It's a sticky wicket for sure, as noted, the mods will remove any advice given here on how to get around it.

Just because you list it as unbranded, doesn't make it right.

As a seller, it's your job to know what you can and can't sell.

If it's being dropshipped from China, you can almost guarantee it's counterfeit.

[tinsoldierunderground]

In viewing your listings, I can see why you were targeted:  You've got a plethora of items that leave you wide open to the lawyers.🙄  

[justsimplestore]

when i search the problem quoting from the message i find the design ! is the problem !! and how can i know

i just choose the products and i put my own description

[justsimplestore]

i am not from usa and i dont know too much about these problems

its my first time ever

@justsimplestore 

I would seek legal council in your country sometime soon.

Good luck to you.

You need legal representation in the USA to deal with this, unless you are going to try to deal with and agree to a settlement with the lawyer. And pay.

Your listings are still alive, and Ebay will let you sell, but will not pay you.

If you do not followup with the lawyer or the court, you run the risk of losing all of the funds that Ebay is holding.

@justsimplestore 

It is your responsibility to KNOW.

"Hello Kitty" "Lego" "five nights at Freddys" ....Just to name a few are all listed as unbranded in your specifics.

YET you still used the brand name in the tittle for those counterfeit items. You are trying to pass off these items as legit. It is illegal.

I also doubt a silicone band for  a rolex.

This is a lawsuit factory that you are dealing with.
