Use of Brand Names
I have gotten scolded three times now for using brand names. My question remains the same. Brand is on the list of questions that MUST be answered. In fact, on the sample template they keep sending me, it already has the brand name I am not supposed to use ON it.
Also, the scolding is never clear as to what the problem is. For example, my listing of a set of Husky X-Act floor mats came to me in a message saying I had violated someone intellectual property. So I removed Husky and spelled "exact" rather than using the x-act that I am sure someone thought up and found cute. Sort of like my other one. Kobalt objected to me using the name of an atomic element. How can you copyright the name of something existed before you did? But back to the question. Yes, it is going to be a question. So I have removed Husky and x-act and I keep getting this message. Both the AI and the lady I spoke with told me that it might take up to three months for that message to not pop up every time I open a tab. But when I finally got past this wall, the lady in the department that actually handles this, told me that it was the name of the floormat. This particular floormat says it was x-actly made for Nissan Frontier, and Nissan reported my theft of their property so I have to stop immediately and never do this sort of thing again. And this leads me to the question that no one has been able to answer for me. How do you sell something without telling people what it is. If I just stick a a photo of a set of Floormats before you, and fail to tell you what they are and which car they were xactly made for, you can't by them unless you are stupid. So how do I sell on ebay without using the name of the product? And the name of whatever the product was made for?
I really want to be a good boy, but I see that everyone else on here is using names and slogans and other works of artistic expression that someone thought up and figurered they were the only person who ever thought of it. I invented Google. I called it "SearchMachine" and everyone called it Search Engine. Then someone said it was like looking for something with goggles on. And all of my coworkers started calling it goggles. I tried to patent it. The patent office said, "it isn't a tool. It isn't even a thing. It doesn't exist in the real world. You can't patent it. You can copyright it, but you can't patent it. " Then some idiot in Russia patented it and spelled goggles incorrectly. Even got the colors wrong. Anyway, if you can answer this question for me, I'll owe you a coke.

Mentor2 years agoDo not relist until the matter is resolved.
Are you selling an authentic Husky item made by Husky, or a compatible that is similar or fits the same application?
Did you get a VeRO notice?
