eBay

I recently purchased some Giveaway PROMO bags from a seller on Ebay to resell. I was flagged that the items were counterfeit. I argueed the case and my item was reinstated. Only to be flagged again...however the entire time the person that sold me the bags was still selling. How is it ok for me to purchase the bags however I can't sell them...makes no sense and what I'm told by Ebay makes to sense either.

Just a guess is that the force is not with you.......may the force be with you in the future, good luck.

It could be your not paying your extortion money to Ebay, or at least to the right thief.

If it is as you say and the seller who sold these to you is still selling them without any problems, then you are talking with the wrong department on eBay. When you call eBay, make sure you ask for the Resolution Department and speak to those reps. If you are talking with Customer Service, you will get no help what-so-ever as they have no authority or power to do anything.

When you call and the automated answering comes on, just state 'no' to whatever department it thinks you want and quickly say 'Resolution Department'. You should be directed to that department right away. Explain to them your problem and be sure and do so in a calm and civilized manner if you expect any help from them. They are the only reps that actually have the power and authority to help you with anything. Give it a try and good luck to you.

Do you buy and sell on the same account? Maybe the seller you purchased from is reporting you because they don't want the competition.

What kind of bags? Like tote bags? Are they branded? or just some generic type of bag? Could it have been a VERO takedown if they were branded?

Sorry, really no clue, just throwing stuff out here...

A bot found you, and not him yet.

And this is what I mean when an item is removed, no matter what CS tells you do not relist this item again. The next take down could be fatal.

Even as this is being written you can buy fake peace dollars, morgan dollars, silver bullion and multiple other counterfeit items from China without Ebay (or the FBI?) giving a care. Why is it okay for China to sell counterfeit items on this money hungry site, whereas if you were caught selling one in the local store here in the U.S. , you would likely be tar and feathered (and then shot without a last request) ?

Because China does not have the same trademark violation standards that we have in this country, and Ebay knows that and protects them.

Counterfeits are not ok anywhere. Problem is in accurately identifying them, and in disciplining the people who sell them. We have no idea how many sellers are taken down from China or anywhere else.........justifiably or in error........

Well, perhaps it is like the joke about why sharks don't attack lawyers - professional courtesy.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.

From what Ive read about China's trademark infringement laws, the American mgfr must hire attorneys in China to represent them in court. And if the stats are true that there are thirty million sellers on Ebay, I would bet half of those sellers are Chinese scammers. So you are talking about mgfr's in this country paying millions of dollars in legal fees in China..probably not worth it to them.

Even if they have no IP rights being "violated" in China, they SHOULD be forced to follow US rules when listing on a US site.

"It's ok in China" is a pretty lame excuse for a venue to allow counterfeits to be listed by offshore sellers.

Reality is the leading cause of stress.

Agreed..but Ebay will never do that,with their huge Chinese revenue..they continue to shield and protect them.Meg Ryan was the one who shoved the Chinese market onto Ebay,knowing it would generate millions in sales.
