Don't know why my item received a VeRO violation.

I was selling 3 new in package remotes that I purchased at an estate sale. I have other remotes by this company listed and have sold several - some new, some used. These 3 listings were recently pulled for VeRO violations. Charter/Spectrum is not on the VeRO list and there are no details about why it was pulled. No mention was made of the items being counterfeit or other typical VeRO issues. I reached out to the email provided at Charter to ask about it but, of course received no response. Anybody have any idea what this is about? I feel like this happened:

Don't do it?

Do what?

You know.

Know what?

And, if it happens again, we'll suspend you.

If what happens?

Sigh.

I just had a used TWC/Charter/Spectrum Clikr-5 remote pulled for VeRO. Apparently, Charter doesn't want you selling them, and all they have to do is claim Counterfeit Item and Ebay will remove it. Sucks that they don't have to prove it's fake, but I have to prove it's real.

Spectrum is an internet provider isn't it? Yeah they don't want people stealing their remotes and reselling them more than likely when they are probably charging 3-5x on their own website.

Makes sense.

Wish eBay had a VERO list so people know what to sell and not to.
