I list a item ... 5 minutes later it gets taken down as counterfeit.

I listed a Husqvarna hat last night ... 5 minutes later it gets taken down for being counterfeit. 

Because the takedown was so quick, it had to be taken down by a ebay bot and not as a request from Husqvarna.

I've fought these kind of takedowns before but I always has a receipt. 

This time no receipt.  These hats were given to me by the Local Husqvarna rep.

Do you think a letter from the Husqvarna rep would help me win this case if I decide to fight it?

I guess i'll have to close down my factory in the Philippines that makes counterfeit hats.     😉

'314' hats others listed by sellers...LOL.

And I had to look up what it is...a cap with a name on it.

Sure it wasn't another seller who reported it? 

Not worth the fight...unless it's worth a lot of money...$100.+

I had Russian stamps taken down...4 listings out of 50+...only 4...why?

I took all the other listings down while hundreds of other sellers are selling 'Russian' stamps.

Would the condition of New or Used be a factor? Are listings with Used permitted?

...and not as a request from Husqvarna.

You get a VERO notice for those.  I'd vote for "bot" takedown.  People that report things now are just sent an auto response saying the listing did not violate policy. so someone else reporting it wouldn't be the reason.

 No. I doubt the bots have any memory that would prevent them from yanking the listing again the second time around.

I would say that your only chance of successfully listing it would be to start over with different photos, reworded title and a new description. I assume you took your own photos; did you include a closeup of the manufacturer's label inside?

I also vote that its a bot takedown.  There must have been some key word in the item description that was flagged by the bot.  @inhawaii: You should look through the item description, assuming you kept a copy, and see what word might be the one that the bot caught.  Also I suggest perusing through the item descriptions (and perhaps the item specifics) of your competitors' listings to see if there is a pattern on why theirs stayed up and yours only lasted five minutes.

I had a t-shirt given to me by a company rep taken down.

It's because they don't want you selling their merch.

Looking for 500 of them 

Seems like a good deal 

Give a Heads up upon Relisting    😂

I only had 4 of them to list.

My factory in the Philippines where I manufacture counterfeit hats could only crank out 4 hats.      😉

Thanks  

Maybe Next Time   

They really Looked real to me 

Sorry they ran out so soon

Stihl makes bot software.
    I'm terrified to refer to anything by it's manufacturer name anymore. 
I seriously don't know how used clothing sellers do it.

What makes you think a Representative wouldn't give away counterfeits?  They're substantially cheaper.
