Returning an item through a forwarding company

[liveagaingoods]

I received an email that says I am not authorized to sell their product on eBay. I suspect it to be fraudulent because it did not go through eBay and of the First Sale Doctrine.There are also MANY other sellers with the same product up for sale.

Could it be a phishing email?  

How can someone email me and also know my name? 

Any input

Your best course of action is to contact eBay directly with this issue.   I would suggest you send an e-mail to eBay through the site and call customer support.  People could know your name and e-mail from previous PayPal transactions and/or Google searches/Facebook.  I think most people would be surprised how readily available their personal information is on the internet.

Probably not - RS would just pull a VERO takedown

If the message was not sent via a snail mail method that requires a signature, then it is just smoke from someone who is simply trying to claim a right they do not have.

Still, it would be nice to know what the product is, so I can add them to my list of legal parasites to never give business to.

Never use email for ebay business.

Past buyer, 2014 eBay data breach, social networking, public records, and any of a number of other methods depending on how careful you are about what you do on the internet and who you give information to.

If you would like me to take a look at the email (I'm fairly proficient at email vetting), PM me here.
