The vero program is practically criminal. When you get a violation 99% of the time it is from a 3rd party company that gets paid by the source company to report people. in this case it is the NFL, who realistically could not care less what happens. The third party companies enters a contract to report on their behalf and gets paid accordingly. (they are basically "ambulance chasers") and repport without actual proof because the more they report the more they get paid.
If you contest it they are required to send you proof in writing which they will ever do and you also can challenge it and the NFL will have to go to appear in court which they will never show up for.... imagine a lawyer for the NFL going to court against a small ebay seller selling a used t-shirt lol.
Unfortunately even though it is your legal right to oppose these vero's as i mentioned- the ebay vero dept will stonewall you and not provide the name and address of the company that filed the vero ( even though they are legally required to do so.
We went through this several times a few years ago with selling Genuine Case equipment parts- (new in the packaging with Case OEM Genuine logos printed right on the packaging!) / these were purchased directly from a Case dealership that was selling off their old stock. After weeks of calling ebay - they finally gave us the vero reporter and it was something like "Bobs vero reporting llc" !!!!! / ebay refused to let us challenge the vero. Once officially challenged- the reporter has 10 business days to respond and if they do not, you automatically win the challenge.
It is basically a racket. Ebay charges companies tons of money to be on the vero protected rights system so now you can understand that t has nothing to do with protecting licensing rights, its about a revenue stream for ebay.
And that is why its not worth fighting- you can win against ebay- the game is rigged
