Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) policy

[yesbestvalue]

I repeatedly have listings removed for items I have legally purchased and am reselling.  I buy various items at a lower cost and then resell them at a slightly higher price.  This is how I am attempting to make money.

I have the right to resell items I have legally purchased on the "First Sale Doctrine," but I'll have a listing removed from time to time, still claiming "Copyright infringement." 

It does no good contacting vero@ebay.com or the email that made the false claim against my listing.  I just get a canned response with no accurate information.  

My listing is just removed, and I am threatened about my account being closed if I relist.

Can we, as sellers, take no legal action in defense of our right to resell?  Does eBay not defend the sellers? 

Is eBay just a lost cause?

Very well said. So true about the harassing. But unfortunately truth is often silenced, while lies are celebrated. Ebay doesn't allow the questioner to defend themselves against the bullying. They censor the victims, not the perpetrators. Those who responded to a question, with insults, more than likely a truth was told and they couldn't handle it, so the only option is to start insulting or harass. Guilty conscious and all that.
