I specialize in Diecast vehicles and deal with most of the top brands. I just had one of the listings taken down and was sent a message from ebay that I cannot misuse brand names in the title. The listing was for a Vanguards car, and that series is manufactured by Corgi, so in the listing title I put Vanguards (Corgi). I was told by an ebay rep over the phone that I had to remove the name of Corgi. I told him it was made by Corgi under the name of Vanguards. He told me I could only use the name Corgi in the listing description and not the title. I asked if someone was searching for Corgi vehicles, how would they search for them. (No answer). He then went on to tell me I needed to remove the name Corgi from the title listing on all my items for it not to be flagged.
When I asked him again how I would search for Corgi Diecast cars, he told me he needed to research it more and that he would call me back in 24 to 48 hours. Before I hung up the phone, I asked him to do a search on ebay for Corgi diecast cars, he would see hundreds of items listed with the name of Corgi in the listing title. He stated if that was the case, it means that they just need time to review them all. I got the feeling he was trying to tell me we cannot use brand names in the titles anymore.
Does not make any sense to me at all.
