Brand Name products banned from sellers on Ebay?

Has anyone been contacted via email or phone about not being able to sell brand name products on Ebay? for eg. JVC,Estee Lauder,Panasonic,Sharp,etc.

 Maybe that is why I am selling more on Amazon than here on Ebay? mmm

 When is Ebay going to wake up and stop harrassing sellers here.

 I just got off my 3 month hiatus of "poor" policy compliance because of a JVC VCR that I was selling here on Ebay. They would not give me a reason as to why I couldn't sell that product..just "because"..I asked for a list of products that I was not allowed to sell and Ebay would not give me a list .

 They just said.."We'll let you know" ..ha !

 Why is Ebay driving away business from their own site? Are they going to try and short sell themselves on the market and make a few million and close up shop?

 Makes me wonder.

it is different just put it that way..I have a pro merchant account over there where I can sell anything and everything except movies,books,and cd's..
I guess you have to have a different account to sell those items.

39.99 unlimited listings..no listing fees...just a monthly fee plus commissions..which are higher than over here on Ebay if you can believe that..but it makes up for the listing fees I guess

Is that about the suit? I know there was a part of the suit that was about um, I forget what they called it, something along the lines of interfering with the authorized distribution network, etc. etc - maybe their policing brands effected?

Back in early April..Pvo Fvo or something like that..I dont' know..copyright nonsense,which I didn't violate any pictures..I used my own photo....,Ebay could not even tell me what exactly was the problem with the listing..There is an outside agency that scours the listings for manufacturers and reports them to companies..for copyrighted violations...They are afraid that you will be selling their goods for less than what they market and price their goods for ..thereby devaluing "their" product..
After talking to someone on the phone,(they called)..my listing violation was removed ..in the dashboard..you will see a policy compliance rating..they use that rating to rank your items on ebay for listings.

in case you or others haven't seen it, this is the VERO page listing all those VERO members with about me pages.

When that listing was removed I was really surprised because previous to that I was selling quite a few VCR's from Panasonic,and JVC..with pretty good success.
I am guessing that maybe a competitor might have blown me in ..for selling items lower than they were used to selling them..thereby decreasing their profit margin.

I think you must mean VERO.

The info on that program is here.

Good stuff to know for ANYONE selling on eBay.

I am sure it had to do with the fact that I was selling them lower than what a "dealer" was pricing them for..probably peeved him off.

If it was VERO, it was the company itself that would have had the item taken down. eBay simply acts as the conduit for those companies that are members of VERO and report invalid listings.
Once a listing is ended for VERO, your first step is to contact the company itself, not eBay.
The removal message would have contained the companies information.

rofl, its not VERO. You're probably right, Dfirefox - the jobbers and such here are always blacking out the brand names and saying things like "a famous brand" that we can't mention on the radio because of that..

I did...I received a gobbly gook message from some geek over at the company that was just a generic mishmosh of hogwash.

Maybe some companies are "insulted" that their products are sold on Ebay..ha ha I guess that does not say much for Ebay..but then yesterday I read where some woman was selling her "soul" on Ebay for $1000.00..(she was sending an 8 ball with it) ha ha ..so I guess it is OK to sell something ridiculous like that .

"a generic mishmosh of hogwash"?
I'm sure that message actually included the important info that you needed, if you'd chosen to read and/or understand it.

Hiya firefox...your going to see alot more of the vero items coming down, because of the recent lawsuit brought by louis vitton and there is another by tiffany in the works, basically you cannot use trademarked names or material to sell your items, at least you can use them in the searchable item titles, content in the listing is a different matter altogether, i had a pair of Bape tennis shoes (retail for around 300.00 listed) they got pulled and the vero member sent me a letter demanding the return of the merchandise to them, i sent them a letter from my lawyer demanding 300.00 plus listing fees, along with a reciept from the store that they were purchases from, that is the last i ever heard from them, i then relisted the shoes with the name ape taking a bath in the river shoes, and sold them for 225.00 ..LOL>>>
i was wondering how they are going to handle this situation with people that are drop shipping name brand products..
