Business/income impact due to "Foley, David R."?
Crazy Cooter:
I'm hoping this gets posted (for awhile).
If you have had an auction pulled or letter sent or anything else that has affected your income, post here so you can get in touch with others in the same boat.

Just an FYI... Responding to any VeRO takedown directly to eBay will do ABSOUTELY NOTHING.
eBay WILL not listen, regardless of your facts and proof.
Namco removed 2 of my pac-man arcade board auctions because I used the words "replaced bad ram chips" (and they felt I had modified eprom game code.) eBay would NOT reinstate my auctions or respond with anything more than "contact xxxx@namco.com" for more information. Similar stories are EVERYWHERE on the net about eBay and VeRO.

Wonder what the law is for auctions. Kind of sounds like guilty until proven innoscent.
DarkKobold:
Ebay policy enforcement is not governed by law, although, many policies are a result of laws. It is their site, and therefore, their rules. If ebay wants to pull your auction because you looked at them funny, they can.
You, as the consumer, can not use ebay, but these days, the uniformed masses will continue to use what they know while be pounded from the back side. Therefore, a strike against ebay will be taking pebbles to attack a castle.

Eh, I don't blame eBay for being paranoid. They've got to cover their asses, too. Look what happened in India over that porn video that was being auctioned. The CEO of the auction site (owned by eBay no less) got arrested!
Obviously not quite the same thing would happen over here, but there's still the chance of expensive legal action.
