My cabinet is quite nice and I used MAME as a search.  Since all the vendors did it, it was convinent.  They could change to EMU now or one of the other suggestions.  Once it catches on it won't be a big deal.

Even better is when it goes up as an "Atari Yolk".

Well, for those defending what the mamedev team is doing...I didn't even want to mess around with their rediculous demands...they obviously didn't have their legal team write that stuff...

So I removed every instance of "mame" or "m.a.m.e." from my auctions.  It was there in the context of...supports xbox, mame, playstation, etc...keep in mind that I sell "empty" game cabinet kits.

Anyways, removed all instances of "mame" and replaced it with PC Emulators, and relisted my items.  Those where just pulled and my ebay account suspended.

I have sent an email to the address listed on the ebay vero form without a response.

Considering that "MAME" was not used anywhere in my items and there were still pulled...considering they were relisted after this thread was started...is it really a hick-up or did they just get caught going to far?  A hick-up would mean that there is a problem and it should have been corrected by now...since I have not received a response, I'm assuming that they know what they are doing.

So for anyone to say this is "just" or "fair"...open your eyes!

Technically you might have a better claim to the Mame trademark than they do. After all you (via the Mameroom name) have actually been using it in commerce.  ;D

Also apparently xgaming.com's ebay auctions are immune to the rules, because apparently they can still spam "Mame" all over their titles.
