MAMEDev's pull auctions without MAME
DreamArcades:
I just got an e-mail from Aaron. He say's there was a hick-up in the system last night and a bunch of auctions were pulled today, from yesterday. So, even though I had updated them they were still pulled.
He's contacted eBay and Say's he'll let me know how they are going to fix this.
;D
If anyone else had this happen to them send an e-mail to the contact address lsited in your e-mai lfrom eBay.

I must say you're taking this a lot better than I would be. Adversely effecting a reputable businessman's livelihood and reputation, without any grounds to do so, no matter how unintentionally, is not a "hiccup" it's an abuse of ebay policy and an abuse of the rights (if any) granted to them by the trademark application.

No, it's a hiccup :)
At the time the auctions were put on the queue they were abusing the mame trademark as layouted. But then DA changed them before those auctions went through the queue. They got deleted. DA complained, he is doing it the right way too by contacting the appropiate people. It was realized as a mistake and looks like it is going to try and be resolved.
Ebay gets tons of this stuff, you don;t think they are going to put something int he wqueue to be deleted then have a real live person double check the auction just before it gets deleted? That would cost way too much.
Timing of stuff can produce problems. At least it is being handled.
Dire Radiant:
Ah ok. It wasn't clear to me from the original post that these auctions had originally been posted containing MAME references. My apologies.
DreamArcades:
I just want to make it clear we were not abusing the MAME trademark we had sent several e-mail asking how to property use it. Unfortunately we didn't get a reply for several weeks (just after a bunch of auctions were pulled).
As soon as the new rules were announced we changed our auctions within the hour.
