    I sold my used Birkenstocks on eBay last week with no problems at all.

    Do you have other 'branded' items for sale at all?

    You didn't use their logo on your listing or anything? Or copy text from their website?

    To get a better understanding of the VERO policy the fulld etails are here:

    http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/questions/listing-ended.html

    That gives you a link to a report tool where you can ask ebay which bit you fell foul of, the one thing that got you suspended was that you just relisted without finding out what was wrong.

    Interestingly Birkenstock are not registered as an automatic VERO removal:

    Don't expect your suspension to be automatically lifted in 7 days, you will need to apply for reinstatement and should start now, if you email them, expect to send 5-10 emails, you should eventually get an email asking you sign and return a statement promising never to sell counterfeit goods on ebay, after which you will be reinstated.

    the vero people have no real way of knowing what is real and what is genuine so they often just blanket ban all listings by reporting them as fake.

    I've sold several pairs of my old pre-loved Birkenstocks on eBay without a problem but I knew that they were 100% genuine having originally purchased them from legit retailers. There are lots of fakes around, India and Thailand are notorious for them and they often end up at car boot sales when people get back from their travels. Perhaps the ones you were listing were fakes.
