Ebay & Chanel vs Boam

Ebay and Chanel are getting right on my wick..Got a vintage Chanel scarf \ scarve this is 100% Genuine, i have put it on Ebay for sale and Ebay have removed it saying it breaks the T&C's believing it to be fake. I guess i cannot relist it but i am wondering on what grounds they see it as fake, will it take me to go to a chanel shop and get it proven to be genuine before they list it, i guess it is the same situation some people get selling othe gear....

    If they have removed it once you wont be able to relist. Are you sure its because it fake and not under VERO rules as chanel are hot on that also

    If it was because they thought it fake it means that someone reported you

    Do you have the original receipt to prove its authenticity?
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Just because you are offended, doesn't mean you are right

    Re-list it, but don't mention the name. Make sure to use a photo of the logo. Companies who use the Vero system tend to search for their products using the product name (and variants), chances are, your listing will get overlooked. I had to do this when selling a YSL coat.

    The problem is though that someone wanting a Chanel scarf isn't going to go through hundreds of scarves just to look for the label.

    Then some lucky buyer will get it for a really cheap price.
