Ebay being idiots yet again

They suspended me on tuesday morning for 'trade mark mis-use' not sure how that can happen all items 100% authentic, i took the pictures myself, i have the items at my house, and i wrote all the describition i dont know where they get their ideas from. Its so annoying as i had spend few hours listing 105 items as it was cheap listing. And now i will probably have to spend weeks getting hold of them for an answer. Why do they do this :mad:

    Lacoste probably have an agreement that their goods are only to be sold by authorised outlets. To protect their brand and prices they will stop any other traders trying to jump on their private little bandwagon.
    Unfortunately it looks like you've been caught here. Any chance your supplier will take them back - they'll be hard to eBay?
    Can I help?

    There are people selling items now that are prohibited, doesn't mean they can be sold, it just means they haven't been pulled yet.

    As for the poll, no ebay aren't stupid, they can just be a bit opaque at times.

    Soo

    With apologies I have removed a post and would remind users of the following rule:

    As stated in the thread,it will be Brand Protection,lots of the big companies are now realising that there products are being mass produced at a fraction of the cost,all being at a fraction of the quality and dont want the price driven down by auction sites.
    Have no doubts your products are authentic,i work in the sportswear field and know of many wholesalers who get container loads of stocks for peanuts,the brands want to clear stock,but now want to dictate where it is sold.
    Win..Win..springs to mind.
