As someone who frequently works with TS on counterfeit queries, I can say that this information is incorrect. TS may still decide to contact the seller of the item to find out the origin of the item. This does not happen often, but it may.

its not realy incorrect because what i meant by 'interested' is interested in pursuing any form of action. if he has only sold one item then he has not comitted a crime anyway.

asking the seller where he got the item from is no big deal and i doubt the OP would be bothered. i think what he is bothered about is having enforcement action taken against him.

Not True, the OP purchased conterfeit goods and then resold conterfeit goods

1 or 1000 it is still a counterfeit item and the OP can be charged

i suggest you read up on trade marks legislation and related case law. for an offence to be commited the action has to occur in the course of a business so you would have to show soem form of regularity or intenion to sell in the course of a business.

give what the OP has described there is no way you would even consider him to be a business unless he has indicated in his auction that he has loads more gear.
