Success in Removing Unauthorized Reproductions From eBay
Posted in Patch Collecting by skyloo442 on August 26th, 2008 at 1:25 pm I recently had success in removing 2 Skyloo 442 fakes and 1 Wauna La-Mon’Tay 442 fake from Ebay. This is how I did it. First, I emailed the seller and let him know that as a representative from the lodges involved we find it highly repulsive that he is making and selling unauthorized reproductions of our patches without our permission and that we request him to stop or we will seek recourse from the proper authorities. Second, I sent in a request to eBay to have the items removed as unauthorized reproductions made without permission. By doing those two things the items were removed from eBay inside 24 hours.
This is the first time I have had this happen. I had reported fakes before without any action and I had requested the individual to do the same without success. What I think happened is that I did both within hours of the listing and I did them one after the other. Maybe eBay is starting to police itself somewhat — you would think so after losing that lawsuit.
Well, I wanted to report the success and tell everyone that your efforts are not always in vain. Just keep trying.
