The quotes in italics are taken directly from the referenced eBay AboutMe page. Most are the full statement. Some have had portions removed because
of relevance or redundancy but the context remains and the cuts are notes by ellipses ( ... ). Remember, these are their pages, written by them. A few of the
pages do not exist but are still listed. A number of pages do not belong in this category. Almost every one of these cosmetic companies are over-reaching
and fascist minded in their approach. To our surprise, Mary Kay Cosmetics was one of the few to be very low key. We have gotten jaded in our
expectations and would have expected otherwise so our hats are off to Mary Kay Cosmetics for their reasonable AboutMe page.
The cut and paste link for each eBay AboutMe page is given in case you want to verify. We rarely live link to actual web pages because they tend to disappear or get moved so we cannot guarantee the pages will be there when you look. Web Site Garbage contains our observations about their web site information. AboutMe Page Garbage contains our observations about their AboutMe page information. Many of their claims are similar or exact copies as are our answers. Some companies may complain that we are not stating their intentions or beliefs correctly. We are following their wording as they placed it on their AboutMe pages. If we misstate it is because they were not absolutely clear as to their policies. Ambiguous and spacous policy statements are open to interpretation. |

Web Site Garbage : 4Life Transferceutical™ Products are unique, patented and cutting-edge-improve immune system function by up to 437%. We call it garbage because they appear to be another Amway where you actually make money be sponsoring others to sell the product. Their web site appears to be somewhat obscure about their actual products. |
AboutMe Page -- 4Life Research USA, LLC (4Life) www.4Life.com |
4Life will not allow use of its trade name (company name), trademarks (brand names), designs or symbols by any person, including 4Life’s independent distributors. The use of the 4Life name (in any fashion) in reference to any item that may or may not be a 4Life product is misleading and an infringement of 4Life’s property rights described above. |
All items purchased on eBay are done so as transactions between the seller and buyer only and are not backed by 4Life. |
Why not? If it is a genuine product then it should be covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. After all, the manufacturer has received full payment for the item as though it were sold through an over-priced authorized distributor. This is a scare tactic much like diversion. Warranties are covered by state and federal laws not the whim of the manufacturer. |
4Life endeavors to ensure that any unauthorized use of 4Life’s intellectual property is removed quickly. |
There's that word again, "unauthorized". "Unauthorized use" infers they will take actions against anyone they want to remove from the secondary market because they have not granted permission. |
Through the auction of counterfeit/infringing merchandise, people attempt to trade off of 4Life’s well-earned reputation. |
Alleging counterfeits is an excellent way to deceive their real purposes. This allows them to cloak themselves in respectability while not even taking the simplest of steps to really ascertain if the product is counterfeit. They don't want their product sold on the internet, pure and simple. Rarely will a seller take them to court on this issue. So they win by monetary default. |

This one is a real beaut and a complete lie. There is no federal or state law that allows them to "dictate" restrictions of this type. Lawfully acquired product may be sold on any venue you desire and they have no legal right to stop you. That doesn't mean they won't try, illegally, to stop you, and they might, mainly because they know virtually no one will fight back. This statement is a lie. |

In general, items made of materials which are not up to the preciousness of our original creations, or for sale at prices considerably lower than our official retail price, must be considered highly suspicious. |
Pure garbage. What they are doing is pre-justifying their illegal intervention by saying the beginning offering price is too low so it must be counterfeit. Some one who doesn't want their over-price schlock is trying to get whatever they can for it. That does not justify interfering with the sale. |

What they omit is that their "agreements" are ONLY binding upon themselves and the distributors who signed it.

Such pure, unmitigated garbage. If they can determine from the listing that it is infringing, they can take the few minutes to contact the seller and tell them why. It explanation means they are too lazy to take the time or that they really do not want to get into a dialogue with you because they are only attempting to keep their products off of the internet. A really concerned manufacturer would contact an infringing seller to find out the source of the product. If they don't contact you, what does that tell you? |

Bee-Alive has a genuine concern for its customers. Auction sales of product may not be genuine product of this company, may be outdated, or may have been tampered with in some way and therefore purity, quality and safety are at issue. |
This is their set-up statement letting you know they are going to find an excuse, any excuse, to stop the internet sales of their products.Notice all of the "mays": may not be genuine, may be outdated and may have been tampered with. When you see wording like this, duck! |
Why does Bee-Alive care if I sell a single piece of unauthorized merchandise on eBay? |
There's that word again, "unauthorized". "Unauthorized" infers they will take actions against anyone they want to remove from the secondary market because they have not granted permission. |
Bee-Alive offers its products directly to the consumer and does not permit distributorships or resale. |

Crescent House Publishing ("CHP") strictly enforces our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks and copyrighted works |
This is their "warning" that they will do whatever they want and your rights be damned. |
CHP does not allow or authorize the use, distribution, or sale of its intellectual property on eBay. Unauthorized use of CHP fragrance descriptions, content, or trademarks will result in notifying eBay to end auctions and listings. |
There's that word again, "unauthorized". "Unauthorized use" infers they will take actions
against anyone they want to remove from the secondary market because they have not granted permission.
Their name, trademarked names, description of their product, technical specifications and pictures taken by you are "fair use" under those same laws they cite. We disagree about stock photographs being protected as they routinely display no creativity but we recommend you take your own pictures. |
When CHP reports an item to eBay, it is most likely a copyrighted text violation. |
What copyrighted text specifically? Product labels cannot be copyrighted neither can text on packaging. While images and art on labels and products may qualify for copyright registration, descriptive text and specifications are not. And, in order to enforce any such claims, the material actually has to be registered before any federal court actions can be commenced. few companies even try to register copyrights on their product label, text and advertising. |
Copying, altering, modifying, displaying, and circulation of material owned by CHP, including fragrance descriptions, is subject to copyright infringement prosecution. |
This one is a real cutie. Using the CHP "fragrance descriptions" to describe the reselling of the actual product is fair use and not infringing. The rest is a smoke screen to make the sentence appear to be more threatening than it really is. |

However, if the Mumbow™ and/or Mumbows™ name is used to describe goods which are not made by Tomcats/TCI or by an authorized partner, and/or if the Mumbow™ and/or Mumbows™ name is used without permission, the auction will be cancelled as this is an unlawful use of our legal trademarks. |
Similarly, auctions for hair bows that infringe on the unique design of Mumbow™ hair bows will be cancelled for unlawful use of our legally trademarked design. |

AboutMe Page -- Urban Decay Cosmetics LLC & Hard Candy LLC urbandecay.com |
Like most major companies, Urban Decay and Hard Candy Cosmetics controls product quality and safety by only permitting re-sales by authorized distributors and resellers... |
Urban Decay and Hard Candy Cosmetics product warranties only apply when the purchaser has purchased Urban Decay or Hard Candy products from an authorized seller. |
Because of the negative repercussions that unauthorized re-sales can have, Urban Decay and Hard Candy Cosmetics has decided to intervene where appropriate. We regret the inconvenience to legitimate sellers and buyers of our cosmetics. Urban Decay and Hard Candy Cosmetics regularly contacts those who are engaging in unauthorized sales of its products and for those that do not respond, further action is and will continue to be taken, such as submitting complaints to e-bay or even legal action against the unauthorized sellers. We hope you will understand and apologize for any inconvenience. |
Can’t I re-sell an item I bought? You cannot re-sell Urban Decay or Hard Candy products bought by you because they were not sold to you for resale. They were sold to you as an end user customer. Our products can only be sold by authorized sellers, such as our distributors and retail store customers, who enter into agreements with us regarding quality control, use of our trademarks and various other concerns. Unauthorized sales infringe upon our trademarks and trade dress. |
I purchased the item legitimately, why can’t I re-sell it? As mentioned above, adulterated, unsafe, infringing products may at times be offered for sale by unauthorized sellers. |

AboutMe Page -- US Advanced Medical Research, Inc. http://www.usamr.com |
EBay Notice: It has recently been brought to our attention that a few Hylunia/Hymed clients are selling products on the EBay. It is our firm belief that Hylunia/Hymed customers must consult with a skincare professional, who can analyze their skin, consider their history and recommend the proper personal skincare regime needed before using Hylunia/Hymed products. Accordingly, skincare professionals and establishments have sold Hylunia and Hymed products exclusively for almost two decades. |
Rather than collect the potential profit, we choose to uphold our core principles and sell our products only through licensed professionals. As a result we do not allow the sale of our products through EBay. |
We request that any client who has prices listed or is selling our product in any of the fore mentioned venues, please stop. We have automated tools that monitor EBay daily and will terminate the wholesale of our products to any client who does not comply with this request. This policy was created to protect you, the professional, as well as the high standards of Hylunia and Hymed, and the consumer. |

For your protection, Virgin Cosmetics recommends that you purchase only from a Virgin Cosmetics Company retail store or from an authorised Consultant. |
Virgin Cosmetics is a member of the VeRO Plus Program and regularly reviews items on eBay. Those who illegally use the Virgin Cosmetics, Virgin Vie or Virgin Jewellery brand name, will be punished. |
Q. Why was my auction terminated? A. Virgin Cosmetics has a good faith belief that your auction infringes either the terms of a Consultancy Agreement that you have entered into with The Virgin Cosmetics Company Limited or its intellectual property rights. Most likely, your auction was removed from the eBay website because it either breaches your rights as a Consultant or an ex-Consultant to sell the products on the website and/or it used the Virgin Cosmetics, Virgin Vie or Virgin Jewellery trademark or logo without permission, used images copied from Virgin Cosmetics website, or because it offered products featuring one of the Virgin Cosmetics trademarks which you were unauthorised to do. All of these acts are a breach of UK law. |
Q: Who can use the Virgin Cosmetics, Virgin Vie or Virgin Jewellery trademark and logo? A: Only Virgin Cosmetics and its authorised licensees can legally use Virgin Cosmetics, Virgin Vie or Virgin Jewellery trademarks and logo to sell products. |
