Hello Travis,

Your listing was removed because Von Dutch Originals, Inc., a participant of eBay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program, notified us under penalty of perjury that your listing offered a counterfeit item that violated their trademark.

As you know, eBay does not actually handle the merchandise offered for sale on eBay. As such, we are unable to make judgements regarding the copyrights and trademarks involved in the various items offered for sale on eBay. However, we are committed to removing listings that infringe on the rights of an individual or company once they properly notify us of the infringement. We have developed our Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program to help Intellectual Property owners remove listings that infringe on their rights.

When a VeRO member contacts us to remove listings, they are required to sign a legal document stating under penalty of perjury that they own the rights to the copyright or trademark used in the listing, and that the items listed are infringing upon their rights. Once we receive the document with the alleged infringing items listed, we are required by federal law to end the listings reported.

Please note, we credited any associated fees to your account. We have also notified the bidders that the listing was removed, and that they are not obligated to complete the transaction. If you believe your listing was ended in error, or have questions regarding the removal of this listing, please contact the VeRO Program participant directly at:

Von Dutch Originals, Inc.
fraud@vondutch.com

For us to consider your eBay registration for reinstatement, you will need to follow our reinstatement procedures located at:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/reinstfaq.html

Please keep in mind that submitting the requested information does not guarantee the reinstatement of your account.

While your account is suspended you are prohibited from registering a new account or using eBay in any way. Any attempt to reregister or use other active accounts will result in the permanent suspension of your account with no possibility of reinstatement. eBay reserves the right to suspend accounts opened by anyone in the same household of a suspended member, or by any other associates of a suspended member.

Please note that you are still obligated to pay any fees that you may owe to eBay. You can make a one time payment by following the steps below:

1. Click the "My eBay" link at the top of any eBay page. You may be asked to log in.

2. From your "My eBay" page, click the "My Account" link on the left side of the page.

3. Under the heading "Pay Your eBay Seller Fees," you will see options for paying your account by credit card, checking account, PayPal or by mail.

We do understand that you may disagree with our decision to suspend your account. You may also have additional questions that were not addressed in this email. I encourage you to visit our Suspension FAQ page below for a detailed description of our reinstatement process as well as answers to many frequently asked questions before emailing us:
