On August 1, 2001, eBay suspended three auctions by Tabberone.
We had never heard of the VeRO Program. Although eBay regularly
reminds users to read the User Agreement because it is constantly
changing, let's face it, few, if any, really do. It is long,
boring, and often difficult to understand, like tax forms.
Tabberone immediately emailed Warner Brothers and eBay demanding to know why the auctions were terminated. We sent the initital inquiry to the name provided by eBay, Eileen Goldstein. A couple days later, having received no response, we began an email campaign aimed at contacting everyone in the food chain if necessary. Warner Brothers finally responded to our inquiries. We were asked to call them at a telephone number provided and discuss the situation. After a few conversations they offered the lame excuse that the auctions were terminated because they thought we were using counterfeit fabric. They then agreed to leave us alone and said they would email eBay and reinstate the auctions and Tabberone. We requested they not have the auctions reinstated as we would prefer to relist them ourselves. Warner Brothers took the position that they could not stop people from making and selling fabric items unless what was being done was "inappropriate". That was a very reasonable approach on their part. Tabberone 1, Trademark/Copyright 0. |
