Abuse from intellectual rights owner

[alf2211]

I have been persecuted on a number of occasions by so called intellectual rights owners with very iffy said rights . My complaint though lies with Ebay who remove listings without supporting information EG the rights refferences that are needed to challange the validation of said rights.

How do we get this info so as to allow me to bring legal challanges.

No help what so ever,Please read what I requested. Also bare in mind I can also sue. Under UK law a company is duty bound to act in a fair and reasonable manner.

How rude when someone tries to help and spend their own time in doing so.
At least you got a reply
I read the request and the answer is the same.
It is their site and up to them which items are removed if they think fit
Ebay will not get involved with the matter
If an item is removed then it has been reported by either another member or the brand owner.

If you want to sue then you have every right to do so but ebay will not help you get any information.
Would you like it if they gave your information to just anyone who requested it?
You will have to do it privately for yourself.
Are you the brand owner or do you have the brand owners consent?.

I think you have missed the point here, We have the rights and others have had our listing removed removed. Tried to register with VERO and sent requested inffo forms and dozens of messages . One year on no progress. As for giving out information as to the supposed rights owners actions is infact a legal obligation and rightly so. You cant just strip somebodies listing fairly without both clarity of the issue and supporting rights.

I don't think we missed the point at all
You are saying you have the rights to the items you are selling

If your items are being reported then ebay can not take any risks of being prosecuted and will remove items

Ebay can remove anything they think fit as it is there site

Your question was " How do we get this info so as to allow me to bring legal challanges.

Ebay would not be able to give out that information under the Data Protection Act
Things were tightened up recenty and rightly so.
If I had someones information I would not be able to give it to anyone else without permission.
I am sure as a business you will know all about GDPR
If you don't then you should and can find all the information on the Gov.uk site
