Rights violation listing removed

[timfairless]

I have had a listing for a Louis Vuitton shawl removed because it wa said to violate "rights". I won the shawl. It is a genuine Louis Vuitton Monogram shawl still in the original packaging with the LV labels. The person who bought the shawl assures me that it is authentic.  She gave it as a prize in a golf competition. She is a wealthy woman and had no desire to buy counterfeit items.  eBay say that there is a concern about the shawl without giving any information other than to say that it is a violation of rights. I think my rights have been violated too, so where do I stand in this matter?

I am sure that it is a genuine Louis Vuitton shawl. I won it. I do not want it. I want to sell it.

Why is this prohibited?

What can be done to rectify this problem?

Thank you

You can't sell it on eBay.

Some brand owners protect their brand name and have listings removed.

There are 114 listings for Louis Vuitton shawls (mainly Monogram shawls = identical type to mine) on eBay UK currently. These are being sold by a mix of private and business sellers so it appears that you can sell them on eBay.

Vyolla, I just opened the packaging for the first time, and checked the sewn in label. It is identical to those shown in listings on eBay, and on the Louis Vuitton website.
Seems to me that eBay have removed the listing on the basis of no evidence. I suppose that eBay will remove all 114 listings in due course. I will watch to see whether or not they do that.
Thanks for your reply.

The other 114 haven't been Reported yours has. There is a 'Report Item' Link on every Listing Page if you want to Report the other ones.

Thanks ruby tuesday, I won't be reporting other listings as I have no basis to prove that they aren't genuine.
It would be helpful if eBay gave their "evidence" that my shawl is not a genuine Louis Vuitton, or had asked me to provide proof that it is genuine. They do not offer those options so it's summary sentencing based upon unverifiable supposition. Thank goodness that it's a trivial matter, and eBay don't have any say in our judicial system!
I'll not lose any sleep over it. I'll just sell it somewhere else.
Thanks for your comment.

It has nothing to do with it being genuine or not.

If LV do not want their items selling on ebay and are part of the Vero Programme and they or another member report to ebay then ebay remove the item.
The others may not have been spotted yet but will be removed if reported.

In fact you can not actually prove it is genuine anyway as you say you won it and the lady who dontaed was wealthy
That does not prove anything but it would make no difference if you had the receipt and could prove where it was bought.
