Listings being removed as brands claim its counterfeit

[sol192]

Has anyone else had this issue before? I have had a few of my listings removed by eBay after the brand complained that its counterfeit. Maybe its just me but I feel like the big brands don't want anyone else selling there items at a cheaper price and they just complain to ebay saying that the item is counterfeit. With being warned before on ebay now I am scared to list anymore items on ebay. Also is there anyway of proving to ebay that my items are genuine?

The only thing unfair is the way that message is written.  The claim the item is 'not authentic'  is not explaining the true issue here.

High brand items are protected by Vero Regulations and policies.  It was the brand owner, not eBay who asked for the removal of your item. 

There are so many fakes of high brand items and impossible to check authenticity for online items,  even receipts can be faked, I know, my work took me to the Far East for decades , and fake receipts  made there, are impossible to tell from the real deal.

You may well see identical items listed,  the site is massive over 7 billion + listings on at any one time, so not possible to check every listing, and some slip the net and become listed.

Your item has been reported do not relist it,  you would face serious selling restrictions.
