I'm in the UK. Got notified about this by Florida case by Sriplaw Attorney Joel B. Rothman last week. I'm a private seller, had a single nato strap listing removed by ebay under VeRO rules two weeks ago. Sounds like they are accusing me of counterfeiting, copyright theft etc. Am reading up on these SAD cases now. Posting to try and connect with others perhaps in the same or similar situation.

Hi,
Many thanks for your reply, I've been a little worried about this. I've tried to attach the screenshot here, hopefully it's worked OK.
I look forward to hearing from you.

That's excellent, but is the "attached complaint" (to which you are expected to reply) also available?
And did they - as they often do - furnish you with a Screensave of what is supposed to have offended them?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. There are several pdf attachments, some several pages long, I wouldn't know which one to post here.
Should I be concerned at all? Thanjs again.

Hi,
Thanks for the above. Did you receive the email which I did beforehand? Mamy thanks in advance.

Have they produced any evidence of what you were selling? If so, first respond by asking them for proof of the listing, without which they will be unable to meet the evidential bar. They are seeking to extort $ from yours a a license fee for using (or for having used) what are actually historic, generic watch industry terms. Are you able to drop your email here, for private contact?

Yes have had several e mails
i replied to a few but now i ignore them
They sent me court documents listing my eBay site basically a screen shot
I somehow doubt they will engage a firm of UK lawyers as they won’t spend the money

Thank you Mike, can mdow4909 also send an email, and I'll send recommended response.

You really shouldn't post your email on here.

Thanks for your reply. I'm reluctant to even acknowledge their email, as I previously mentioned, it could easily have gone to my spam and I'd never have seen it.
I'm hoping that they'll just go away, it sounds like scare tactics to try to extract money from ordinary people to me.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I'm not really comfortable putting my email up here - all this business we're talking about here has made me worry about anything online! Can you not post your advice on here? Thanks

Thanks Mike. So, would you say I can just ignore the threatening lawsuit email, and hope they go away? Thanks in advance.
