I bought it from HSN and I never used it so I wanted to sell it on ebay. I listed it just as HSN had it listed.Someone send me an email threatning me that this was a violation of patent and trademark that they have on ebay. Can anyone help me with this? I used the name Debbie "n" dazzle because that the name that I bought the item from HSN. What if any error or indiscretion did I use. Is this a violation or IS THIS INTIMIDATION because I was selling the item cheaper than another seller? Of course the email came from a seller that had only 1 feedback-it was created especially for the purpose of threatining me. Is there such a thing on ebay "patent and trademark" I would really appreciate some help. I do not know what to do. Anna I was selling a Debbee “n” dazzle jewelry organizer.

How about eBay gunning for some honest Software Quality Assurance or Customer Service metrics awards, and I mean not a "worst of" recognition? Something they get from an organization they don't pay dues to first... It sure took a long time for eBay to get the award–the last true innovation here occurred well before Y2K.

The reason your items were taken away was for your feedback policy line in the listing. It is okay to state that you will give the feedback once the buyer has left it for you, but the wink with any questions, implies that the type of feedback left could be "bought". Feedback is central to the eBay experience. It's a record of a member's past behavior. Frequently, it's what members use to decide whether to trade with someone or not. Buying, selling, or trading Feedback weakens the eBay marketplace. Just as offline reputations must be earned, eBay members need to earn their Feedback Scores. It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for choosing eBay. Sincerely, Neci eBay Customer Support i dont know why ebay is so great they cancelled my listings of used clothes and suspended my account because I DARED TO USE A WINKY SIGN IN MY LISTINGS!
i know its not listed in any policy statements by ebay but listers BEWARE winky signs are FORBIDDEN!

Thank you for writing eBay in regards your recently removed items.

The reason your items were taken away was for your feedback policy line
in the listing. It is okay to state that you will give the feedback

once the buyer has left it for you, but the wink with any questions,
implies that the type of feedback left could be “bought”. Feedback is
central to the eBay experience. It’s a record of a member’s past
behavior. Frequently, it’s what members use to decide whether to trade
with someone or not.

Buying, selling, or trading Feedback weakens the eBay marketplace. Just
as offline reputations must be earned, eBay members need to earn their
Feedback Scores.

It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for choosing eBay.

Sincerely,
Neci

Lets see Skunk Works part of Lockheed Martin defense department heavy duty contractor and eBay former head Meg Whitman riding shotgun for John McCain. No nothing there except innovation....
