Hello,
Thank you for your report.

The form from which your report was received indicates that you are
reporting a potentially infringing listing or restricted item. If your
email was not to report a questionable listing please go back and select
a subject that is more appropriate to your concern.

We will thoroughly investigate the item number(s) you have reported.
Please keep in mind that the actions taken on a specific listing are
confidential and between eBay and the seller. We will not be able to
keep you abreast of any developments for privacy reasons, but we assure
you that we will thoroughly examine this information.

If you believe an item to be potentially infringing, and it was not
removed by eBay, we encourage you to contact the rights owner and inform
them of the alleged infringement. Rights owners may request the removal
of listings they feel infringe upon their rights through eBay's Verified
Rights Owner (VeRO) Program.

If you would like to see information provided by the rights owners about
items that may infringe their rights and how to contact them, please
visit our list of VeRO Program participant About Me pages.

VeRO Program, please visit:

We appreciate your concerns and we thank you for helping to keep eBay a
safe and reputable forum in which to conduct business.
