I'm selling some baby stuff on eBay at the moment. I've listed some of the stuff via the iPhone app, because it's nice and easy to upload the photos taken on my phone. The only downside is that it automatically capitalises every word in the title. I wouldn't normally write like that in an eBay listing but also couldn't be bothered to change it.
It got to the last day and most items had a bidder. All well and good. One in particular was going off as it was "brand new with tags" from a retailer that sells well on eBay. There were 14 watchers. All very exciting. little things that pass the day, you know Then, two hours before the end, the listing was pulled and I received a snotty and very legalistic email from eBay advising me that I had breached copyright and used a trademarked word in my listing and that it was misleading. I was provided with the email address of the company who had complained and it was suggested that I take a tutorial before selling again.
AIBU to be a bit irritated by all this? I've listed it again without the forbidden word. and they can go jump if they think I'm taking a tutorial But no watchers and no bidders yet.
FWIW the word was "onesie". I live in a country where that's quite common parlance to describe babygros.
