In my opinion: Any company that insists that you cannot resell any of their branded items (because they're not making profit from it or course), should be forced to offer to buy it back.

I once had an item taken down on eBay with a VeRo strike... it was a butter bell. I porcelain butter bell. Apparently, someone trademarked the term "butter bell" and you're not allowed to call a butter bell and "butter bell" on eBay. I received an cease and desist from an attorney representing the owner of the trademark. I called the number listed on the letter. She answered. I lambastered her, called her out, called her a POS shyster who obviously graduated at the bottom of her class and probably did better drinking at bars than passing the bar. I believe now you can list a butter bell on eBay and call it a "butter bell". You're welcome. LOL

As an Amazon seller, we get several cease and desist letters or messages a month from different brands. I tell each of them about First Sale Doctrine and ask them to fix the source (Amazon in this case) as they are ungating us and allowing us to sell the brand. If they are willing to pay me back for my sourcing, etc I will remove the item as requested.

Unless, the item can be proven counterfeit and in violation of Trademark and/or Copyright laws; then, no one can prevent you from reselling your items, assuming that it was legally obtained. Anyone sending an unlawful order for one to seize and desist, is in violation of the law, if the item/s are not counterfeit and have been legally obtained. However, using the words "Listed AS-IS" releases legal scrutiny from a manufacturer who believes they have the right to seize and desist, unless the item/s have been proven to be counterfeit. Taking further action by a manufacturer and/or legal owner of a Trademark or Copyright, after the item/s have been proven to NOT be counterfeit, is 'Harassment' at the very least, if not also 'Annoying', both legal terms for a defense and a law-suit. However, you may want to return a letter written from an Attorney of your own demanding full price for the item that is under scrutiny, as a recall purchase price, for the full brand new retail price! If the payment is not provided after acknowledging the 'Seize & Desist' order and after returning the item to the Trademark and/or Copyright owner; then, you can sue for the illegal repossession and make a nice profit, either way!

He’s a fighter for what’s right. It hasn’t happened to me, but it could. I completely agree with your point of ownership rights. We need resellers rights. If it’s fake, absolutely take it down. We need some form of protection. These threats of lawsuits are expensive & has the appearance of extortion. Of course these items will eventually get resold. Should it be thrown in the garbage? Ugh…

If these 'brands' are attempting to enforce copyright infringement law on selling "used" items with their brand name in the title, then that means we [sellers] can't sell [anything] with a brand name associated with it. No Play Station games, no Sony headsets, no Ford car parts, no Upper Deck baseball cards, no Disney plush dolls, no Marvel comic books, no Tupperware bowls, etc. etc. etc. Totally ludicrous!!!!!

I absolutely agree with you. You can't sell a vehicle without stating its make and model. If you look at other things like contact paper, you see many people selling unbranded adhesive vinyl sheet rolls. And once you have purchased something, it is yours to dispose of as you wish. If not, thrift stores and flea markets would have to either remove all tags and labels or not sell anything that has a brand name. And Amazon does have a lot of counterfeit items. I know because I have complained to them about many items.

@jillusher5835 16 күн бұрын

If it’s not the responsibility of the company that created an item, whose responsibility is it to identify whether something is fake or not? Common sense! And you are absolutely right that if we own something we should have the right to sell it. And we shouldn’t have to desist until the company that created the item proves, in writing, that it is indeed a fake and how we can identify this type of fake in the future.

I found that I couldn't use the word "onesie" unless I was specifically using Gerber onesies. They own the word... I used mainly Carters but then listing online I used the word bodysuit because of that. Stupid. Onesie is a common word that people use (and search for) for a one piece baby outfit or children's pajamas for that matter.

It's purely and simply all about protecting a company's primary market sales. Intimidating small business and private sellers is easy pickings. I often wonder why they don't go after Goodwill and other thrift stores for reselling these exact same items, and often times, counterfeits as well. And don't expect any changes from Washington under a current administration that is clearly hostile to small business and private property owners.

I read up on Trademark and Copyright laws and here is your defense for reselling property that you legally own and believe it is NOT counterfeit because of logos and trademarks being present on the item: If the name/s that you are using are located on a brand label and/written on the item to be sold by it's owner; then, you the seller are listing the item/s "AS IS" according to the rights protected under Trademark and Copyright laws. List this information in the following fashion: This _____(item name/brand) is listed "AS IS" according to the Trademark and Copyright laws of the name/s and/or brand/s of the item/s listed, which have been legally displayed on the item/s itself and/or branded with the Trademark logos. This type of wording prevents any legal discretion because the manufacturer/s Trademark and/or Copyright is branded and/or listed on the item/s under scrutiny for legal possession. And, yes, you are right that all of your possessions are yours to re-sell as you see fit, if and only if the item is not banded by the U.S. Government which you could call the Federal Bureau of Investigations to have checked out, assuming that your possessions are under your knowledge to have been obtained and possessed legally by yourself. If there is Trademark, logo, or Copyright tag on an item that depicts that item as authentic; then, most pawn shops could verify if it is authentic and not counterfeit. If it is not counterfeit; then, you can re-sell the item/s if they belong to you because the only legal right an authenticated Trademark by a logo, or a Copyright from a listing has on your physical possessions are that if the item can be proven counterfeit, then the item is illegal and you may file a case with the FBI against the person/s that sold you the merchandise as an authentic item protected under Trademark and/or Copyright laws.

I can understand a company protecting itself from others marketing lousy quality (counterfeit) merchandise. This is solely what I believe these self-protectionism actions are based upon. Who wants to buy crappy quality items that are made from inferior base materials - fabrics, linings, buttons, zippers, snaps, etc., and have to wonder if what they are getting is the real deal, then after purchasing it -- only to have it fall apart, or get faded after several uses (uv light, washing the item under normal use conditions, etc.,) and then they are stuck with a product they regret having bought thinking it was an endorsed, licensed item. Ok - so in purchasing an item from a manufacturer -- an original buyer should have the right to do with what he (or she) desires, afterwards -- as long as they themselves are NOT in the manufacturing aspect of making OR copying similar OR presumed to be legitimately "identical" items to sell! He, the gentleman re-seller in the video is doing nothing of the sort, as to any manufacturing, or copying. He is merely selling items legitimately purchased for his own use. And if he decided to not gift to someone freely, then why not sell for a mild profit. The manufacturer already got their first profit at the original sale / purchase by this person choosing to resell. He should have NEVER gotten "the cease and desist letter", they are overstepping their bounds here!

Point of fact numbers cannot be copyrighted (IE.5950). This was most famously litigated by Intel. Their computer processors used to be numbered (8086,8088,186,286,386,486). They wanted to copyright their next processor as the 586 so AMD and others could not use the same designation for their processors. They got sued and the court ended up ruling that numbers could not be copyrighted. Hence intel's next processor became the Pentium(TM) instead of the 586. AMD and Cyrix would use the 586 and 686 due to their recognition in the market but would drop the number system for names after that.

I hope LOGIC prevails and what we own is ours to sell 💯💯

When I get these on Ebay I always contact the rights holder and make them be specific. 99% of the time they respond with an answer that says basically I am NOT violating their rights but they just didn't like the title! :P

Did Bonanza provide a copy of the notice, demand, or cease and desist? Just wondering if they took issue with Bonanza due to other listings and they went full tilt to cover their own rear

It is a good point, they are not stating they are fake. So... You will own nothing and be happy? Screw New Era.

Many of the rich car companies such as Ferrari and many others are demanding many people that change or restore some of their older cars to cease and desist and turn the cars into a dealer. many others are refusing to sell parts and or items to restore certain cars.

It’s ridiculous they are trying to get rid of resellers because they don’t get any money when we sell but they got their money when the 1st person bought it. They can’t get paid twice because the 1st person got rid of it.

I have a huge problem with companies that copy right common words like " shabby chic" ... taht should definetly not be allowed or let them use the words but not stop other people from using words that hjad beena round eons longer then teh company ... Perhaps we should all copyright common words like Love and then we get sue anyone taht uses that word that is not aprt of our item we attache dthe name to ... crazy world we live in

I have gotten that notice on Bonanza for so many things, and they were all used items: Gund plush, wubbanub, Chiccos toys, Hershey plush candy bar, and so many more. It's beyond frustrating, especially for used items! I refuse to do that Reserve listings and approve each individually either. There are not enough sales over there warrant that time wasted. Oh, and I always message the company and mention the first sale doctrine. Last week after Fisher price removed one of my toys off ebay and I emailed FP, I did get an email from ebay saying I could relist it. That was a shock.

Yor Chevrolet analogy is effective. Considering the impact the brand protection trend would have on your business, have you ever consulted a Trademark/copyright attorney for an expert opinion on the legality of their position?

It's so upsetting to get a letter or worse suspended on Ebay. I am so careful about what I sell, but this is just wrong. And, I really think it hurts some of these brands, what are they frightened of? It drives more sales and branding for them? Stupid.

It’s happening on Poshmark as well with clothing companies.

Maybe letters to the sports franchises that had their merch made by that company will get results. Who wants a 'collectable' piece of clothing that you don't actually own? Right to resell is up there with right to repair. Ownership is everything.

Amazon does that with almost all name brands. It takes anywhere from 6 months to a couple years to get a release to sell certain name brands

@TheJarheadEntrepreneur Ай бұрын

That's crazy brother..At the very least they should have to include why or what you are receiving the letter for in detail. These platforms seem to coward down to these companies, rather than fight for the very people who they make money from. I totally get protecting a brand from counterfeit items, but then state that in the letter. I'll stand up next to ya with a sign if need be Brother. Keep Crushing It!!

That platform that you used for the hats did they have a pull-down tab to select a brand name? Was this brand name there? If so, how can they say you can't sell it if they have that brand name option. It's absolutely so ridiculous. I totally agree with you.

eBay started offering USPS Ground Advantage cubic rates. That 6.66 is probably a .3 cubic, and a somewhat close zip code. Those are all basically flat rate up to 20lbs. Also 18in is the longest allowed length

Even selling through Ebay. I listed a printer with all weights and dimensions listed. I sent the invoice and recall their address on the invoice. When they paid for the item, the shipping address was different. I lost $70 to ship it to their address. I contacted Ebay over several days and not only did I get misinformation or accidentally hung up on..I was told to take it up with USPS. I followed the most seemingly understanding employees direction. And it lead to no response. I've stopped selling on Ebay.
