Dear Karin,

Thank you for contacting us regarding the removal of your eBay listing.

Your listing was removed because it was deemed inconsistent with eBay's
goals of promoting the marketplace and maintaining a safe trading
environment.

eBay may remove auctions if we believe that the sale of the item might
create liability for the buyer, the seller, or any third party. Sellers
whose listings have been identified as problematic may be warned, have
their listings ended, or have their account suspended from all eBay
buying and selling activity.

Unfortunately, there were certain indicators in your auction that are
common with known fraudulent listings. Please understand that we at eBay
are not personally in a position to judge the authenticity of high
profile items listed on the site. As a consequence of questionable
elements in your listing, we could not allow the items you had listed on
eBay.

Counterfeits, unauthorized replicas, unauthorized items, or unauthorized
copies are not permitted on eBay. eBay urges sellers and buyers to
comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the sale of
counterfeit items, unauthorized replicas and unauthorized copies is
prohibited by law sellers may not list these items on eBay. This policy
helps protect buyers from purchasing counterfeit or fraudulent items,
helps protect intellectual property rights owners against infringement,
and helps create a safer marketplace.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Freddy

eBay Customer Support
