clarry, what are you sorry for?

That I am right?

Can't imagine how could you possibly mis understand my post?

It couldn't have been said any plainer!

The only time,  (pay attention here) is selling branded goods an issue is if they are fakes and you have hundreds of them!

If someone want's to set themselves up for selling brands, all new, big time, and that brand doesn't do wholesale, and on top of that you're selling them cheap - of course you are not authorised to do that, they'll question where did you get them from in such quantities as it wasn't from them! 

In my first post I was mainly saying that no one needs a permission from the manufacturer/designer to sell an item that they have bought - and if it gets removed it's because it's a fake, not because you didn't obtain a permission from them to sell your own item. Total rubbish!

And tippy,

how is a receipt going to help you if you are listing a fake item?

You may very well have one, a real receipt, but the item itself is fake, designer can recognise it as such and your listing will be pulled.

And if the item is NOT a fake - you don't need a receipt, you most certainly DON'T need their aproval , just a heps of good and clear pictures.
