since when do you need PERMISSION to sell items from a BRAND or otherwise.
the VERO system is nothing more then a way for big players to try control small sellers with MISUSE of copyright law, most of which are not even local.
false vERO claims are not new... and eBay has done little about it to protect sellers.
it comes down to wording and not misleading the customer and fair use!
for example:
-the customer should not think you are the brand or represent the brand or its network.
-you can use picture and info, logos etc to represent the product for sale as long as its not misleading.
-adding something like “private sale not affiliated with xyz” may cover this.
oten the claims have weak foundation and they rely on compliance
Fight back against these false claims, because its misused often.
