Reports by Consumers

This consumer reports on receiving and eBay warning after using manufacturer's intellectual property to describe an item he was selling. Strange:

Evidently my crime was copying the photo and specs for the DAC I was selling from Onkyo's Web site. Copying manufacturer info from their Web site to my eBay listing is something I have done in almost all of my many eBay listings and no one has ever complained. And I know that dozens of other people do the same.

Not only did eBay purge my listing, but they threaten to suspend my account If I "relist this or any other similar items on eBay"! What is a similar item? And why should that get me suspended? If I had the time and money I'd sick my own lawyer on eBay! I think Meg Whitman and eBay are getting way too big for their britches and plan to tell them so.
