    Post: Infringement ???

    Posted by Bob B on 3/25/05


    I legaly bought a few item "Logo"'d item at a store, and
    put them on Ebay for resale. There were many other of the
    same items alos being offered on Ebay at the same time by
    other sellers. After 3 day of being on the auction
    Ebay "pulled them off" and sent me a letter that I
    was "Infringing" on the Owners rights by selling the
    items. They also sent letters to the bidders "stating", I
    was selling counterfeit items, or copyrighted items
    illegaly, while at the same time allowing the exact same
    items to be sold by other people on their site. They did
    this because the copyright owner wrote to them and told
    them they were counterfeit or an infringement. I check
    some copyright laws, and found out that I could sell the
    items leagaly as long as they were purchased from a
    licensed retailer, which I did. After a week of email
    correspondence to the copyright holder and Ebay I was
    allowed to re-list them and sell them. Is this
    an "infringement on my rights as well as defamation of my
    good name, being that Ebay sent the letters not only to me
    but to others who were bidding on my items? Also who would
    be responsible Ebay or the copyright owner for claimng the
    were counterfeit or illeagle
