Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why was my auction terminated?
A: If one of your auctions has been removed from eBay this is because after review
NBI believes that it infringes our intellectual property rights. For example, anunauthorized copy of a product, or use of one of our trademarks without a license.
Q: But I like the product I’m selling on eBay. How can I obtain a trademark license to doso?
A: When we come across inadvertent trademark use on a quality product we often areable resolve it constructively through a forward-looking trademark license. Ourtrademark licensing program accommodates a wide variety of products to respond tothe broad range of consumers. If your product fits within our specifications it would
likely be acceptable for licensing. If you would like to apply for a license to continue
selling your product, fill out the contact form at www.NameBrands.net and we will
follow up with you within a couple of days.
Q: Why did eBay allow me to list my auction if it violates their VeRO policy?
A: They have no way of knowing in advance. That is your job. It would beunreasonable to expect a platform as large as eBay to pre-screen every auction foreverything. Therefore, certain impermissible items end up being listed and aresubsequently removed.
Q: Why didn’t NBI contact me directly before reporting my auction to eBay?
A: Given the number of NBI items listed on eBay, it would take an unreasonablecommitment of time and resources for NBI to contact each seller individually.
Q: Was I singled out when there are other auctions on eBay that infringe NBI’s intellectual
property rights?
A: You were not. Given the volume of auctions being sold on eBay, it is time
consuming and difficult to remove every infringing auction. The fact that others are
selling products that infringe our intellectual property rights does not give you oranyone else the right to do so.
Q: If I purchased a legitimate NBI item, can I re-sell the item on eBay?

A: Yes, you can re-sell genuine items that you purchased in their original, unalteredform, without any alterations, depending of the laws of your jurisdiction.
Q: Can I list an item if I clearly indicate that it is ‘Replica’, ‘Unofficial’, ‘Knock Off’ or‘Fake’?
A: No. Manufacturing, distributing and/or selling unlicensed goods infringes ourintellectual property rights and carries civil and/or criminal penalties. Saying thegoods are not genuine does not save you from liability.
Q: Can I use NBI trademarks, design rights, or copyright material to make my auction
look appealing?
A: No. Use of our trademarks, design rights, or copyright material wrongfully implies
that your auction is authorized, sponsored, approved, or endorsed by us. This canonly be done if you have an appropriate license from NBI.
Q: What if I didn’t realize that I was infringing NBI’s intellectual property rights?
A: It is your responsibility to ensure that your actions do not infringe our intellectual
property rights. Ignorance or lack of knowledge is not a defense under mostintellectual property laws.
