eBay seller in the UK who dropships a lot of items
from Amazon. I use scraping software to
gather items in bulk from Amazon and then
use bulk listing software to list on eBay. I
recently got a Vero warning on Nov 29th for
an "Ultrasport UmovE" product which I
promptly removed from eBay. Today, the 4th
Jan, I received a very threatening letter pack (via
recorded delivery) from a lawyer firm called Fladgate
saying they are acting on behalf of a company
called Summary AG in Germany which owns the
brand Ultrasport. I suddenly realised that
we had removed "Ultrasport UmovE", but had
overlooked removing "Ultrasport" which we
had about 80 odd listings for (and had no
idea as they were bulk listed). The letter
is a copyright infringment notice informing
me that I have to remove the listings and
also pay them 35,000 pounds in damages by
Jan 24th!! We have not even sold any of
these products. Please see the attached
claim letters. Can you please help as I am
now in major panic mode and in no position
to pay that sum. I have made sure that all
their brands have been removed. Your
professional advice is much appreciated!
Best regards,
Richard
