Discussion:
What is the name of your state? United Kingdom
I was recently mass VeROed on eBay by Blizzards VUGlegal team. I am not even selling anything from within the game! I don't even own the game and have never played it. What I do sell is a privately written ebook/guide in Adobe pdf format about how to obtain gold ingame. The guide and the ebay listing does not contain any images, text, data or otherwise owned by Blizzard. I have spoken several times with VUGlegal and they continue to insist that if my guide was removed then I must have been breaking copyright or trademark laws. They told me to see a lawyer.
Is it illegal to write and publish a guide or report on a game? The only thing I can think might be the problem is me using the actual games name?? World of Warcraft... am I not allowed to do this?
I have over 2000 positive feedback with ebay at 99.3%, I care about customer care whereas ebay seems to care very little about their customers care. Because of VUGlegals repeated VeROing of my listings I have lost my ebay powersellers status and can only dread to think how close I may be to a permanent ban.
Please help I cant afford a lawyer from the few pounds I make from ebay. Is ebay breaking the law themselves? LINK:

Answer:
What is the name of your state? United Kingdom And when EXACTLY did the UK become a part of the US???
I thought we had a little skirmish some 229 years ago to prevent that being the case.
Sorry mate. US LAW ONLY!!
