Scam Sellers call the fake mp4 players Nano's, IPods all the time and but don't offer the nano, ipod item in the listing. They change the name to iNano or uNano, and yet still there is no nano in the listing - nano is a regristered trade mark of apple inc.

i hope you saved the original message or otherwise your message is hearsay and not admissible. but if you did save the message from eBay, you've just caught them violating their own policies and the evidence is those listing that state the word nano but dont offer it.

I'll bet when eBay see's this... wait for it..... yep.... here it comes - one of their lawyers just got fired !!!

DAMN!! BUSTED!! I missed this too, but this is the KEY to force eBay to shut down all those scammer's auctions! :twisted: I've never actually seen any of them use "iNano" or "uNano"! No, they use "Nano" and "iPod" in their auctions! And even if they say that it isn't a Nano, according to what we read above, eBay has to close their auction for violating policy!

You (AS) would be in the best situation to complain, since they pulled your ad for violating policies, and it would show "unfair practice" if they neglected to pull all chipod auctions that contained the registered brand names "nano" or "ipod". So if complaining about the seller selling hacked players doesn't work for them, the "nano" complaint has to!

Now we know why they didn't specify exactly why they pulled your auction! They don't want you knowing the "loophole" (that they pulled it because you complained about sellers selling hacked "nano" clones!). Knowing that the word "nano" violates policy means one could use the same tactic to force ebay to pull all nano clone auctions people complain about containing the word "nano"!
