That would make me very cross! They clearly did not employ anyone who
knew anything in the 'Bay's legal department.
Still cannot send you emails direct Andrew...

Not quite a garage sale - I just had a disturbing experience. I listed
a Heliopan filter (49mm Light Green - anyone, anyone...?) and was
immediately threatened by one Bob Salomon (sounds familiar) that he
was the US agent for Heliopan and I was 'not allowed' to offer any
Heliopan item to a potential US buyer on pain of customs confiscation
and legal action. Further and more annoyingly, he was able to have it
delisted by evilbay under their VeRO program and they in turn
threatened me with suspension.
EXCUSE ME! Since when was selling a used item illegal? I note that
this guy also has agencies for Rodenstock and Linhof - hope he doesn't
try the same thing with a major brand. Is it not about time that *bay
recognised itself as a transnational cyberentity?
Garage sales rarely involve lawyers working to a foreign script!
