Hi Gord --
At least you have been honored with a reply... the Guelf police never replied
to me.
If you could get a Breitling lawyer exercised over the case, it would be
interesting if they viewed eBay as a participant in the trademark infringement.
Other than that, I wonder about a public, web-based, blacklist of thieving,
cheating eBay buyers and sellers. It would disclose all material facts, carry
copies of communications, etc. If such a site could resist all legal
challenges, it might grow and embarrass eBay.
Just dreamin' on, {Phil}
