Ok...guyz...I need an opinion...

I got this from ebay today:

"The following listing:

3321691738 - Chicago DVD Free Ship

was removed by eBay because a member of our Verified Right Owner (VeRO) Program notified eBay that the listing potentially infringes its copyright, trademark or other rights. We strongly urge you not to complete this transaction.

You can get more information on the VeRO Program at:

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this issue.

Regards,

Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department)
eBay"

Now...I talked to the person I bought it from, they have 100% positive feedback all that good stuff...so I mean...I trust them. I paid with check so I could cancel it if I need too...I don't even kno if the person is still gonna send it...in case they got an e-mail like that also. But what would you all recommend?

I'd cancel the check ASAP. If they strongly suggest that you not complete the transaction, then don't do it.

F*O*L 1988 · 04-17-2003, 09:50 PM

I'm sorry. I don't know what to say, because I've never been in this situation before. I guess I'd cancel my order and not take any chances.
I mean, the seller may have gotten great reviews, but this particular item may be iffy.

If you were to get the DVD I myself would keep it lol, but if you just sent out the $$$... then you should just cancel.

Ewan's My Man · 04-17-2003, 10:15 PM

Thanks guyz!!

Even tho you all advised me not to buy it...I still am...eek. I'm only 13...what's the worst they could do?? I'm only doing it b/c it's only illegal since it's not out yet, and she's sold them to other people before.

Just thought I'd share...come visit me in jail!

Nanny Fine · 04-17-2003, 10:37 PM

If you are only 13 how are you even allowed to be buying anything on eBay?

I think it is just ebay notifying you that this DVD will be bootleg. Honestly, I'd just go ahead in buy it. The government's got better things to do than track down bootleg copies of a movie. You could buy the same bootleg on the streets of NYC anyway.

I know you weren't asking me, but I think I registered on ebay when I was 15 or either 16. I used my dad's email and his name and I took care of it mostly. I always emailed the seller (I never sell on there) immediately after the auction ends. Promptly buy the money order the next day after receiving the seller's mailing address and get the payment out the very next day. I never went on a wild spending spree, eh, let me rephrase that. I never went on a spending spree if I didn't have the cash to pay for my purchases. When I have extra cash, I do go on the spending sprees. I know that has to be a pain in the ass. Someone wins your auction and then you get an email saying 'Well, I know I won your auction, but I don't really want the item now.'

Anyway, I wouldn't go through the transaction either. If you got an email like that, it just sounds too risky, imo.

GrapeJelly · 04-18-2003, 02:53 AM

Weird timing. The same exact thing happened to me today. I bid on something, the auction ended normally and everything when I suddenly got an email from ebay saying that the auction was null and void and they advise I not complete the transaction....except I had already paid via paypal so the seller had my money already. I can only hope they will be honest to go ahead and send my item since I don't have feedback or ebay as a safety net anymore. I can understand ebay shutting down an auction while it's still active, but when they shut it down after it's already ended it kinda leaves the buyer hanging by a string if they've already paid. Wish me luck, please!
