I got the same letter I assume the reason they don’t actually leave a physical address is because this would inspire people to write them. What they really want is for you to just shut down the domain. The point of the letter is intimidation. Do you think they are really going to sue every site that has eBay in it? No, only the ones that become popular will get that treatment. I think it’s kind of foolish of them considering most of these sites are about how to make money using eBay which in a way is free promotion.

I thought this was fake and ignored the email. eBay contacted me personally I guess they do have an enforcement program that is different from their customer service group. There are so many domains using eBay that they prioritize and handle the domains accordingly. I researched the trademark laws, and was pretty sure there was nothing I could do.

this is real, i didn’t comply and the next day my email address at gmail was accessed by using some sort of law in the united states.

I found an eBay contact customer service form on this page:

http://ebay.about.com/od/frequentlyaskedquestion1/f/faq_contactebay.htm

Link to form “use this form” is under Live Contact – By Email about half way down the page.

I sent my questions about Edith and a minute later a copy appeared in my eBay account Sent folder. Amazing that I can’t send email to “customer service” from my eBay account.

Perhaps if a few hundred people try it someone will get an answer?

I received the same email from Edith. There does not seem way to email an actual person at eBay to find out if these emails are legitimate.

I think it’s fake too, annoying as hell, pushy, and insulting. But it would be nice if someone here knew 100% for sure that it’s fake. The name signed at the bottom was Edith, even more annoying.

It’s a scam to steal your domain, I have looked everything up and its all false. Plus there is no, ebayenforcement.com

If you don’t believe me call eBay.

It’s a false threat

I received a message 2 weeks ago and I replied. I received no answer and this week I received another stating more threats. However it ended up in my junk mail folder. I doubt that ebay would send these messages from any other domain other than ebay domains since the dont get delivered. Besides there is no contact information, no telephone number to call no address. It’s a false mail.
