Rob Chesnut (Head of Trust and Safety) told us that he disagreed with VERO rights holders who use VERO to control the marketplace rather than to fight fake products. He has actually in the past, following a conversation where a manufacturer stated they use the program simply because they don't want their products sold on eBay, terminated their VERO membership as it's blatent misuse. Nice to see the boot on the other foot for a change :-) In a totally different session at eBay Live!

The majority of the problem we have had with vero the inability to communicate with Ebay and the vero rights owner. It has taken us two weeks to be given any reason for the vero from the rights owner. In our case the product was veroed by the European distributer, but we purchased from the UK distributer basically the european distributer vero'd their own product. So far this vero has cost us over £4000.00 of Ebay sales. Even a simply request to Ebay for a copy of the original Vero statement issued against was refused and we were told that we would have to obtain a court order if we wanted to see a copy. Most people can not afford to take on Ebay or the rights owner in court. So the very rarely is the Ebay vero system tested in court.
