What We Remove on eBay
eBay's Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program gives rights holders a direct route to remove infringing listings, but it has specific requirements. We prepare and file VeRO reports that eBay acts on.
Counterfeit Products
Listings selling fake versions of your products under your brand name or with your logo.
Stolen Listing Photos
Your product photography copied into other sellers' listings, often for inferior or counterfeit items.
Copied Descriptions
Your listing titles, item specifics and descriptions pasted word for word.
Trademark Misuse
Your brand name used in titles and item specifics for products that are not yours, or used as a keyword to attract buyers.
Pirated Digital Goods
Unauthorized copies of your software, e-books, courses, music or designs sold as downloads or on physical media.
Unauthorized Replicas & Bootlegs
Replica merchandise, bootleg recordings and unlicensed prints of your work.
How an eBay Takedown Works
Case Review
Send us the item numbers, seller IDs or listing URLs. We verify your rights, capture the listings with timestamps and identify additional listings by the same or related sellers.
Report Preparation
We prepare eBay's Notice of Claimed Infringement (NOCI) with the correct reason code, your rights documentation and each item number, plus the sworn statements eBay requires.
Filing With eBay
We submit through the VeRO program, enrolling you as a rights owner where appropriate so future reports move faster, and log every reference.
Confirmation & Follow-Up
We track eBay's response, supply any clarification requested, confirm each listing is ended and pursue account-level action against repeat sellers.
Why eBay Reports Fail
Reports submitted through eBay's general "Report this item" link are reviewed against listing policies, not intellectual property rights, and are frequently closed without action. VeRO requires the rights owner, or their authorized agent, to file a specific notice with the correct reason code.
We file properly completed VeRO notices under the correct reason code, with the documentation eBay's team expects, and we follow each one through to removal.
- Using the "Report this item" button instead of filing a VeRO Notice of Claimed Infringement
- Choosing the wrong reason code โ counterfeit, copyright, trademark and replica are handled differently
- Reporting a seller's store page instead of the specific item numbers
- No proof of rights โ trademark registration, copyright ownership or original image files
- Missing the good-faith statement and the declaration under penalty of perjury
- Not reporting the same seller's other listings, so they simply relist the next day

eBay Takedown FAQ
Do I need to be enrolled in VeRO to report listings?+
You can file a Notice of Claimed Infringement without formal enrollment, but enrolling as a VeRO participant speeds up future reports and gives you an About Me page explaining your rights to sellers. We handle enrollment and ongoing reporting on your behalf.
How long does eBay take to remove a listing?+
Properly filed VeRO notices are usually actioned within 24โ72 hours in our experience. eBay ends the listing and notifies the seller.
Can you report sellers on eBay UK, Germany, Australia and other sites?+
Yes. VeRO operates across eBay's international sites, and we file against listings on eBay.com, .co.uk, .de, .com.au, .ca and others in a coordinated way.
What happens if the seller disputes the removal?+
Sellers can contact the rights owner or file a counter-notice for copyright claims. We respond, provide additional documentation where needed and advise you on escalation through our legal support service.
Can you stop the seller from relisting?+
eBay applies penalties to sellers who repeatedly infringe, up to account suspension. We report all of a seller's infringing listings together and document repeat behavior, and our monitoring service catches new listings as they appear.
