They just delete the "offending" listing automatically as part of a lawyer-mandated official cover-our corporate-ass policy. They could give a hoot if the complaint has any merit or not (which this one clearly doesn't anyway). This sort of idiocy is just a tiny part of the price we pay for letting corporations and their lawyers run our world and our lives. As for recourse, no one should even bother trying to change Ebay's mind when they pull this stunt. Like I said, they don't care. They only want to be able to say to the complainant and their lawyer: "We immediately pulled the listing you cited." The best thing to try to do will be to wait a couple of weeks and simply re-list the TARANTULA half sheet (which is a nice one) but this time with no mention of the "Mara Corday" or any of the other stars in the title or description. You have to leave the photo of the poster, of course. But without the name in the title or description, the Ebay robots (both mechanical and human) may not notice or care anymore. But, if they've actually got a live person monitoring your new listings right now (unlikely but possible) then it might get pulled again. But if they did that, *then* you could file a protest and say, quite correctly that "nowhere in my listing did I used the name "Mara Corday". That might force someone with half a brain to actually look at your listing and realize that a picture of a poster with her name in tiny print as a legal part of the original poster is not in any way, shape or form intellectual property infringement. -- JR McDaniel Kirby POP wrote: > One more frustration with ebay.
