The rights owner or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the rights owner, Mrs. Richard Long aka Mara Corday, notified eBay that this listing violates intellectual property rights. When eBay receives a report of this type of violation, we remove the listing to comply with the law. Listings or items that contain a celebrity's name, likeness, or signature may infringe his/her right of publicity. This right is generally defined as an individual's right to control and profit from the commercial use of his/her identity, and is not limited to only celebrities. You may need the celebrity's authorization to use his/her name, likeness, or signature in a listing or to list an item using such elements. Items that contain a celebrity's name, likeness, or signature may infringe his/her right of publicity. Such items are not permitted on eBay, unless they were made or authorized by that person. .......and so it goes.
