Some companies say "Our products will never be sold on ebay" and they mean it. If they have their own distribution system, and things turn up on ebay, they have been stolen or "diverted", which makes them VERO material.
If they distribute through independent distributors, who have signed agreements to only sell to authorized accounts, and the distributors are required to get the same commitment from their customers, and their goods end up on ebay, they have still been purchased outside the standard distribution system and are not approved.
It may suck to Candace, but it's how some companies choose to operate and they DO have the right ot protect their trademarks and copyrights, among other things.
Read what is written on this forum, forget branded electronics and clothing. Find some non-branded goods and get rich....

I don't think companies should have these rights, it should be against the law. If I buy a product I should be allowed to sell it wherever and whenever I like. Thats how big companies control price fixing in different countries. To make more money they will charge the distributor more for the same product in a richer country than they would in a poorer country.
