PLEASE BE CAREFUL EVERYONE. How should we handle these bullys?
Definitely NEVER buy their stuff anymore. That's all I have to say.
I would never buy from them, either. But that's not enough. There needs to be changes...drastic changes.

Vote out corporation loving anti union anti small business Republicans
ok just stop its both democrats and republicans all politicans for that matter. But if you insist chicago is run by democrats so thats something@@NickPapagiorgio2024
I have never bought from them…now never will! Sounds like you need to zero out your Amazon acct daily!
I just ripped the phone accessory off my phone and threw it in the trash. I will no longer purchase anything from that phone accessory place and I encourage everyone else to boycott them. Together we can make a difference!!!
I will no longer take poops to stand in solidarity
Cmon you can say what it is

At some point, eBay, Poshmark, and other online platforms are going to have to stand up for sellers and fight these frivolous lawsuits, because it will start affecting their bottom line at some point in the future.
Ebay is too liberal they won't protect their resellers
if some one breaks the law
They do. They stopped, or at least postponed the 600$ tax reporting bill in 2023 by bringing sellers to DC to meet with congress. They're standing up for us but we also have to get our senators and congressmen on our side.
They also have employees that go to your house and harass you which cost eBay $5 million!!
So, what are we supposed to do? Contact every company and get their permission to resell stuff we are trying to flip? We don’t know what company is going to be next in line to sue us next.
The abuse of the 1st Sale Doctrine, trademark and copyright is genuinely alarming. It's just straight up alarming.
It’s disgusting I agree
It’s there to protect the owner’s income from that product if it is trademarked or copyrighted. Those laws exist for a reason because then the rich people would be poor if they didn’t make a law to protect the rich.
It seems so predatory. Why don't they go after the counterfeiters? Nothing surprises me anymore.
they can't, because they are overseas
@@S.A.D.i.S.T.I.C sadly that’s the reason.
Company greed. Lets dont get the people in China but the poor zap in the US, Americans attacking Americans.
Ebay should offer some layer of protection to its sellers against ridiculous lawsuits or accusations not throw you under the bus and hand over your money to whoever sues you
They don't even have a layer of protection from eBay buyers/sellers nor they will protect from big vendors.
thats coming but it wont be free. Resellers will be required to have liability insurance to sell on a platform, kind of like car insurance. @@ArturoCurenoIT
i think ebay has been sold to the enemy. i honestly feel that is true. just like alot of other entities have been sold to the enemy. The consumer protection in this country is damn near non existent. been that way for a long time. system is set up to continue to rape and pillage the people. no upward momentum for the people . no forward progress. oh got too much upward momentum. gotta knock them down a couple pegs.
They won’t. They just wanna be left out of it
Ebay dint do shit for sellers, they only care about buyers, where is all the buyers gonna be when sellers disappear, im leaving eBay due to their treatment of me, they don't listen to anyone, not even buyers, I have excellent feedback, my buyers praise me, but I've been knocked from top rated plus for years to below standard because I've had to cancel a few orders in the last year, that's it. Ebay can bite me
This video just pisses me off, how could anyone with common sense especially the judge think selling one $15 t-shirt is worth thousands of $$$ in a settlement. Just disgusting.
Welcome to America
@@RockstarFlipper it’s like legal robbery, just without a ski mask or gun
Assuming the way the law was described in this video is accurate, eBay has a vested interest in getting their legal team on top of this. In the event all manufacturers take this hard lined approach, eBay's entire business model is in jeopardy.
Unfort I agree with you, BUT Ebay is threatened by not agreeing to it. Otherwise eBay get sued
@@RockstarFlipperhave you seen where over 200 people on ebay are being sued by bunch o balloons for selling fakes? I sold about 2 and had 10 listed and have been named it it. Ugh! I messaged the attorneys back and am waiting to see what they will do next. I have no idea what they will go after and i'm freaking out! Help!
The scary part of this is that any company can suddenly decide to start bullying resellers.
These big companies need to be accountable for their behavior.
I don't understand the reasoning behind it because it's such bad PR.
I don't sell those products but now I'll never purchase from them either
It's fast money apparently
@@RockstarFlipper It's horrible behavior on their part
If you are getting sued, checking reddit might be a good way to meet others who are being sued under the same lawsuit. I heard of a girl from Germany who was being sued this way. After struggling to handle it herself. She found others on a Reddit thread and they split the cost for a lawyer and the charges were ultimately dismissed.
I wonder if it isn't a scam? I know this type of thing happens to small businesses with bricks and mortar locations regarding ADA rules. They go on google earth and measure for "compliance" and call the company demanding thousands claiming they are going to sue because their ramp is a quarter of an inch too short.
@@inthesun3884that's what I was thinking also
Great idea. #FreeTrade
Thank you Casey for in-directly let us know who these companies are! You’re so brave to try to protect us 🙏
We need to reform the trademark system. This is just way too much. You shouldn't be able to trademark a word that's in the dictionary at all. While looking at trademarks the other day I found so many stupid trademarks.
🤬
So many things are trademarked or copyrighted. Fonts, logos, words, phrases, etc. Some that have been around 'forever'.
Let 'em lose all the extra free advertising they get from all the resellers not to mention turning their brand into poison in the market. Chinese fakes are one thing but them sticking their heads up their own asses and going after resellers that sell used products? Well, I hope if they're doing that they go broke as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. And Resellers that are honest really need to find a way to talk about advocating for fair laws for resellers.
These companies usually start this crap when they see a decline in the sales of their products. Otherwise they wouldn’t give a care!
I would have to agree with you on that
A few years ago retail resellers like tj max & Marshall’s stopped writing the brand of shoes on their shelves and changed it to “popular brand”. This is very scary knowing how companies copy each other and want to force people to buy new.
Thanks for the info Casey! Loving your channel & your service, you are the best my friend!
The law states that the owner of any legal item is allowed to sell it. However, fascist companies don't like the competition. What's baffling is that Ebay panders to this, when they should be telling these companies to pound sand.
Because if they don’t the company will sue ebay
@@RockstarFlipper Ebay gets sued everyday. They could counter sue for loss of revenue. Instead they buy a company with program that searches for cheap t-shirts and hats with company logo and tag that doesn't match.
All this for a 15$ shirt? I felt like I was a target when I sold a couple of remote controls for ceiling fans and who knows - it might still come back and bite me, but I only had two bought from a garage sale who's inventory came from a gaylord from our local Goodwill. These companies need to track back to these other businesses if they have a problem with their inventory ending up in the wrong place.
These monster companies that do this stuff to people selling legitimate products are living the high life while most of the people that sell one or a few of their products are just trying to make $20 to keep their lights on and feed their family and pay bills. All the while they are eating the best of the best food and living in multi million dollar homes, and the sad part is they enjoy what they are doing. If the shoe was on the other foot they may just have a different outlook but that will never happen unfortunately. I wish there was a way to stop these billion dollar companies, and take them from the penthouse to the outhouse, that would thrill me to no end. Thanks for the information as always. Keep up the good work on spreading the word to keep us safe on these important issues.
Wow..Casey this is huge. Thanks so much for this video. How absolutely disturbing that they'd bully their way into destroying resellers who are trying to just make an honest living..
Thank you for letting us know about this!!
No problem at all
Thanks for keeping us up to date, Casey!
Anytime
Why can’t eBay delisted these products to save unknowing sellers and not allow new listings of said products?
Because some people might have permission to sell items and ebay's not going to get in the middle
Ebay is getting in the middle if they are shutting down accounts and relinquishing their funds to anyone other than the account holder.
I am involved in something similar. I got sued by an american university. I lost my business over this. I even got a lawyer and still no luck. Few points to add:
The defendants are only sealed as it goes through the court this is a tactic to give the defendant no time to defend the defendants are all unsealed near the end.
The cost for a lawyer to file lawsuits like this is ~$450 unlimited defendants can be named.
You can find all the lawsuits by getting a pacer legal account and searching illinois copyright lawsuits. Its scary how many there are.
The vero list does nothing any company can decide to sue you.
It can be new or used items.
The settlements prices and fighting this is getting harder. People were able to settle before easily while now their tactics are more difficult.
I dont know what to do...
They have found over the years more and more ways to do it
I am a supersmall seller. And haven't even been fully focusing on my store much these past 6 months or so, cause of life and health. However, I had an emoji birthday/party set of items up, including the 💩. So took that s*** down. Unlikely they'd come after someone like me...but with my luck, it'd happen lol. This whole thing is so frustratingly ridiculous.🤦♀️
Thank you, Casey, honestly, for updating us and keeping us in the loop on reseller news.
The world is going to hell in a handbasket, as they say!
It’s beyond absurd to be able to control a second hand item this way. Are they going to sue every thrift store, every person who gives their item to a thrift store? Are they going to tell customers when new they can never donate, share, sell what they are buying?
That would be to hard for them and not easy paydays
I was told by Ebay that a dog scarf which had a "velcro" type closure could not be listed with the word "velcro" in the title or description because of similar copyright or patent issues.
Correct. NEVER use the word velcro
Velcro is the brand name. Hook and loop tape, or dots, is what I see used as the generic description.
Thank you For The Information Casey
Casey, thank you for always keeping us informed!
You got it!
Could we file a federal lawsuit to change the law in general?
I
I had a p**p imoji hat so I took it down, and two no name phone sockets that I just went ahead and took down to be safe. None of them were worth much and no way worth possible trouble later. I am so shocked. I have gotten counter fit designer watches in my Goodwill mystery boxes that I obviously would never sell, yet Goodwill can sell them to me !!! This is so frustrating, I luckily sell mostly stuff that would never be an issue, vintage glass ware, my handmade stuff and vintage knick knacks, and some random household type things, but I do have a lot of costume jewelry listed and I had some clothes I wanted to list, now I am not so sure I want to. Hopefully the jewelry will continue to be safe, just costume, nothing expensive.
Thanks so much for the warning.
Needs to be a scale back approach if the person/company they going after costs them more trouble. They drop it as it’s not worth their time. Not the other way around where they suck them out to dry for a single item they knew nothing about. This is very similar to the farmer getting sued for a termination seed growing on their land because a few seeds “blew” over……
Thank you for the information I don't have either of those things but I appreciate the warning that these people are out there
Thank you for the information.
Thank you so much for this very informative video. I am so glad I found this as I was getting ready to post some off branded P.S like items that I customize to sell. I am so glad I have not listed any of the items I have because I am unable to go through a lawsuit
Very scary and if you think about it literally any brand or company can do this and put us all out of business. Thats the risk of reselling
They would have to put the thrift stores out of business as well.
@@user-bi6xp9kz6g there's really no record of most things the thrift store sale, and even if there is a record it's not really put out there for others to see.
Thank you for all of the informative videos! Much appreciated.
Very welcome
There should be some sort of 'league' of re-sellers that distributes information so if many are being sued they can find each other via some sort of reseller network. It's easy to bully small businesses when they're not banded together.
So vicious!
I mean I get it. If I had a trademark on some thing and people were selling my trademarked item, I would want to be the only one to sell associated products.
HOWEVER, I would also want to extend grace and kindness to those who may be completely unaware that they’ve infringed on my trademark and kindly inform them. Why can’t people be kind???
Greed is why
Thanks for the info Casey
You got it!
Casey you're awesome thanks for sharing this information with us
Appreciate these updates
Wow! I saw this just in time. I was about to list one of those phone things. Thanks Casey! Also I had no idea about the other thing either. That was kind of a shocker.
Very welcome!
It's not worth selling on eBay any more. Between companies suing and the stupid $600 tax rule. The increase ebay fees and shipping fees.. I quit.
It’s not a $600 tax rule. It’s a $5000 tax rule. And it’s actually neither. It’s a one cent tax rule. If you make money online, you have to report the income. It doesn’t matter the amount. The tax law for reporting 1099 does not apply to you. Income tax law applies to you and it always has. The new law only affects the companies themselves having to send you a 1099. You still have to report your earnings no matter how much you make.
Well good luck on a company suing me for that kind of money. Id be going to my congressmen and file a complaint against them. Its really pathetic comming to small one time users for this. Atleast give a warning to take it down. Ive told ebay tons of times that we as sellers dont always know whats on the banned list. And as humans sometimes put things up we may not know is not legal to sell. And a warming to take it down 99.9% of the time.. would be suffice.
Finally someone talking about what needs to be talked about. Would a PAC (political action group) help? Reselling is only growing. We are MOM & POP small businesses. We need to be protected
Something has to happen. I dunno the correct path honestly. It’s hard to fight a billion dollar company.
How about contacting your congressman or senators? How about the Commerce Department?
There should be a way to raise awareness about what these so called lawfirms are getting away with.
I don’t understand why everyone is saying stuff like “contact congress” and “someone has to protect us”.
You need to protect yourself. If you are running a business, you should have general liability insurance. The insurance protects you from exactly these situations. They hire an attorney to defend you in these cases.
It’s not anyone else’s job or responsibility to protect your business. It’s yours.
@@josephgarcia5372 Congress makes the laws and these companies are violating the intent of the law. So yes, contact your congressman and tell them to put an end to this corruption.
@@RockstarFlipperits not. find some good lawyers. Have a group and anyone who finds the group and is under a particular lawsuit can be added to the cost of lawyer. This way they will start thinking twice before starting a lawsuit for fun. Also the major problem is the law. The law should specifically say that they should make efforts to warn you before they start a lawsuit. If you dont listen then they can put you in a lawsuit. Also this makes it definite that the infringer made the infringement with knowledge. Also just so you know if every seller replied to the lawsuits this will overburden the system and they will find ways to change the laws. What gives them space to move like they do is the non response and the settlements
Exactly why I don't and won't do eBay anymore or any other platform like it
Sorry to hear that
This is the one time where I hope that the bad advertising from all of this hurts the companies so bad that they learn that bullying people is a bad way to do business.
It's good for their wallet, so they don't care
This is a GREAT example of why you do NOTHING in your own name and EVERYTHING in a LLC and I would even do another step to go further and do an LLC where they cant figure out who owns it. The lawyers will get fed up and go right past you.
LLC doesn't protect you. Trust me. When I got sued, they named me personally AND my LLC. Doesn't matter. Thats a huge myth
That's probably because you failed to set up your llc properly. Just registering an llc doesn't do squat, following through the entire registration process does. If you did the correctly, YES you would be projected and secure behind an llc.
Our courts systems are beyond broken. Fairness and justice is not how our court systems rule. It is only about who has the most money. The deeper the pockets the better chance of winning a case. It doesn't even matter if you are guilty or not.
And, as far as product manufacturers not allowing their items to be resold, screw them, I say everyone should boycott their products until the company goes broke from a lack of sales. Who cares how good their product is.
Once I buy a product, I should be able to do what I want with it. It becomes my property. What are the producers / manufactures going to do next? Tell you when or how can use their product. They should never be able to have that kind of control or overreach after it leaves the store where it was legally purchased from. Ridiculous!
I don't understand why reselling platform companies are not banding together for a class action lawsuit. Resellers should unite to pressure the reselling platform companies to help reform laws against this kind of bullying. If we don't, soon there will not be any merchandise to sell for resellers. Which means resellers and reselling platforms go out of business. A "reseller alliance" needs to be formed, together with mass publicity to the public. This is the only way.
Absolutely 100% correct. more money = win
PopSockets was the item in the article. As my research showed they arw not selling very well. So this appears to be the best way to make back the investment they made in the item. Here is another bud lite and Disney boycott that needs to take place. Whos 4 it
LOL i wish people would
Is Disney also going after re-sellers?
What about the emoji? Can you name it even initials only
@@alienynnal it’s all over the comments and looks like a chocolate swirl
Thank you!!
Very welcome
This happened to my husband when he barely started his ebay store and we settled on $1,000. It's terrible and the lawyers are so rude! We had no idea and tried to tell him that but they don't care at all. They used a fake name to purchase the item also and it was sent to a p.o box.
Yup they sting buy a bunch
What was your husband selling ?
Thanks Casey!!!
Anytime!! thanks for being here
What horrible news to wake up to. Big thank you to her for reaching out to you!
Yeah it sucks to hear this stuff
It's impossible to send a message that we won't be bullied when we're talking about backing down and pulling everything, you won't say the names, etc.. all it means is, they have already won.
It’s in The comments. And I won’t say it because anyone as petty as them would
Come for me and I’m not trying to deal with them. Say what you want but I’m not being dumb
@@RockstarFlipper I don't blame you, or anything like that. I'm simply stating that if they get the response of everyone backing off, turning their names in to Voldemort, they are already getting exactly what they want.. Once that occurs, going to the court and saying to a judge that it's not right, fair or whatever, loses it's power because we were able to bow down before
@@RockstarFlipperplease do a video on the travesty of bunch o balloons suing over 200 people on ebay. I got a hold of 10 packages, sold maybe 2, now i'm in a class action lawsuit and waiting for the judgement. It is freaking me out! I sold ebay as a fun hobby and for a little extra cash and now i have legal trouble, it is freaking me out! Please respond! I have no idea what they are going to try to get out of me! 😡
@@chrismarten4188 Unfort it’s very similar to the lawsuit I mentioned In this video. Just a different company. I’m sorry this happened to you. You need to contact a lawyer or contact them directly and try to work out a deal to get out of it or settle. That’s your cheapest option
Hey Casey - Thank you so much for the information! Do you know if they are coming after folks that have already sold these products like months/years ago?
Could be, this person sold it a couple weeks ago i think
I'm going to say apparently they want more landfill garbage basically polluting the land of reselling a secondary item which means people should go around tell stores that are second hand stores not to sell those items so they force them all into the garbage so it creates a major problem! And people should start boycotting both of them!
I say we all stop buying from these kind of companies, which in turn would hopefully put those scumbags out of business and into bankruptcy, and give them a taste of their own medicine!
Unfort, not enough of the general public knows
@@RockstarFlipper Very true Casey, although, very unfortunate. Either way, thanks for the information brother!
Stopping from buying from these companies won’t protect you from any other companies that jump on the bandwagon. This person had a NON- counterfeit item--so how am I’m supposed to figure out if my phone accessory or any other $10 item isn’t a counterfeit? It’s not like they are labeled as fakes! How can I sell any item & NOT use the brand name in the title, description or item specifics!!🤬🤬😡🤬
It's going to take someone willing to fight it through but at the same time get national coverage. The $15 poo shirt would had been a perfect story the whole country would had love to hear.
@@TH-cam4Rudy True
These companies are cowards, and eBay does not care about their resellers. This should not be allowed, but we know our justice system like a lot of America's other systems are broken. Sorry the lady in California woke up to this. Totally unjust. 😢
100% Correct. Complete garbage
Thank you!
You got it!
Makes it even harder when you can't tell people what not to do or what the item even is...I don't know what I'm not supposed to do even though someone told me not to do something because they won't tell me..
Thanks Casey
Thanks for sharing
Very welcome
What about the Cease and Desist letter that you must send out first before you file a lawsuit.
Not required by law. Only if ordered by a judge does it go in the public record.
Nope not true. c&D are NOT required
These companies would rather see their used products go into a landfill. They want customers to buy new products.
That's how they make more money
Which is why when they throw inventory into the dumpsters, they sometimes throw bleach etc on top of it to discourage dumpster divers from selling those products.
Rockstar Flipper, I so appreciate your warning videos like this one. I'm sure you have saved many people from having their lives destroyed financially. Thank you so much!
This just seems criminal. If you purchase something and pay for it, you should have the right to sell it, burn it, donate it etc.
You do.. technically. But not to use the name/logo
Thank You.
Very welcome!
This is 💩 to say it bluntly. It shouldn't even be happening, but I'm not surprised that it is. My concern is how many companies will follow suit in the attempt to bleed us dry because they've fallen behind on their sales and profits in the last few years.
My worry exactly. How do we resell anything and know 100% that company isn’t coming for us? Why bother reselling if we can’t use the brand name? This gig may not be worth it.
Is this 🛁 💩 ??
I couldn't imagine being sued over a poop t shirt
Right!!
I wondered about those when I saw literally replicas of top designer brands on Amazon and even Ebay. Actually, I stumbled upon a listing around black friday on Amazon and they are back up! So I don't how it's ever going to be resolved when they somehow can trick the systems.
That’s interesting. I had someone purchase that emoji character from the emoji movie but then cancelled. Might not be connected but maybe it was part of a fishing expedition.
We all have to countersue them
Go for it. When you call a top legal team the retainer will be 6 figures. Please wire us 100K. So you can fight, maybe you win. You are out 100-hundreds of thousands. But its the principal right? So do it. GIve it 3-5 yrs before the case is over.
It has to happen
That’s the issue.
These companies know that the majority of sellers on eBay CANNOT afford to fight back.
The epitome of a bully.
@RockstarFlipper how do we get this done? We need to do it. The sue happy culture in general is awful. If we get it at a thrift store or garage sale or even a regular store...
Absolutely disgusting! Thank you for the information.
Using the manufacturers that appear on the VeRO Owner Program list as an example, there are tens of thousands of OEM product listings on eBay. This seems very ambiguous. How would we as resellers know which companies will actually exercise their legal clout and when they could arbitrarily go after a reseller?
Sadly we don't know
Any updates on daily refinement?
Maybe a list of chicago law firms taking part in this practice article stated they are created at a growing rate.
Thank you for sharing this. What these companies don't realise is that resellers are their biggest free advertisers.
They are GREEDY
Casey you just saved me! Thank you because someone just purchased a smiley face Bluetooth speaker I had listed on Poshmark. I watched this video yesterday and I cancelled the sale. ❤❤❤
I dunno if smiley face is an issue
@@RockstarFlippersmiley is another huge active company suing. They are doing 100s of stores everything few weeks lately
Thanks
No problem
I also wonder if this is another way big corporations are trying to eliminate small businesses?
Contact your Senator & Representative in Congress to get the law changed!
Unfort they are the ones that made them this way for the most part
There are an estimated 24 million sellers online. It will take those 24 million sellers to contact (consistently) our federal legislation to have these laws fine-tuned. The only way to fight these billion dollar companies, is to find someone with more money and power than these companies. AKA the Federal Government.
Yup thats about the only way to take them on is to change the laws
So...ebay has powerful connections down in dc. They have an entire team. Maybe its time to get ahold of that ebay team???
Also. Whats to stop any company from doing the same? What if they decide to kill reselling? Makes you think. 🧐
The golden rule: those with the gold get to make the rules. The way it’s always been.
Yup they have the money to push
This is where all resellers need to get together and sue eBay Amazon Etsy and give them a settlement of go after the trademarked company’s
So is there any advice on what we should not resell?Or even like say we know what items not to sell already but any brand could just come right out and sue us?
Thank you. I agree the law needs to change.
Unfort i don't see it happening because if they did change it, the big corporations would cry and they have the money
How is this action by the big companies not predatory? Seems they don't benefit in the long run. Or hopefully they don't. They deserve bad press going after small people, ruining lives.
It is predatory in my opinion
I have been thinking of selling online. I have many different things to sell, from Disney plush to antique glass. Now I may not do it. I might to try something else to get extra income
This is as scary as informative. Ty.
Thank you for the information! I, unfortunately, am using a P_S holder on my phone because I have bad grip strength due to neuropathy. Now I need to find a similar but different product to switch to that is as quality as this one. The ring style hurts my hands but the squish in and out circle kind is the one I use. As for the emoji situation, good to know, too! I don't gravitate toward those types of products but if I see one I'll pass it up. I'm only just getting started on my journey into reselling, so this is super helpful news. Thanks.
this is one of the worse scams.. shame on them
Agreed
So I’m just curious, what if one of the products is purchased by someone at a Goodwill ? Will they come after Goodwill?
That's what I was thinking. Even thrift stores sell counterfeit clothing and purses but they don't get in trouble.
@@peddlinpatricksit's just an easy way for that company to make some money sadly. They are disgustinggg humans.
Sadly no. They know goodwill has the money to shut them up
Goodwill is a non-profit company. Most likely, they are immunned from many of the rules and regulations that a for-profit company has to deal with.
@@Sonny77776 while yes goodwill is a 501c non profit, they aren’t shielded from lawsuits. The law firms can’t make a quick buck on them and they know it
What does Ebay have to say about this? Why don't they give us a red flag before we list certain things that aren't permitted? its almost like they are setting us up for failure.
Ebay does not care about you. At all. Lol. They don't care at all.
But if enough of us get together & contact ebay about this, maybe something can be done? All I am asking for is for some type of warning or red flag BEFORE I list a vero item. They do something similar with native american items, ivory items, etc...why can't they for Vero?
I agree! They allow you to list a VERO vs giving some sort of pop up that won’t allow the listing!
So a company can decide tomorrow they dont like you selling their stuff online and sue. Vero does absolutely nothing.
I've been hearing that now is the time to up the clothes as more people will be buying used clothes online in the next 5 years, but with that said that will make more stores close down and start online sales....which makes me think to stay above the resellers out here they will all start going after non company sellers like this to save their businesses....any thoughts ?
Who knows. They are being ridiculous
They would have to shut down every thrift store - all they sell is used items.
Two others to be aware of in my experience are VELCRO and CRISS ANGEL 🙄
Velcro is a well known offender since the start of time. You don't use that word EVER...or "onesie"
Since any company can do this then what’s the future of selling?
