Actually they do monitor e-bay. Either that or people turn other 
people in who have been turned in themselves.  A couple of years ago 
I had a magic wand for sale on e-bay and all I said was "Your Harry 
Potter fan would love this" and zap. It was not in the HP catagory 
and I did not advertise it as a HP wand. The item was taken off 
because WB said it was a infringement of their trademark.  So I 
said.. hum.. what are other people doing? And fool that I was, I saw 
that someone was giving away a HP card with a wooden wand, so ...  I 
put up the wand and a HP button and zap..zap.. gone. I got booted 
off. I had 100% positive feedback and everything. I was not 
deliberly trying to do anything wrong. I didn't know that "He who 
must not be named" was Harry You Know Who. And they said "you can't 
sell an authorized item with an unauthorized item. It was just a 
wooden wand, I never said it was a HP wand or anything. After 
battling with E-bay for 2 years I finally got back on.

It is madding when the real crooks get away with thing like bootleg  
DVD, etc. When you see something like that all you have to do is 
send the page to ...  anti-piracy at warnerbrother.com
