Ok I will first start by saying I read your article because I was suspended for what T&S emailed me as "Copyright Issues".
I said emailed me because this is what they did.
First they took my listings off 4 times. Every time I emailed asking what I needed to fix, they send me the same email sending me to read the rules. I literally stripped my listings, asked other power sellers and even they told me they saw nothing wrong with them, after all my litings mirrored theirs.. Long story short, after the 4th time, they suspended me for 7 days. THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO.
After my suspension did someone send me a different email explaining that it was illegal to sell counterfit Coach handbags. THIS IS TO A PERSON THAT HAD EVERY SINGLE CREDIT CARD BILL, EVERY SINGLE RECEIPT AND MIND YOU, I sent the gift receipt to all customers and they never made a complaint. It was a cut throat Seller and Ebay "per their words" had to follow through. Interesting huh? So I waited, sent information requested and then the games started. First they lost or could not find my paperwork, but of course, they were behind, then they continue to send their emails. It's a head game and if they have the time for head games, they need to find another player. So your article is well written but that would be if Ebay's trust and safety followed the rules they themselves expect the rest to follow. I feel if a seller breaks a rule, tell them what they did so it can be fixed. But no..lets play head games..so much fun isnt it..

Any of the outside companies that Ebay deal with just had to say this auction is copy right and they pull it without checking anything, not a thing.
And it is up to the seller to contact that outside company and get a letter from them///GOOD LUCK////.
You have to learn tricks to get around this stupid stuff when your the honest one..
NOW dont start talking about China/Hong Kong sellers. Ebay does NOT give them any discipline due to the amount of money they make Ebay. China/Hong Kong can ship with tracking for under $5. But to return their bad products it $17 plus $4 W/Return Receipt and China/Hong Kong do not abide with USA postal rules.
Money talk the rest is lip service.
Auctiva start your own Ebay style auction website maybe or does Ebay own stock in you too????????????

There is a forum I found on the internet that is free, and helps with Ebay, PayPal, business and the law. Just post any question, the experts will answer it if it has not already been answered!
The forum has a lot of expert advice on it. http://www.modeeworld.com/forums I found advice there about how to avoid EBAY suspensions, get past PayPal limitations, also lots of detailed help on creating your own business, getting past trademark violations, VERO and lots more. Plus general advice on how best to sell on EBAY, what sells the best, how to get the best price for your product, really everything related to EBAY and internet business.
Also advice about how EBAY really works and how PayPal really works. The inside scoop.
