If You Are Not a Rights Owner
Information for eBay Users
In cooperation with rights owners, eBay works to develop and enforce policies and procedures for protecting intellectual property.

eBay was one of the first companies to adopt an online process enabling rights owners to report infringements.

This program, called the Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program, now counts among its participants over 28,000 companies and individuals representing every type of intellectual property - from major software companies to video game developers to rock bands to luxury good manufacturers.

Benefits
Participation in the VeRO Program entitles rights owners to the following benefits:
  • Dedicated eBay staff to assist you in getting the most out of the Program
  • Rapid response by eBay in ending listings reported by you as allegedly infringing, pursuant to the VeRO Program notice of infringement
  • Dedicated priority email queues for reporting alleged infringements
  • The ability to obtain identifying information about eBay users
  • eBay member rights and privileges as described in the eBay User Agreement
  • Automatic updates on new benefits available under the Program

How can I participate?
It is fast and simple to participate in the VeRO Program. If you have a good faith belief that a listing on eBay infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, all you need to do is download our Notice of Claimed Infringement (NOCI) form, fill it out, and fax it to eBay. After we process your first NOCI, eBay will send you an electronic version of our NOCI form as well as instructions on how to submit future reports electronically.

Create your own About Me page
As a rights owner, you can also create your own, free About Me page on eBay to communicate directly with eBay users about your company, your products and the intellectual property rights you own. Once you have posted your About Me page, send us an email and we will include it in our list of VeRO Participant About Me pages. 		VeRO About Me Pages
