Ebay Shutting Custom Mego's Down!

[JediJaida]

What about selling on etsy? True, there are no auctions, but you might have an easier time.

Yet another reason I quit using FeeBay!

Agreed. To hell with them and their ridiculously over-priced BS.

This is another reason why I opened my own store online. Unfortunately, its not selling enough to cover the monthly fees, but I hold hope that it will grow so I can escape the tyranny of ebay.

Great news. I finally talked with someone (in Charge)who I could reason with and they did agree that the items were Mego and Canceled the restrictions on them and asked if I would be as clear as I can about which items were reproductions and which were actually Mego as I will continue to do... V-I-C-T-O-R-Y after a lot of Phone time. Wife is pleased I can see her and the kids again.LOL

Wow. People list reproduction Arcade cast iron toys all the time. Where's the crackdown on that garbage? But a custom MEGO that is on a genuine MEGO body (there is nothing original about the repro Arcade garbage) gets pulled?

[monitor_ep]

Ebay goes throught this with customs. One month they allow them and when somebody complains they pull all customs done. In a few months they will be back up.

I would just re list as Mego Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne bodies. You will get the same amount of attention.

All it takes is someone reporting an auction. There's a thread about it on here already- but someone made someone angry and the "Mego-like" auctions have been getting the hammer.

there must have been a great deal of complaints for ebay to take that position,i wonder do they have a mego
expert on board to make sure no customs get on the mego listings,this is awful because now if someone
wants to sell a figure and its got custom parts,they cant tell a buyer who may buy it thinking their getting an
original.confusing to say the least

Well Im not a big Customizer But I do a Fair Business Restoring Mego's. I put together a Clark Kent and A Bruce Wayne and listed them on Ebay. I decribed the Reproduction items(suits,glasses,hat,shoes and Bruce Head) and listed them not thinking anything of it until the Next day when I received notice that the items were removed because of the use of the Brand Name Mego. I emmidiately Called and stated that the items were Mego and then they requested proof and I send a picture of the Copyright Stamp on the Figures backs. I thought this was an open and shut Case but the Appeal was denied and stated the Use of Custom outfits and Bruce Head was keeping it from being a Mego and that the item needs to be original to list as a Mego item. Im still Fighting this one, but now I think im fighting this for all of us. I could use some good arguement points and maybe even some vocal support. I can see with this way of Ebay thinking that even something like a repro cape Batman would not be concidered a Mego in thier Eyes..
