So i wanted to sell this replica bomex style grill on Ebay, and just now, it was taken down because of copy right reasons and such.
Does anyone know if it's because I used the word Bomex in the auction that caused this problem? Or is it because I am selling an "illegal" item since it's a replica?
I see all these "some brand"-style stuff on Ebay and they are always fine. And now I did it, and my auction got deleted.

By the way, just found this article online: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/134596556_btknitting16.html


Here is a little paragraph:
The alleged violations include "wallpaper" over mention of Starmore's trademarked name, false or misleading statements about the similarity and appropriateness of substituting other yarns for Starmore's discontinued merchandise and copyright violations if Starmore's agent's correspondence was copied without permission.


I guess it's because I mentioned Bomex

i dunno about people use the word "BMX" for bomex if they also have the word replica as well.
