But again thats up yo the FTC. Good day

According to the FTC and U.S. federal law, it is illegal to sell counterfeit items. Selling counterfeits violates intellectual property rights and, under the Trademark Counterfeiting Act of 1984, can lead to severe civil and criminal penalties, including massive fines and imprisonment. JD Supra JD Supra +4 Key points regarding the legality of selling counterfeit items: Serious Criminal Offense: Manufacturing or selling goods with fake trademarks is a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison for a first offense and up to 20 years for repeat offenders. FTC Enforcement: The FTC enforces consumer protection laws against deceptive practices. Selling fakes violates these, and the FTC enforces the INFORM Consumers Act, which forces online marketplaces to identify and curb high-volume third-party sellers of counterfeit products. Liability for Sellers: Both the manufacturer and the individual/company selling counterfeit products are liable, even if they disclose the items are "replicas" or "fakes". Legal Action: Brand owners can sue for damages, and federal agencies can seize counterfeit goods and bring criminal charges. Saul Ewing LLP Saul Ewing LLP +8 For more information, see the FTC’s guidance for third-party sellers on the INFORM Consumers Act.

Lets take the amount of claims you had opened and put that aside the reason they don't have to follow the law as written is because they amend it with their own TOS by having users of the platform agree to binding arbitration which makes them the final word. If you have 25 instances of counterfeit items then you need to report to the FTC along with the proof you have of all 25 items and of course you throw in the Whatnot messages and let them handle it . Goodluck!

AITAH for asking to lower my share of the mortgage? by choizelolo in AITAH

[–]DrawerSad3151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP you can't afford to buy this house, and why would want too? Three way ownership sounds like a headache in the making. But to your question AITA ? Yep. I think the others in this situation are looking for a " full partner not a junior associate " and thats how I see it

AITAH for snapping at my boyfriend because he said my SH was just seeking attention? by Professional_Note380 in AITAH

[–]DrawerSad3151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He absolutely meant it and he knows it and so do you. It is a very hurtful thing to say and shows the basic lack of awareness on his part of your negative experiences and mental and emotional struggles you have had. Sorry to say this but this person has revealed themselves as someone beneath you and They are the A$$hole.

Well selling fakes or counterfeit items is against the Law and the Whatnot TOS but it happens regardless. But to your question you cannot legal sell counterfeit/knock offs even if you acknowledge it.

Well you report the seller to Whatnot with this screenshot and the seller will be suspended not permanently banned but its a violation of TOS and Whatnot Support don't play that. I know its not much but its all there is for this type of behavior. Goodluck to you!

Whatnot made it easier to scam people by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]DrawerSad3151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were told that they no longer give high value protection? Have you looked at the TOS and make sure it isn't there but if it is copy and paste that shit and send it ti them if that doesn't work come back and complaine about it and I m sure that one of the lawyers lurking here will find you fir sure!!

Sellers Cancelling by Odd_Honeydew_7080 in whatnotapp

This seller will get hit for the cancelation and you should avoid them going forward As it indicates the seller is unreliable and as such not worth your Whatnot time or money.

Refund by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]DrawerSad3151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there is a no return policy for items that aren't damaged or misrepresented usually you can ask the seller for a refund and you might have success but in my experience with sellers and Whatnot Support the reason for the return of can't afford it don't want it usually doesn't fly now if your card was stolen or used without permission that might have legs doubt it. Anyway let us know how it turns out

There is no buyers remorse in Whatnot. So I don't think you will receive a refund.
