: Here is the reply I got back from them after reporting the auction and telling them where mame is and where the license is and says. As of posting this the auction is still up.
: Hello,
: Thank you for writing.
: We have reviewed the auctions you have brought to our attention and
: taken appropriate action. We would also like to explain eBay's policy
: with respect to reports like yours. eBay is not in a position to make
: judgments about the authenticity or authorized nature of auction items,
: except in the most extreme circumstances. This may mean that we cannot
: remove the item about which you contacted us. In some cases, we refer
: the information to the owner of the rights (copyright, trademark, etc.)
: involved, if we know who they are and how to contact them. Although you
: may be extremely knowledgeable about these types of items, we often
: cannot remove items upon the representations of third parties whose
: credentials we cannot verify, unless of course the alleged infringement
: is obvious on its face. That is why we strongly urge you to notify the
: rights holder of the suspected infringement and encourage them to join
: our Verified Rights Owners (VeRO) Program (formerly called Legal Buddy
: Program). This program enables them to request the ending of allegedly
: infringing auctions.
: We appreciate your vigilance in helping us to keep inappropriate
: auctions off eBay. If we can be of any further assistance, please let
: us know.

: Regards,
: Bob M.
