I tried to sell my A5 on ebay a few days ago. Auction was going to close tonight when it suddenly disappeared. I checked my messages and found this:
Now I realize it was probably my mistake for saying MP5 style stock & foregrip but for Pete's sake!!!
Anyone want a cheap MPx style A5? :rolleyes:

The listing was removed because it violated eBay

The rights owner or an agent authorized to act
on behalf of the rights owner, Heckler & Koch,

intellectual property rights. When eBay receives
a report of this type of violation, we remove
the listing to comply with the law.
The rights owner reported the following
information:
Your auction has been terminated because the
Tippmann X7, A5, X36 Special Ops and/or other
brand conversion/modification kits and or
paintball markers being advertised for sale by
you is used exclusively for the purpose of
creating an unlicensed paintball replica of the
H&K MP5®, G36® and/or UMP®. The H&K MP5®, G36®
and/or UMP® designation and shape are the sole
property of H&K and may not be used without its

Trademark infringement is unlawful and violates
eBay's policies. A trademark is a unique sign
(such as a name, word, phrase, logo, or symbol)
that a company uses to identify its products
and/or services.
Using another company's trademark in a way that
may confuse buyers about the source of goods or
services, or confuses buyers into believing that
the seller is affiliated with, sponsored by or
endorsed by the trademark owner is both illegal
and against eBay's policies. Examples include
counterfeits, unauthorized replica items and
items that bear the brand or logo of a company
without that company's permission.
Guideline: If the product you are listing bears
the brand or logo of a company, but it wasn't
made or authorized by that company, don't sell
it on eBay.
Using a trademark without the trademark owner's
permission infringes trademark law. For this
reason, eBay prohibits members listing items
which bear a another's trademark but are not
authorized by that trademark owner.
