Monavie has no "Resellers". When someone wants to buy Monavie they have to sign up to be a "Distributor" of Monavie Inc. Basically it's just a pyramid scheme system and you have to sign up to get Auto Shipped Monavie every month. But here's the dirty part. I am a "Distributor of Monavie" and I had pictures of the receipt for the Monavie Active on my auction listing. What else could I possibly do to prove that it's real? I'm selling the real stuff because of the "Auto Ship" I have just too much of the stuff laying around and it's got an expiration date. At $200 a case I'd rather sell it cheap then let it rot.
Why do they have the ability to say that I can't sell their product? I bought it directly from them and it's an authentic product. That's like some company telling me I can't sell my old stuff at my own garage sale.
By monopoly I meant that they are the only seller of their product. Monopoly was the wrong word. They don't have any resellers of their product so the only way to get it is directly from them. Therefore they lose money if someone buys it off of ebay because to order it from them you have to sign up to be in their pyramid scheme.
Also I did contact Monavie and all I got was a sarcastic "We're Sorry" email.
I was selling some Monavie Active on ebay. Monavie Active is basically a health juice drink that is sold exclusively by Monavie Inc. so it is in Monavie's interest to stop people from selling Monaive active on ebay because they have a monopoly over the product. So they report every listing they find on ebay as Infringing on their copyright and ebay automatically takes it down. Now this wouldn't be so bad if ebay had good support but ebay in my opinion is lacking in that area. You can do the whole live chat thing but the reps on that have no influence over the VERO program. You have to reach them by a hidden form on their site and then you get an email address (rswebhelp@ebay.com) All you'll get from talking to them is that you have to contact the company that filed the infringement (Monavie) to resolve it. Now remember Monavie has a monopoly over their product and so their is no way they'll resolve this with me peacefully. Now I admit that ebay is just trying to play nice with everybody but they should really do more to support the little guy when he starts getting squished by the big Corps.
