A message to the Ebay police

Bill,
It is not only in the Luger community. Although I am a Luger collector at heart, I do have other interests. I listed a Bulova Accutron. The listing was removed because I used the word " Bulova" illegally. Ebay said I was trying to infringe on a brand name that did not apply to the item I was selling: that Bulova and Accutron and were not related. WOW did I come unguled. I eventually prevailed, but it took an act of Congress to allow me to use the words together.
