Palmer Biggs Legal Solicitors & ebay

[morisleilei]

Hi guys I have the same problem now.

 

 

I sold some ps3 controllers on Ebay and

 

 

got the letter from Palmer Biggs last week,

 

 

with all the feedbacks from ebay

and a picture of the product

(saying they bought it from one of my customer),

 

 

claimed me to pay their solicitor fee (£1000),

and also the certain amount of the profit,

stop to sell, etc.

 

 

I got these products from China and paid the supplier via paypal,

 

 

I have all the invoices and funny thing is after I got the letter from Palmer bigs,

 

 

I have asked the supplier if they are faked,

and the supplier replied me via email say yes

but sorry did not tell me that.

 

 

I have also take one of the product to HMV and GAME,

both of them told me it is faked but looks very close to the original one.

I have stopped to sell them already.

 

I have read quite a few threads from internet and got various answers. I am bit confused and scared.

 

First of all, should I pay them or response to them?

Doesn't the trading standard or police should knock my door first if I was selling something fake?

 

Secondly, how big the chance I will lose if I do not pay them or just ignore them?

I doubt I will be fined for a large amount because I only sold less than 50pcs, the total net profit I got only around £400.

 

Thirdly, can I negotiate with them for the price?

for example, I pay them £300 or the whole profit I got?

Thanks

I think we can take it that all products that come from China are fake.

 

 

The only way you can be certain is to buy them through the bona fide dealer.

 

 

First off,

who has given them the authority to send you a bill and how do they mitigate a £1,000 to all people they are out to trick.

 

 

I would not pay them a penny,

but if you want to stay perfectly legal and

stick a middle finger up to PB,

 

 

then see how much profit you have made from the products

and send that to the real owner of the copyright

with a letter of explanation and an apology.

 

 

 

 

P.S. India is just as unreliable.

Have moved your post to the General Legal Issues where all the other PB threads are.

per I'd be very suspect of this

 

 

almost sounds like an RLP spoof.

 

 

the courts are the ones that decide what you owe not them.
