They then confer amongst </p><p>themselves and either agree or disagree that the listings are </p><p>problematic. They then forward that information to the ANA for review. </p><p>The ANA can then agree or disagree after careful consideration. If they </p><p>agree, they then contact the seller directly. Sellers are then afforded </p><p>24 hours in which to revise or cancel the auctions. If they fail to do </p><p>so, eBay must cancel the auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please be sure to check our Prohibited, Questionable &amp; Infringing Items </p><p>pages for information on eBay listing policies and guidelines:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/items-ov.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/items-ov.html" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/items-ov.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you received an informational alert or warning, and you have </p><p>additional questions, or you have another listing to report, please </p><p>contact us at the following link:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/basics/select-RS.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/help/basics/select-RS.html" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/help/basics/select-RS.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In order for us to get to you in a timely manner, please do not respond </p><p>to this email.

This email came from ebay on July 2nd. Hmmm..... six days should be more than enough time but like I said it&#039;s a holiday week.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can find IT on ebay.
