Dear Sir or Madam:

We are writing concerning your registration and use of the domain name
4 C6 v, u/ v) m) v/ ]( S*******.com which contains the famous eBay trademark.

As you undoubtedly know, eBay is the leading provider of online
& ~/ I1 L' e- |person-to-person trading services and related goods and services. eBay
* g* V2 b# J4 J5 ?adopted the name and trademark eBay in September 1995 and, since that
/ V5 G6 K& [$ M' d5 K3 wtime, eBay has actively used the eBay name and trademark in connection
with its online trading and related services, including maintaining the
# ~/ |$ C$ ^9 t! L) Iweb site www.eBay.com. The coined term eBay is one of the most famous
trademarks on the Internet.  eBay owns exclusive trademark rights to the
eBay name in the United States and internationally, including related
common law rights. Accordingly, eBay enjoys broad trademark rights in
its name.

eBay has made a substantial investment in developing and providing its
, a# o+ r! L2 }3 m: k' [9 `1 R+ xservices. As a result of eBay's pioneering efforts and devoting
9 e9 ^9 _  N  u2 ^4 ]/ w0 {" vsubstantial effort and resources to providing only high quality
# i" r$ p0 U# x2 \% K% G/ v5 o% J: Fservices, the eBay name and trademarks are widely known among the
consuming public worldwide, and the name and trademarks embody
. G) C/ T. A) \. Asubstantial and valuable goodwill.

; x# L* n9 ]7 b1 G3 H, gAccordingly, we were concerned when we learned of your registration and
1 w4 W/ V) h% v  Wuse of*********.com. As we hope you can appreciate, protection of
its trademarks is very important to eBay. Your registration and use of
8 Z9 G& P5 ]' n* owww.******com violates the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.)
because it infringes and dilutes the famous eBay trademark.  
! R( t% ]6 c9 n: `! w
Infringement occurs when a third party's use of a company's trademark
+ Y" v" R! h; e: e+ C: }2 r1 r(or a confusingly similar variation thereof) is likely to confuse
consumers as to the affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement of the third
party's services.  Trademark dilution occurs when a third party's use of
+ R! J& p% ~1 m) h6 p8 l- r; ?a variation of a company's trademark is likely to lessen the
distinctiveness of the company's famous trademark.
9 n" |' [5 I, E( S: [  z1 V. w& [
We have filed several successful federal court actions in the United
* e* o0 X6 B* o: g8 V, eStates against companies and individuals employing the famous eBay
6 i! x; L4 u/ ]" a) Rtrademark in their domain names, as well as more than six proceedings
before the United Nation's World Intellectual Property Organization's
. w( M$ T6 q8 y$ yarbitration panel. eBay has prevailed in each case and the domain names
$ D/ A8 W+ v. G" f! X: U' Q' Yat issue were all ordered to be transferred to eBay.  
8 N7 A3 m, l; b  M! a) ^
/ o+ c8 \  U2 m6 r7 }) V7 tIn addition to the above, the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("USPTO") has recently denied registration of the mark "ebaysecurities"
1 c) [' e, R) u0 u+ ~2 ?by a third party. Like your domain name,  "ebaysecurities" incorporated
the entire eBay trademark, adding only a generic term to eBay's famous
, {! w" C8 s+ T. ?. X, jmark. The USPTO recognized that eBay is a famous trademark and therefore
/ p  {) |0 n8 G  Qdenied registration of ebaysecurities. eBay is concerned that your
& @  r5 U0 v, x' ^unauthorized use of the eBay name may cause confusion as to whether you
or your company's activities are authorized, endorsed or sponsored by
- g" V# G' @" C- E: q9 l3 |7 {+ R' eeBay when, in fact, they are not.  

We understand that you may have registered www.****-****.com without
8 N+ `* @5 X* A% k& sfull knowledge of the law in this area. However, eBay is concerned about
. S" Y% u; b7 p, H( C( D. ]3 Iyour use of the eBay trademark in your domain name.  As you may know,
the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act
(http://www.submerged-ideas.com/litigation/anticybersquat.htm) provides
for serious penalties (up to $100,000 per domain name) against persons
who, without authorization, use, sell, or offer for sale a domain name
that infringes another's trademark.

While eBay respects your right of expression and your desire to conduct
8 \+ ?7 D  ]% ~, Z9 ]$ \" @business on the Internet, eBay must enforce its own rights in order to
& W: k6 g! m' Q2 D  {9 c5 f, @protect its valuable and famous trademark. For these reasons, and to
  B+ _  i3 {( t6 X- m1 N# f/ mavoid consumer confusion, eBay must insist that you immediately stop
using www.*******  and disable any site available at that
address. You should not sell, offer to sell, or transfer the domain name
3 c2 ]: O  k" \5 q" Uto a third party and should let the domain registration expire.   

; o, R4 C1 G" U- gPlease confirm in writing that you will agree to resolve this matter as
; v$ K% _- c" L/ B5 xrequested by November 9, 2005. If we do not receive confirmation from
* T) r" F( v. I4 ?- v" O. ^) ]you that you will comply with our request, we will have no choice but to
pursue all available remedies against you.
