I recently received the below email from another ebay member, demanding I
remove an ebay listing. How can I determine if this is legit? I looked up
the patent number at the US patent office and Google's patent search, and
both came up empty. It seems as if patents must be in a 7-digit format,
which this isn't. The person is refusing to give me any more information.
Can anyoneh here help?
