"$1 from each sales goes to support TheCoverProject!"
Out of curiosity. . .
What user is this?

This is me :)
I used the $1 from each sale to buy boxes and scan them to make cases. I then post them to this site. Since i can't directly "pay" anyone, i think thats the best way. I am currently busy making some Game Boy covers for a customer ( i have been posting them in the CD case section since they are using my poly cases). Once that's done i will get some boxes to scan.

I just received an listing policy violation from ebay for a UGC listing of a Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World Custom case.
Since ebay has been allowing these cases since, at least, 2008, i am assuming this is another seller that is upset that we are selling the cases for almost half of what others are.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

So you are a legal seller, ask TCP admins to sell them and you are giving back scans of boxes and covers to "pay" TCP, but you are the one in violation.
nice one Ebay lol
Definitely i think is other seller trying to get you out of the business. Don't know if is a good idea letting ebay know that you have been authorize by the creator of the cover to sell them.

Sounds like it. I am just going the route of stating that these have been for sale on eBay since at least 2008 and there are 10's of thousands of active and completed listings.
Unless Nintendo is finally cracking down on this. Which doesn't make any sense to do as, if nothing else, adds interest for their products.
I will let you know what happens.

Because Nintendo is really a logically thinking company. Just look at what reason they gave for the new Smash Bros. not having a story mode.
