my reply:
Cola,
I've never imagined that I have to go through all this. I've never imagined to spend thousand of hong kong dollars going to Japan taking pictures for counterfeit bags without any reward. I don't think the tone in previous emails meaning anything disrespectful. I gather the general picture of what you are trying to explain. And I am simply telling you that you can actually take away pictures of my blythe as you previously indicated that yahoo auction did not allow you to do so. And I even offered assitance to contact yahoo for you in case you have difficulties to do it. And since you are saying the items are "legally import from other other countries", and probably you are the victim of the case by having no idea that it is UNAUTHENTIC. And since you got my notice, admiting there are problems from the orginials factory in clearing the authencity of the product, I think it's reasonable to take away the product from the auction. Since you said you are being innocently involved with such trouble, I sincerely hope you will provide have detail information of where you purchase the items.
As for the proof of owing the pictures, I got piles of orginial copies including pictures of me and the doll together in the same venue, and I.T. experts and police can definitely read the data. Since I have lost confinence in showing my pictures in public, I will not post the original pictures online. But I probably will provide to the relevant organisations if neccessary.
Thanks for your prompt response. May I know where exactly get those bags from? I wish I will not see you to sell counterfeit bags with my photos anymore in any of your auction or colashop.com.tw . And I believe you may recieve silmiar complaints over the blythe bags soon as many of the pictures are stolen from other blythe lovers without consent. I shall keep an eye on the sites.
Best regards,

To whom it may concern,
by the way, i do mind that there are still pictures of my blythe photos in your auction site. you can definitely delete or edit those pictures. i have been auctioning in yahoo for quite some time. it can be done for sure. if you are really sorry for selling counterfeit products, please kindly respect and understand my disgust in seeing my work is in fake bags. if you have problems to do so, i can contact yahoo taiwan auctions to assist you.
got her reply today. she has withdrawn the selling of the bags containing my pictures in the auction and her website. but... how come a "sole agent in taiwan" has no idea of what blythe is? and why she deliberately delete all questions in Q&A? please voice out if you are affected.
In the auction site, she added a small paragraph at the end:
"i sorry for those who like the temple blythe bag version. The bag's picture is not authentic, so the orginal factory retrieved the item. Bidders please email cola to get the pattern you want. "
(does this mean "bidders if you want to buy those forbiddened to sell in public, please email me?")
attached below is her email.

The first,I apologize to you for selling these bags with your own picture.I can understand your mad! I'm really so sorry!
The second,I hope you can also understand my position,and pay your petience to listen to my description,ok?(I'm not a thief and unreasonable person~)
Last month, I took my family to Thailand to have a trip,we found an interesting store selling dolly bags,and we 4 bought many of these cute bags to TW.
While we were buying, I ask many many questions to the boss about copyright and is it a counterfeit? He told me "not to be afraid! my biggest customer is a Japaness!"
I don't know Blythe at first,I just wanna buy something special to TW to sale a nice price.........In TW,there isn't any agent for Blythe,everyone could buy many products with any kind of Blythe's pattern! Especially "~ Made in China ~"(You can try to ask any Taiwaness.)
Anyway,I apologize to you again,that I DO NOT MEAN FOR HARM! I even didn't know all of the Blythe's name,country and background....etc.
Now,I promise you to remove all of the bags containing your own photos "Picca".And I've just have a phone call to this boss in Thai,he'll withdraw all Picca's bags soon.
~ PS.~ If some auctions that can't be changed the picture,I'll update its description......for <>......!
