Older post, I know but no, this person (and all the others) do not have permission to use Disney stuff in their items. If you read down, they even go so far as to claim copyright. I emailed two of them through ebay a while ago asking for proof that they obtained a license. One never got back to me and the other pretty much blew it off like she was doing nothing wrong. When you've got a license to use a brand like that, most, if not all, require that you post a logo or some copyright credits on whatever you're selling. Disney's requirements to become a licensed merchant is long and hard and there's a business proposal process you have to go through. They are very strict and don't let someone sell products using their name just because they ask nice.

Copyright protection violations is rampant on ebay. It's sad because I had an item up that was vero'd and I wasn't doing anything illegal at all. It was resolved and I was able to resell what I had up but it ticks me off to no end. One of the sellers is even a power seller, so she's not only getting away with it, she's making more than pocket change. I reported her auctions but ebay never removed them.
