NOTIFICATION OF INKY IMPRESSIONS NAME BEING USED... FOR SELLING ON EBAY!!!

Hello everyone. This morning I received an email from one of my friends letting me know that someone is using the name "Inky Impression" on Ebay to sell stamps. As you know, we are "Inky Impressions" with an S. They are selling stamps from other companies & we want to inform you all that this is not our company, nor is it an affiliate of our company. Inky Impressions soley engages in the manufacturing and sales of "our own product". Any other product that is being sold under the Inky Impression (s) name is that of another person and is being done without the permission of Inky Impressions Rubber Stamps.

Please note: We have had the opportunity to contact Ebay & we are currently in the process of researching this now. Hope you are all having a great weekend. HUGS! Nicole : )
