其中处理卖家和解的主要是2个女将：

* Allyson M. Martin

http://gbc.law/attorneybios/allyson-m-martin

* Jessica L. Bloodgood

都是法学博士，GBC和解由她们两个处理。

跨境卖家与GBC和解的全过程：

1)被告卖家联系律师，将自己的信息，包括ebay账号、冻结paypal账号、金额、售卖产品的信息发给律师。

2)律师转发卖家邮件给GBC的两位女将，可能也发给女将的头头Justin，邮件内容非常简单，例如 Let's resolve。

逐一说明下：

第一个问题：ebay id的所有者的姓名或者公司名，还有地址

第二个问题：侵权产品销售历史记录，可以是一个订单截图，也可以简单回答I sold 2

第三个问题：供应商信息，例如1688网址等

第四个问题：发票?授权书?或者其他解释性文字

一个例子：

The name of the individual and/or company that owns and operates the Internet Store, and the address of that individual and/or company,

XXXX

Rmxxx, No xxx, 210Lan, Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong, China 

A complete accounting of sales, including corroborating documentation supporting your representation of the number of units sold and the total revenue generated,

I sold 1 for 17.1 USD

Supplier information, and

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.20141002.4.pYJFaO&scm=1007.10009.70205.100200300000001&id=35489458919&pvid=595711d4-2f1b-4bf1-8739-3b8a6ed0419d

Documents evidencing clearance procedures implemented by your client prior to listing products for sale, including procedures for verifying that products are authorized.

I was selling unbranded product, and depend on Alibaba, since Alibaba doesn’t allow to sell fake product, I know selling fake is illegal and tried to avoid.

4)卖家把回答回复律师，律师转发给GBC。

5)GBC收到后会开一个和解条件，你会收到GBC一封很长的邮件，其他都忽略，看这部分即可：

Jeff,

....

In light of the above, Christian Dior is willing to settle this matter for $10,000 via wire transfer. This amount is reasonable in light of prior awards against Internet-based counterfeiters, the value of the CHRISTIAN DIOR Trademarks, steps taken by our client to protect its trademarks and to sufficiently deter your client and similarly situated online counterfeit sellers. It is also well under the maximum award available for non-willful conduct pursuant to 15 USC Section 1117(c).

Please let us know if this offer is acceptable to your client, and we will

prepare and send the settlement agreement.

Best regards,

Allyson Martin | ATTORNEY AT LAW

上面的邮件GBC要求10000usd和解，当然他们附件里面的和解pdf文件也会写的很清楚。

6)如果卖家同意和解，打印和解书最后一页，按如下签字，用手机拍照或者扫描，作为附件回复邮件给律师，律师再传给GBC：

7)GBC通知Paypal撤诉，之后Paypal会发信给你说你的账号恢复了，但是Paypal会做一个二次审核，对于一些比较小或者侵权比较严重的卖家(尺度很主观，完全看Paypal安全组的人怎么看)，Paypal会永久冻结账号。

8)卖家支付律师费用。

几个要点：

1)GBC只会理他们认为有必要搭理的人，如果卖家给GBC写信，他们会忽略，有些律师给GBC写信，GBC也不会搭理，要找和GBC打过交道的律师。

2)整个和解过程涉及4方：卖家、律师、GBC和Paypal，一个案件发生后，如果卖家拖延会错过最佳的和解时间;如果律师太忙没有及时发送你的信息给GBC也会延误案件处理;GBC也有可能忘记处理你的案件，所以和解过程，卖家一定要不停地催(push)，不要说我交给你处理了，我就不管不问了，很多环节可能出问题。

3)案件处理，如果没有延误，第一天发信息给GBC，第二天收到GBC的问题、回复问题答案，第三天收到GBC的条件，如果卖家同意签字割地赔款，第四天Paypal恢复，快的话一周内搞定。

4)和解比例：跟侵权的严重程度有关，跟你处理的时间有关，如果你处理的很晚，快到期了，GBC要求的比例会很高，目前看一般GBC会要求70%左右，他们会取一个500的整数，比如冻结5300，要求拿3500。

5)如果被冻金额太少，比如500usd，GBC会开很高的条件和解，比如10000usd，当然律师可以跟他们还价，但是一般要2000usd以上，你通过银行转账打给GBC，所以如果你发现你的产品被GBC买了，而且的确侵权，那么留个1000-2000usd被他们冻结，然后去和解。
