I do. It's simple. You show ebay which marks you own and they register you. Then you can report violations to them and have them pull auctions as appropriate. It's effective against trinket manufacturers who illegally use our marks on Tshirts, license plate covers, teddy bears, etc. That's the intention of the VERO program.
One sorority has even used their VERO participation to pull badge auctions, because if you're a VERO member reporting a supposed violation, ebay pulls the auction now, asks questions later. But that strategy doesn't work for very long. Once ebay finally gets around to investigating the claims, they realize badge sales aren't a trademark or copyright violation, and they'll no longer pull the auctions.
