Nate Vogel owns and operates Theo’s Treasures, an eBay storefront that specializes in selling pre-owned clothing. After receiving his engineering degree, Nate taught computer science to high school students until the COVID-19 pandemic, when he grew dissatisfied with the behind-the-scenes aspects of teaching. He had sold stuff on eBay as a casual seller beforehand, and had been selling online while working as a teacher: in 2020 he decided to stop teaching and focus on his eBay business part-time while taking care of his young son. Today, Theo’s Treasures has sold over 8,700 items on eBay’s platform and has a 100% positive feedback rating. Nate’s primary concern with the 2023 SHOP SAFE bill is that it lacks protections for sellers who make their living from pre-owned goods. While he has never gotten a VeRO listing, he has been cautious to only sell from big brands who have proven track records not misusing the VeRO system. He is concerned especially with the Three Strikes Policy, which he feels does not protect sellers from the misuse of VeRO by big brands to ban sellers permanently from online platforms.
