<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 652411, member: 5629&quot;]That remains to be seen in court if and when any individual or class decides to file complaint against them for any situation that may arise regarding their claims.&nbsp; eBay&#039;s policies and user agreements in no way append or change any legal sales contract entered into by a buyer and seller.&nbsp; To do so makes them party to the contract. I would suspect that eBay would reply with a resounding &quot;no&quot; to any question to this affect.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There have been no &quot;reversals&quot; of old law, simply a precedence and affirmation in common to codified law.&nbsp; A reversal of a lower court&#039;s decision, yes.&nbsp; But not a reversal of law.&nbsp; The law has not changed, and neither has implementation of said law.&nbsp; And again, ethical and moral right is not necessarily legal right.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And that is your prerogative as a merchant.&nbsp; However, your choice to conduct business in such a manner in no way makes others&#039; business practices &quot;illegal&quot; because you have a differing ethical view of the situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>If eBay does do away with the option for sellers to have the buyer obtain insurance through the carrier, but offers the insurance option through themselves, I suspect that an even bigger can of worms will eventually open up.&nbsp; And as I stated previously, eBay&#039;s policies and user agreements are not part of the legal contract, and their policies and agreements do not supersede your sales contract.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the seller explicitly transfers title upon payment, and provisions the buyer&#039;s payment for insurance (whether it is included in the shipping costs or not), that is the legal sales contract.&nbsp; Sure, eBay could disallow the seller from continuing to use their venue, but their policies do not change your legal contract.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You have been presented with factual and verifiable codified law and court opinion regarding this issue.&nbsp; Do you really believe that this statement by eBay is correct?&nbsp; I have presented you with fact.&nbsp; I do not expect it to change your perceptions or practices at all, as it should not since that is not the reason for bringing this to light.&nbsp; That is not the point here.&nbsp; The point is that certain business practices are perfectly legal and have been validated through the legal system already.&nbsp; These practices are not necessarily &quot;illegal&quot; because you ethically do not agree with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
